When I’m not sure how to get my hands moving, my ‘go to’ subject matter lately is faces. Quick sketches, usually one-liners, distorted and that’s what I love about them.
This one in particular is a favorite because I cannot read his expression. Is it disgust, boredom, disbelief, exhaustion, disdain, contempt, interest, confusion? He shows great concentration and appears almost ready to speak. What do think he’ll say?

I often find photos of faces in the newspaper that move me — a pose, the eyes, an expression, the wrinkles… I cut them out and keep them.
A week ago I was in just the right mood to pull out my recent stash of these. My moleskine® sketchbook and I had a glorious date.
