I am going to make patches or creepy pillow cases. Also do this!

The frontalis pulls up the eyebrows

I sketched this in less than an hour, using anatomical reference from an art book I’ve been working my way through. It’s a shame actually, once I finished the sketch I really wished I’d been recording it, it went so fast.

The book’s got information about facial expressions an the muscles that dictate them, and I’m at the part with the brow and how the frontalis muscles are like venetian blinds on the skull that pull the brow back and wrinkle the forehead.

As a note I love high shiny foreheads and side parts. The mobile picture that I did yesterday (I didn’t post it here but through my instagram account) was also from lessons in the book, that one dealing with how movements of the eyebrow effect the folds of the eyelid.

If you have an instagram account look me up. I’ve been doing digital painting on my ipod and uploading it to there. It’s extremely satisfying, even with the tiny tiny screen, to be able to draw right onto the medium. It feels closer to the work than my tablet does, and the results are surprising me.

The universe has been kind enough to send a little birdie telling me that an ipad is on the way to me, so that I will be able to do my sketching on a larger screen!

It is fun to draw old people.

I have been sketching faces during in-between times and this is the most recent. I have discovered how much fun it is to draw old people, I feel like this is something that most other people already knew. I lack some a priori understanding of the depth in a time ravaged face. Too much time in search of prettiness, perhaps. I was glancing at this guy while drawing.
