i don’t know if it’s to do with the limitation to monochrome or just the styles of the time but actors of this era had some really awesome faces. John K always goes on about kirk douglas (amazingly sent up by dave stoten with audio from frank gorshin here), and I’ve also seen it mentioned Kurosawa had a real knack for picking superb mugs.
trying to think of the great countenances of today… Willem Dafoe’s pretty good. i might draw him tomorrow.
