including the relatively unusual creases running out-ward from the nostrils. When the other side ot the face was completed the head looked as in Fig. 133.1 felt this had a rather wistful look about it, not really the feeling I wanted. The raised eyebrow on one side was taken from the bald, bearded man in Fig. 111, and this contributed to the wrong look. I theretore took morÄ™ details from the old man in Fig. 111, deepening the creases under the eyes and slightly accentuating the forehead furrows. Still not satisfied, I then referred to the smiling face in Figs 59 and 60 and added morÄ™ deep creases at the corners ot the eyes, rounded the cheeks morÄ™ and deepened the lines from nose to chin. I also madÄ™ a slight opening in the mouth. If I could have opened the lips morÄ™ as in Fig. 59,1 would have done so, as I feel this is the root of the problem. A person who smiles with their lips firmly sealed never appears to be really letting go. However, the end result, Fig. 134, is satisfactory.
