William Haines








William Haines was an actor from the silent movie era.  He has a classic, handsome if slightly uncomplicated look but the portrait has an interesting feature with the narrow strip of light along the edge of the forehead, nose, and chin.  It makes his face stand out from the background.  Doing profiles challenges us to use our developing drawing skills because simple measurement doesn't help completely in doing things like the profile of the nose.
