Janice Duke Illustration 
Some real nice work. Do you draw these faces from scratch or do you base them of of real people?
Depends. If I want them to look real, like with this, I’ll have an idea in mind and then find some some faces to reference to get the structure, lighting, hair styles and skin tones etc. that I want. As I detail them I make them look more distinct, partly because I’ll start with several faces to reference and partly because I go on to have more fun with it, making them as I want them. His face started from I think maybe six photos of six different men, one had the right hair, another an expression I liked, another the eyes, and so on. And there are parts that are totally from scratch.
Thank you for enlightening me. Always wish i could be better at drawing. Sadly stick men will suffice for me
You’re welcome. There’s a lot to be said for hundreds of hours of practice 😉
Fantastic!
Thank you 😊
