"How to Draw the Vice President." Or, "He Hasn't Got Bette Davis Eyes."

Trump's rheumy eyes. They're so squinty and bunched up they are barely visible. They give him a most inhuman appearance. I know he can't help how he looks but goodness you sometimes think these people get the faces they deserve. It's like The Picture of Dorian Gray in reverse –– all the awful things they do are visited "in real time" on their physogs.

Kellyanne Conway (who?) looks like she spent fifteen years in THE PIT OF HELL fighting a demon.

Bannon looks like he has scabies and the Black Death not to mention a vitamin deficiency. 

Sean Spicer looks like a Dick Tracy villain. 

Here is how to go about drawing MIKE PENCE. 

Trump and Spicer and Mike Pence all have eyes that are sort of hooded by being downturned at their outside edges. They're like fleshy blinkers, or exterior cataracts. Maybe this is why their politics are the way they are! They have awful right wing tunnel vision. 

"Bad (sick) guys!"

If you want to draw them they all have the same odd shortcoming that makes them look sad and slightly insane. Like the stereotypical image of the crazy person in maximum denial of the common facts of reality. Like people on the verge of tears because they are so happy and autistically deluded:


Their faces are grinning so manically that they are "literally" squeezing their own eyeballs out using their cheek muscles!

From this useful starting point you can draw most of the Trump Oval Office. Not that handsome bastard Kushner –– for him you'll have to look at my article "How to Draw Malkmus" and then affix a Mike Pence haircut to Malkmus's head. But you can drawn Old Krump himself:



And you can draw Sean Spicer. Also: they all also have a notable underbite. Were they chosen for office for this reason? Is there a form of weird anti-eugenics afoot? 

I chose to forge ahead and draw Mike Pence from this basis but you can draw anyone –– as long as they have outwardly turned eyes:


Now doesn't my effort look just like old Mike "Wouldn't Give One" Pence?

Now as a bonus here's a picture I accidentally took of our living room rug:
