So, two interesting things you should know about Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine: she is awesome in concert (and seeing as that hers was the first and only concert I have yet to attend, opinion is extremely valuable) and that she and I share the same birthday.
So, I wanted to practice faces. I figured a good exercise would be to draw from a picture of someone and try to capture the uniqueness of their features in the simplified line form of comic drawing.
Florence has a lot of lines in her face around her cheeks and mouth, even when she's not smiling. These age her in real life so I knew they would do so more if I copied them completely. I tried to minimize them without totally getting rid of them, and I think I did alright. Tom Lyle might disagree, he would advise to avoid doing anything that makes a woman look like a man, or old, or like an old man.
But yeah, more later. Later.
