The problem with drawing faces...

Human's brain is funny, and it has a very intricate network to process information about faces. Which is why it's bloody hard to draw a sketch of someone's face and make it look like the person you're supposed to draw. *sigh*

Take this for example. It's another one of my midnight impulse sketch. (Most of my good drawing were done after midnight. Go figure.) I took a nice picture of an actress (Petey if you think I'll say who the actress is, well you're wrong. Muhahahaha :P You can keep guessing.) and try to render it in pencil. It looks like a face. But doesn't look like her face. Even the smallest difference makes the face completely different.

Maybe I should stick with drawing imaginary characters. :P

Feel free to guess who she is. Bet you can't. :P

But it does go to show how good human's brain is in recognising faces. Fascinating eh? :)
