I was experimenting with a new style of portraiture, vamping
up the old continuous line by not actually looking at the subject! Yep, that
right, I created these visual masterpieces by ‘touching’ the face. Before you
think anything, it’s not as weird as it sounds. Imagine being blind, and
relying on your sense of touch. It was interesting to see how what was felt was
relayed to the paper; the relationship between different sensory organs. The results
always seemed to look like caricatures, but it was curious to see what features were exaggerated and the ones where it was still obvious as to what they were.
