I see faces...

I can't help but look at people.  I don't know if it's because I'm a visual person or if I just stare too much.  When I'm speaking to someone, I don't just make eye-contact, I make face-contact.  I notice everything.  Be warned:  If you have a "bat in the cave", I'll notice.  

I'll say this though, it helps considerably with my cartooning.  I use my mental "people file" to invent faces.  A strong chin, bulbous nose or high forehead can really come in handy when creating faces from scratch...

I know the bald guy looks like Uncle Fester so save it.
