Among the many reasons why I don’t like to draw the faces of men, these two are the biggest. Their ears are so visible and over all they are generally so incredibly hairy.
So,try to ignore the ears which I couldn’t be bothered finishing, and the inaccurate directions in which the stubble appears to be headed. Other than that, I am calling it okay. Not just another pretty face, and more challenging than anything on a Friday really needs to be.
Today the weather is cool with gusty winds and welcome rain. Perfect for staying inside and messing about with charcoal. I’ve lost track of how many coffees I’ve consumed.
I should tell you that this drawing was inspired by a photo of Hugh Laurie. Now you don’t have to wonder who it vaguely reminds you of any longer. This information might even give you something totally different to wonder about.
And on that note, in this world full of wonder, have a wonderful weekend!

I knew right away who this was, and once again your eyes are amazing, as are the wrinkles on that face.

I did, too! I saw the jaw before the rest and thought, “That looks like Hugh Laurie’s!” No joke. 🙂

I wonder if you have any idea how much I appreciate this! It’s so hard to get somebody to actually look the way they’re supposed to. Glad this is so close.😄

Yay! Usually before posting I let things go for a bit and then I start to like them better. Or can more easily see where they need tweaking. Maybe it is worth going back and fixing Hugh’s ears. Lol

Wow, this is really impressive, Lin! You’ve done a wonderful job with this very interesting face!! Way to go, lady. PS the expression is so cool, I’d have never veered over to the ears if you hadn’t mentioned. I said “wow” when I saw this! 💜

This is why we should never be quick to point out our own shortcomings or mistakes! But who can help doing that?? lol
There’s also a scribble on the shirt. Oops. 😄

I like it. It has a lot of character – a story behind that face and expression.

Ha, I couldn’t remember his real name, but said right away, “Dr. House!” Awesome. Also, though, this rendering of him makes visible the little boy he once was, and somewhere inside, still is. You have such a gift.

Once again I am blown away by your talent.
I would LOVE to say it looks like Hugh but I have NO idea who he is!!!

He is an actor perhaps best known for the TV series in which he played Dr. House. Now if you ever do meet him you will recognize him immediately. lol😄

My husbands whiskers grow all over the place…even on his ears. I tell him he’s part werewolf.

HaHa…I will have to check that photo again – maybe that’s why I didn’t want to finish the ears…
