happy mistakes

i love these 3 worried men! 

the best is that they happened from a mistake. 

i had been drawing men with charcoal

 (in fact if you look carefully you might still see the eyes lower on the cheeks of the one above)

but i didn't like them. 

so i wiped what i could off and started drawing eyes for a girl i had in mind

and then the eyes somehow look so perfectly imperfect on this strange man's face

that i decided to go with it. 

i wiped, tweaked and drew until these 3 little guys appeared. 

aren't they just too cute? 

i just want to hug them and tell them all will be well. 

i love how making mistakes can show me a whole new way. 

these guys are busy influencing more of my work right now!
