As a way to warm up in the mornings before I start animating I’ve been doing these facial studies from the tv. I’ve been trying to keep it to 5 minutes a drawing, my goal being to get it down to 2 minutes each pretty soon here. All done in black colored pencil or china marker so I can’t cheat and erase.

It’s actually been quite an education on how shadows and the imperfections that give a person’s face it’s character can be exaggerated, downplayed, or completely obliterated depending on how lighting and make up are used in television and film.
