I want to draw a face.

Michael Hoag

I want to draw a face.
I want to start with the far eye
And add lines above and below
As many lines as fingers.
I want to outline the nose
And angle the pencil parallel to the paper
seeing the nose always caves.
I want to isolate the lips
And make them curl
As parallel lines are a cheat
I want to have the far eye stare down and in
While the near eye stares up and out.
I want to circle circle circle the ears
being ears swirl.
I want to enclose everything in one unbroken line
Since lines demarcate.
And I want to make the neck easy
And as strong as celery.
