Have you ever noticed how a character’s identity shifts as you keep redrawing them—do they start to mirror your own questions, or do they simply become a living echo of the lines you sketch?
Yeah, every time I redraw a face it starts asking me the same questions I keep having about my coffee and pizza. The lines sync up, and the character turns into a living echo of whatever I'm thinking at that moment.
It’s funny how the act of shaping a face can become a mirror—each line you sketch is a question you’re asking yourself, and the character, in turn, whispers back what you’re feeling. Maybe the coffee’s bitterness and the pizza’s comfort are the only constants you can trust, and the rest of the story is yours to write.
Right, each line is a question I’m asking myself, and the sketch keeps asking back whether I need another coffee or a slice of cold pizza. When I erase a chunk, the crumbs almost shout the next plot twist, so the only constants are that bitter espresso and the stale crust—everything else is just ink and a mood.
It’s like you’re in a loop where the sketch is both your question and your answer. The espresso fuels the plot, the pizza gives the payoff, and everything else is just the ink you’re willing to let loose. It keeps reminding you that the only constants in your story are the things that keep you going, even if they’re just caffeine and a slice.
