Omgosh gallface I didn’t know you were as cute as a button :D! *gently pats ur hella kawaii face* :DDDDD!!!!! Haha even if you pull an intense stare into the camera, you’re still hella cute :3. I neglected to ask if I could add the source, so if I can, lemme know and I’ll upload that too, yeah? :D

Gosh, I’m starting to see I’m sort of improving? The placements and stuff and general lines are becoming less erratic and more fixed to where they should be I guess, if that makes any sense :). Also the hair and top of the head aren’t too short anymore! (Lol going back to my previous drawings I noticed I’d sometimes make the head too short which resulted in a few drawings that looked a bit off and I couldn’t put my finger on why haha.)

My favourite part to draw was probably that intense stare and the accompanying maybe-murderous smile XD;. I hope I did it justice XDDDD!

(Drawn 15-AUG-2015, It took me 2.5 hours to draw, but I got distracted a lot with random things, so it might be closer to 1.5 hours probably.)

Edited to add source!

Woohoo! This is another irl friend of mine who so graciously lend me her face for practice purposes :D! It was great to have an open mouthed smile this time that showed off actual toofs!

I think as long as I make sure things are relative to other things, I can actually do this drawing stuff FAST and do the original justice :o. No source btw, as she didn’t want it online :p.

Favourite thing to work on? The smile :D! It was quite some work to map out the teeth and the bottom lip stumped me for a bit as the first few attempts ended up like she got her lip stung lol. The sketch actually came pretty close to the end result! Gotta try keeping that up :o!

(Drawn 14-AUG-2015, took less than 1.5 hours :D! I only ran into problems with teeth and bottom lip, everything else went smoothly :3!)

Well... you did say to ‘take your pick’... People! Give it up for jesliey and his awesome face 8D!!! As you can see from my brilliant substitution, he is a connoisseur de dank memes ;).

Man, you have no idea how much fun this one was XD! I think I probably had to stop a bunch of times because I was laughing so much. Like yeah, dignified poses and pretty expressions are great, but sometimes you just want to draw something funny and this guy just delivered! *gently pats ur face* Please never stop making weird faces like these; the world would be a lot less bright without them.

Oh dear, what was my favourite thing to draw? Definitely the skinfolds! There are so many of them XD!!!! I was kinda stumped on how to do those without making them go all over the place and out of proportion, but using other facial structures as reference points was the way to go :D! I think I did okay, but there’s of course always room for improvement :).

(Drawn 12-AUG-2015, took roughly 2 hours including background. But I kept getting distracted by outbursts of mirth that it was spread over 3 hours more like lol.)

This is handsome fellah frost-jack, or Matt :D! I’m pretty sure he piqued my interest because of his Dave Strider cosplay at the time (gosh that’s a long time ago! :O!). I’m pretty sure he’s stopped Stridering about, but now there’s stuff like Noiz cosplay, Cain cosplay, and Jack Frost cosplay :D!

Anyway! I badly botched the perspective and foreshortening thing and just went ‘wut perspective??? forewhatta???? 8D???’. Sorry about that 8D;! I need to learn how to work with that :l.

On the other hand, I think I’m doing ok with the faces now? Important bits aren’t just floating all over the place anymore at least :D!

I don’t know what my favourite part to draw was to be honest... I think it might have just been the fact that Matt’s face is long? Everyone else had generally short face shapes, so it’s great to draw something different :D!

(Drawn 11-AUG-2015, took uhm, I think 2.5 hours? The initial sketch only took 10 minutes, but I used a lot of time figuring out how the perspective thing worked, before flinging that out the window D8;. Then there was some time spend dicking around with the clothes and an attempt was made at background lol. I know, the background looks weird and horrible XD;;;;...)

Look! This is my cousin :D! She’s a hard-working and quiet gal and one of my favourite cousins ^^! She actually does artisty stuff for a living holy shit :o! (Although I think she does industrial design? She arts the packaging and stuff and in the past she would show me really cool stuff she did for class :D!)

She’s usually the one to take me places when I’m in Hong Kong and it’s generally fun to be around her :) *gently pats cousin’s face*

Anyway, no source. Because 8p. You know, the shape her eyes currently have are called ‘phoenix eyes’ in Chinese and it’s really rad that she just does that when she smiles :D! I’m appalled I never noticed to be honest D8;.

[stealthdrawings]

Oh no! Who even is this selfproclaimed dweeb? Why it khemi!!!! Obvsly yeh :3.

I love that ONE saucy eyebrow, it needs its own shrine!

... ok... perhaps not D8;;;...

Anyway, all lolz aside! I liked working on this one because I like those half, one-sided smiles some people do (because that’s how I smile too :D!). I’m not entirely convinced I did it as much justice though ene... (sorry Khemster! D8;!) I hope you see this and recognise yourself in there 8D!

(Drawn 09-AUG-2015, took about 1.5 hours for the face itself. Then I spend another hour trying to get the clothing details right. I might have still botched the hat though D8;.)

Who is this handsome guy who is too cool to be bothered about trifling stuff like stale bread??? Obviously dis kapteeni-mortti! 8D No source because I’m not sure if the Captain is ok with that :o.

To start with, I’m sorry for making your initial sketch look like you‘ve got some odd face-squishing going on D8;. And for the weird toupet. I’m sorry m(_ _;)m...

On the bright side, you look hecka cool finished 8D;;;;!!! *pats your lovely face 8D*

I was mostly thrown off by his mouth since this is the first time I’m drawing someone with a non-smiling mouth :o. Was a good exercise tho! Thanks Captain, for letting your natural RBS (Resting Bitchface Syndrome) shine through 8D! Tis much appreciated and no matter what anyone else says, I think you look great with it, you magnificent bastard! 8′3

(Drawn 08-AUG-2015, took about 2 hours because I’m not feeling well D8;. This had nothing to do with the Captain’s face tho; he looks great! I may have a cold or something is all :c.)

Edit: Added source picture! :3
