The huma body is complicated

...and I realize now that I know virtually nothing about it, structure-wise.  Eyelids, as seemingly simple-looking as they appear, have a very subtle form that is tough to capture.  The problem with the human body, faces, and expressions is that they are all very subtle.  If even the smallest thing is off, it botches everything, and your efforts are wasted. 

I've been drawing heads and faces and expressions like a crazy person for the past few weeks.  I'm finding it tough to wrap my head around some of the weird face shapes out there.  Faces differ person to person, and it can be pretty confusing to draw an unfamiliar face type. 

But yeah.  Just tracking my own progress.  As it would turn out, faces are very, very confusing.

Back to work for me.
