Trump's Face

November 9, 2016 David Galletly

It's the 9th of November 2016 and Donald Trump is set to be president of the USA. That's stupid.

I started trying to scribble his face while reading Twitter this morning. I figure it's worth figuring out my Trump in case I ever need to draw him for work. My first attempts (above) aren't great but they really hammered home one thing - Trump's face is gross as shit.

He's harder to pin down than I thought, mostly because his hair is such a scene-stealer that I never paid much attention to his other features. He's got these lizardy little rat eyes and plump wee lips. His collar pulls on his fat neck and makes his whole face look like a deflating balloon. His chin, his ears and his nose are disgusting.

If you're drawing Trump, make him look repellant. He is repellant. He's clammy plasticine. Reducing him to a cartoon haircut is too nice.
