facial features drawing

This assignment was to find images of facial features in magazines, cut them out and to recreate them on paper. All my images were quite small, but that made it kind of fun and challenging. I used a simple graphite pencil to draw each feature as realistic as I could. I think the most difficult features to draw were the mouths, which surprised me because I am usually pretty bad at drawing noses, but this definitely helped me understand the form a little more. I was originally thinking of cutting them all out once they were drawn and creating this collage monster and doing the same with the reference photos, but I liked how this page turned out more and it would’ve been too difficult to find edges around all the features.
