Susan was doing a drawing challenge of sketching 29 faces and was using magazine photos to copy and found that when she just used a sharpie without shading and colour, the men's faces were much more interesting. She concluded: "The conclusion I arrived at was that men get their pictures in popular magazines by virtue of their accomplishments. Women get their pictures in popular magazines because they meet the popular standards for beauty. Which means they all look similar, particularly when drawn in black and white, without hair, eye, and lipstick colour to differentiate them. I found this made me sad."
Yes, very sad but true.
