I often box myself into a difficult corner. I try to work from my own photographs but I can't resist wanting to use compelling images that professional photographers create with amazing lighting and beautiful clarity of detail with poignancy of subject. I keep thinking of ways I can fairly work with them. I decided that I would create a series of drawings of different parts and then create my own Potato Head! I will have a sketch book full of eyes, one of noses, one of lips and chins, face shapes, hair ideas, hats, hands, etc. Then I will create totally new faces based on my sketches. The first image is a combination of 3 different people. How fun is this!!!

No matter how you do these, they are always fabulous! I don't see these eyes in your eye sketches though...do I?
That solution was exactly what I was going to suggest! Fun!!
Hi Sherry, You are a sharp observer! No, the eyes in the completed drawing have not been duplicated yet. Lots more to draw!
Lisa, you know what they say about great minds!
A clever solution to a difficult problem.
Ah, what fun difficult corners you box yourself into!!! Love the way your brain works :)
