SOME MORE FACES TO DRAW

Holy Mackerel! What a smile (above)!  The cheeks are amazing.  When someone smiles like this, do the cheek muscles inflate or simply bunch up? If they bunch up, then why doesn't that steal mass from some other part of the face? Almost the whole muzzle gets larger. 

Also interesting is the triangle in which her nose and mouth are embedded. They do lose a little mass, but not enough to explain where the cheek bulge comes from.  When the triangle stretches out to the sides like this, you can see the features wrap around the vertical mouth cylinder. 

I love clothes that wear the human.  Here (above) John Carradine is enveloped by a predatory Gaham Wilson jacket . The jacket is the sentient creature, Carradine is merely the conveyance.

What a silhouette! Look at the way the man's features (above) wrap around the front of his head. And that furrowed brow...!

Nanga! Nanga! Nanga! ! I love "S" curves in figure photography (above). 

A typical nerd face (above)...or is it? If you imagine a normal hair cut, no glasses and a closed mouth, the guy doesn't look like a nerd anymore.  It makes you wonder how many nerds you know that are really normal looking people who dress funny.

 Above, a "Z" curve! Also, a fascinating head shape and chest on this girl. The straight hair emphasizes them.

Some girls (above) are self-conscious about having braces,  and they try to cover them up by smiling in a strange way.  I sympathize. After a lifetime of smiling in a way that covers up my buck teeth, I've learned to let my teeth show naturally.  I'd hide them if I thought it would do any good, but there's no use trying to conceal what can't be concealed. Actually, I kinda like them now. 

People's whole lower muzzle (above) withdraws into their face and neck when they smile, or at least it seems to. The effect is heightened by the whole head being pulled back and the cheeks being thrust out. Fascinating, eh?
