Ghost Faces, running out of space
[click to enlarge]
Goofing off again with Mr. Doob's Harmony Drawing Program.
Challenging, yes. It's hard to draw with a mouse. Noses come out deformed, color leaps from hair to face. You can't erase your mistakes: a chin gone wrong becomes a scarf. Art this is not--but it's fun . . . and relaxing.
It started out to be James Dean (but looks more like a bad attempt at a Dean Martin caricature). His shoulders seemed off a bit--so I made them into the hair of two girls. That gave me the idea to make it into a bunch of faces. The ones in the front could all be watching a movie. Hanky-panky going on in the back seat to the left, a conversation at the right, a mercenary keeping guard at the rear. The poor frightened girl with what looks like a beard--it's not a beard. Three tries at attempting a chin and I gave up and gave her a brown veil instead. Her hair is supposed to be yellow. (You call this yellow, Mr. Doob?!) If that's what yellow comes out like, what must flesh-colored (for the faces) look like? (You don't want to know.)

The faces are too white. They look ghastly. Ghostly. So I'm calling this Ghost Faces.
