If you’re staring at the illustration on a phone, zoom out for a moment.
A face that seems invisible up close may suddenly become apparent when you view the entire picture.
Then zoom back in.
It’s almost like your eyes need to change gears.
Don’t Let the Obvious Faces Stop You

illustrations are designed to reward persistence.
Once you’ve found the obvious shapes, keep looking.
Ask yourself:

Is that shadow an eye?
Does that curve create a cheek or jawline?
Do two separate shapes combine to form a portrait?
You may be surprised by how many details suddenly start looking different.
