I prefer studying the faces who pass through my Target check lane. Once in a while I see one of my characters, or a face begging to become one of my characters, and I get excited. Models on TV and in catalogs seem only two-dimensional. Truthfully, I don't much like to use pretty characters, unless I need a pretty face to make it work.
