MALE FACES TO DRAW


I'm really busy, so I hope you won't be offended if I put up something quick and dirty from my file of favorite faces. These are all good subjects to draw, I just don't have the time to comment on them adequately.

I'll start with Victor Mature (above). Now THERE'S a face! A vertical brow (most men have diagonal brows), ears that stick out at the bottom, deep-set eyes with heavy, dramatic lids, big lips, masculine jaw...it's an interesting  combination of features.


Here's (above) Richard Widmark.... Aaaargh! Time restraints force me to post him without comment!


















One of these days I'll have to do a post about Chaplin's partner, Eric Campbell (above). In the Mutuals shorts Chaplin and Campbell are a team. When Campbell died in an auto accident, Chaplin had to stop making funny shorts. His slapstick style depended heavily on Campbell as a foil, and it just wasn't possible to continue further down that road without him.



Campbell (above, without make-up) was a real pro with long stage experience in the same innovative group that the young Chaplin belonged to. 






Here's (above) proof that Wally Wood-type people actually exist. This man even looks like Wally Wood!
