How do you draw a doubtful owl? Hmmm…
Luckily sleight of hand comes to the rescue when you’re drawing facial expressions. (Or rather, sleight of finger in this iPhone drawing.)
Facial expressions are always a mixture of unconscious and deliberate grimaces. On paper (or as in this case the iphone screen) the artist, caricaturist or cartoonist has a further repertoire of gestures at his disposal.
All kinds of marks can symbolise states of mind.
This iPhone finger painting was made with an app that’s new to me, LiveSketch. I added a few touches in the old favourite app, Brushes, and increased the contrast in PhotoFX.

My favourite owl, too ! I have an aunt that collects them, and I’m sure she should adore it as a printed version ! I just HAVE to show it to her
I’m so pleased you like it, Cedric! Please do print it for your aunt with my compliments.
This is without hesitation my favorite owl ever. (I collected unusual owls early in my adult life. They were symbols of my college sorority.) And this is one I’d not even ask the price of… I love it!
And I applaud this statement: Facial expressions are always a mixture of unconscious and deliberate grimaces.
I’m saving it — and this post address — as a reference.
