Doodling Actors

I am always pushing my drawings to be simpler and more abstract, yet while still retaining enough elements of the original subject so that a certain naturalism is still evident. It’s a continual struggle, as I seem to always veer back towards a more representational approach.

The page of doodles above is one of my exercises in the strive towards abstraction. The drawings were drawn from photos of movie actors from the 30s, 40s and 50s.
