Visual Cogitations™: Coffee Mugs

Coffee Mugs

The face is always a battle between the sinking and the protruding. The most interesting faces visually are the ones that have the sinking parts protruding, and the expected protrusions sinking. Interesting indeed, but few people want to be THAT interesting; most folk want to be like everyone else.
...and avoid that sinking feeling.

Great captures, Richard! I can hear the voices of these people just by looking at the imagery. The tapping hand and foot in the final picture tells me he's thinking about drawing pictures of jazz musicians.

Perfect! love the one of Gil especially.

The second one down is great as well. Don't know the name but the expression of the personality is right on. Those eyebrows are lethal.

I'm going to have to agree in that I would not want an inverted nose. I like to smell things that smell nice, for one thing. So the first guy looks like bodybuilder/philosopher (think Dalton in Roadhouse. Actually I'm sorry, no one should have to think of that movie lol). The second - a Russian novelist, the third - drama instructor, and the final guy a brilliant but socially awkward scientist type. (I could certainly be convinced otherwise, but these are my first impressions.) Terrific and wonderful personalities, all of them. Always fun to visit!

Oh! And my latest for IF has extra sketches in your honor. (Really! I even mention you.) ;D

I think you got Rozak's likeness and a quite bit of his personality, here, Richard. I can see some of the traits in Frazee and Underwood-but all of them are quite good, as usual.
