Cookie-Cutter Faces

Cookie cutter faces.

I don't care if you draw people, horses, dogs, penguins

Cookie cutter faces will SERIOUSLY limit your art ability if you don't find a way to get out of it!

I had CCF syndrome for 500 years

nah just 13 years (been drawing since i was old enough to hold a pencil, ie 2 years old. Got out of CCF syndrome two years ago.) 

You know the drill.

Awesome, beautiful art and characters

And every one of them has the same face. the only difference is mares/girls/women have long eyelashes. 

This doesn't just happen to young artists wither; I've seen very experienced ones have this problem.

Whatever you're drawing, if it has a face, it has to be unique. Period. You never see two people, dogs, or pengiuins with the exact same face.

For example, look at these two Appaloosas; My Orion and Crazy-Sparkles-Stock's Arian:

If you study any type of face long enough (STUDY being the key word, art skill doesn't come by magic) you will notice every one is different.

Experiment!
