People are People too!

When you are thinking about how to draw people, don't forget that each person you are going to draw has a story.

That story may be happening in the instant you are drawing them (which may explain why you are drawing them!).

But always be on the watch for "the inside story", what's written on their faces.

And don't tell me you can't read faces, every person on this planet is very good at reading expressions--you just gotta open your heart and be open to what feelings you see on their expressions.

I would go so far as to say that the facial muscles are so accurate at relaying emotions that you would have to have been locked away for most of your life if you can't accurately read a face.

If you want more information on what that's about, go pick up the book "Blink" by Malcom Gladwell--he has a wonderful story about how science has deciphered and interpreted the facial muscles of expression--there are only about 3,000 meaningful expressions based on 43 facial muscles.

That all might seem alot, but in truth we all know them well and they provide the rich pallet (no pun intended) of stories available upon which to draw.
