Rumour of Humour 4
or: The Simple Geometry of Endearments.

This, a half-year later, was the second and only follow up to the previous drawing.
It is also with mechanical pen on a Japanese printing paper, but this time it’s a male head, not a personality study, but focuses on those parts of the face involved in the sensational act of producing brilliant, flute-like, bird-like, sun lit tones.
