Who should I draw next?

I found this website that scrolls through photos giving you 60 seconds each to quickly sketch out the face. My actual 60-second sketches are pretty monstrous, but I paused it on this photo reference and then dug out the good markers. I loved this cheerful (to the point of slightly too cheerful) expression.

The first several pages of this sketchbook are now faces so I've decided that's the theme. (This is the Crescent Rendr sketchbook that works really well with alcohol markers and I have a small set of skin tone Copic markers.)

So, whose face should I draw next? So far they are all generic people, random photos I found online of non-celebrity models. Part of me now wants to tackle the challenge of trying to capture an actual likeness... but I also know that will inevitably lead to the disappointment of it not looking like the person I wanted it to look like.

Here's another candidate to post for two different drawesome prompts. I've got another skull in my other sketchbook though (post coming soon) and I can't decide which one I like better. And there's still plenty of time to make another attempt before the end of the month. (Skulls are a bit of an obsession because I never quite feel like I've got it right, but even when they come out wrong they still look kind of cool.)

And apples are just my classic "I can't think of what to draw" object.

I'm also in the process of cleaning up the tags in my old posts so that things will be a little more organized when I want to refer back to something else. (You can imagine how unhelpful it was when I was labeling everything "art" or "sketchbook 2022".)
