Musharraf

Some say that drawing from memory is good for your brain and stimulates your prefrontal cortex or some shit like that. So, today, I drew Pervez Musharraf, who resigned as president of Pakistan this week. I’m rather surprised they were able to force him out. After Benazir Bhutto was assassinated, I assumed that his power was consolidated. The power of the people seems to have prevailed, however. I guess the system sometimes works over there!

Actual Musharraf.

I remember his mustache being really thick and never seeing him in a non-military outfit, but that could just be my brain caricaturizing him before storing him. It’s not unlike the way you might cut up meat before freezing for the purpose of easier defrosting.

Also, I notice that I generally draw people’s shoulders overhunched.
