We already have the external
shape. Funny, isn't it? It's very important to observe people in the street,
in cafes, on trains, anywhere. And to think "What external shape
has this got?" We all fit in some of them.

Lucy is not a woman like
the ones we know. This is so, because she lived more than three million
years ago. She a primitive woman.
Therefore, her brain is
small. She has strong, bushy eyrebrows. They are powerful, up there.
She looks as if she had only one, actually!
Her eyes are also very
big and open. Very expressive. She is a very curious woman, and she
likes learning from everything. Besides, there are many dangers in her
life, and she must be attentive to any tiny detail.
Her nose, of course, is
wide and thick, over an open mouth, full of huge teeth. She has a happy
look, because she has probably found the male she likes.
Two big hair ears are
on both sides of a hairy face. Hair covers all her face, from top to
bottoms.

Tom is a man of science.
He spends his days in his lab, although sometimes he has to go out, for
some paleontological research. His job consists of studying the fossil
remains of primitive humans. And today he is working with Lucy's remains.
He has got a bog skull,
because he is a homo sapiens. His eyebrows, short and thins, show surprise.
Below them two open expressive eyes, show he is enjoying his work. His
sight is tired because of so much computer screens, and so much reading.
That's why he is wearing glasses. They are very small and round, very
discreet.
His glasses lay on a long
thin pointed nose. if we go down, we will see his face, small, clsed,
but with a slight smile. Around it, a tiny moustache, and a very subtile
goatee.
Tom is a bit absent-minded,
and he leaves home fery often wihtout combing his hair. Today his short
straight hair is a bit messy. He is very distracted, more worried for
his discoveries than for his aspect.
Tom is thoughtful. His mind
cannot help thinking of what Lucy's life could have been like. He would
love to have met her.

a working place...one life.
- Whe you go to a restaurant,
a museum, a trip on a plane, etc. take your sketch book with you. Observe
people going back and forth. And then trap their faces, their features.
Draw them.
