DRAWING FACIAL FEATURES WITH THE AID OF A MIRROR.
When drawing distorted features you will observe that your own face assumes similar contortions. Like the tailor, when cutting a piece of cloth. He brings his jaws together in unison with every snip of his shears. You will find it much easier to depict an expression by using a small mirror, thus copying the necessary lines from your own countenance.
Beginners are apt to put superfluous lines into a face, and when the drawing is reduced these lines are brought closer together. The result is a botchy confusion of lines and the expression destroyed. Work up your faces with as few lines as possible, as the expression of the face has much to do with the success of a comic picture.
