Which artist do you think draws the most appealing and attractive faces?

If you want give bonus points for great facial expressions or divide it into a few categories (best male faces, female faces, monster faces, etc.), that's cool.

That's important to me as well.

Emotion, and not having a stock face.

Adams. Neal Adams. Draws the best everything in my opinion but faces are his forte.

Kevin Maguire. Very distinct and expressive faces. I'd put Amanda Conner and Paul Smith up there, too.

My problem with Maquire is that his faces are extremely similar. Same rounded, flattish noses and all.

But I love his work and the effort that he puts into his expressions.
