When I draw I assume the facial expressions of the victim. It's impossible for me to do otherwise. Likewise, when I'm feeding a baby, I cannot keep my mouth closed as the spoon approaches the little guy's face. Normally this vicariousness works for me, but I think I put my back out drawing Mr. Ford's face!
By the way, the last 3 caricatures have been an experiment in drawing procedure. Normally I draw with the black ink first then add the gray marker for shading. Lately I have been blocking in the shading very quickly with marker first, then drawing the black lines, with a small bit of shading at the end. I think it is faster, more expressive and it is a lot more fun to draw this way.
