Coffee Mugs

Children are even more challenging than women to draw...for many of the same reasons. If you overdraw you quickly accumulate years on the person until it's questionable whether it's a child or perhaps an effeminate man. It's an exercise in editing, you should only give your viewer features and facial elements on a "need to see" basis.

In case you were concerned about the drawing below, it IS a drawing of a middle-age+ adult, and NOT an overdrawn child image.

Or maybe I'm lying. And this entire post is all overdrawn children...

It's likely, I'm sure, some of these men act childish sometimes... so who's to argue? A good exercise would be to draw an adult as you might assume they looked as children.

Which begs the question: Is the drawing below an assumption, or alla prima?
