Profile Study

Hi! 
I've been fascinated by people's profiles for a long while now-sometimes when I'm in class I just find myself staring at people studying how their profile shaped-for example there are those where the forehead sticks out nearly as much as their chin, there are those whose chin is basically part of the neck so the forehead looks like it is sticking out a lot and then the reverse where there is basically a diagonal line from the back of the head until the eyes....
And I love how the profile is so different of people of different ages...
and I simply HAD to add thefacebook meme :D

PS: I went out the day before yesterday to get a permanent marker-don't you think it paid of well?! :D

My Folder...

Hi there!
So after yesterday's quick doodle-today we have a more sophisticated one :D It took me quite some time to draw this at school (free periods of course! :P-no seriously!) and I thought I would share it with you before it rubs off :)
There is a little story behind it-obviously because no, otherwise I would have not had the idea of drawing a person with a brain and patterns around him...:D
It all started with a good friend of mine writing "Gehirn" (or brain :P) on my folder...
Then a few weeks later I found a permanent marker in my hand and had nothing better to do than draw a border...
And then I was thinking what I could draw inside because obviously it doesn't make sense to draw a border around an empty space...I looked at my other friend sitting next to me and she pulled out her biology text book and the picture of the brain was found :) a few minutes later it could also be found on the back of my folder...but then I mean seriously? just a brain...not very creative-why not add a face to it?! No sooner said than done...
But then I felt that when you looked from far away the picture wasn't balanced-there was a lot in the bottom middle and nothing at the top, specially not the top right...yes-the hair came next...:D
And then-the patterns in the end were simply an act of boredom :D They took the longest and look the crookedest but I guess that's the price you pay when you don't use a ruler :P
So that my friends was the story of the picture on my folder and you can interpret into it whatever you like-(we already have a few versions-add yours by writing it into a comment! :D)
Sorry about all the dirty on the picture by the way-but I actually use the folder every day so the marker rubs off quite quickly and it gets dirty :D
