Electric Six?
I got the words from a song called Never Say Never by Romeo Void ('82).
then I found a rather raunchy re-make (ooh-lala) by 'Amanda Blank' called Might Like You Better. it's alright, little too mainstream for me...I like the re-mixes more that the original.
anyway, you're right :(
I've noticed this. I just draw what I like, and I like longer-looking faces, so they all end up looking pretty much the same. I think it;s just inexperience, I know I could still draw the faces in the same style and have them look like...they aren't all the same person.
about them looking like me...I'm definitely NOT trying to draw them like me, I don't really like how I look :(
the only one that's really close, would be Isaac (and I took his name, not the other way around...), and the only similar things would be the philtrum piercing and hair. already had the piercing like I said, they appeal to me most so I gave him one (he doesn't have any others, and my ears aren't pierced) and -I- copied -his- hairstyle.
I guess all I'm saying is, I won't argue with you that all the faces I draw look way too similar, because I completely agree, but I don't understand how they are 'extremely reminiscent' of my likeness. I don't know.
wait, I just remembered - about a year ago, I was browsing deviantArt and I found a picture that practically made my jaw drop. I just stared at it for like 30 minutes...because it resembles Isaac almost -exactly-. it's uncanny. same facial structure, same countenance, same style...only differences, Isaac's eyes are green not blue, and he's got the piercing, and his hair is a little more blonde - this guy's is closer to silver. here:
(if anyone only knew what all this means to me...I doubt anyone ever will.)
I think, though, I don't need too much practice on heads/faces at the moment, I think they look generally alright (besides the above problem), I think what I need to work on more right now is bodies, getting the proportions right. I can barely draw them at all like in that pic, ^ or if I do they look like shit. I don;t have good anatomy books, I just have one and it's okay but it doesn't have a lot of different poses...(that's what I need). I just printed a bunch of reference pics, so I'll probably work with that until I can get good books, do some practice sketches of bodies...I'd like to get that part level with faces, and then work more on those.
you know what I mean?
[my middle name should be prolix. sorry.]
