So you can see that the mouth is a little long and the jawline sticks out a little too far to the right, but it's still pretty good. Using the 1/4 lines as well as the 1/2 lines go a long way in furthering the accuracy, but it only works as well as how the lines were drawn.
Class is cancelled on Wednesday, I am definitely sick. No covid, just crap that my kids brought back from kindergarten because kids are disgusting.
Assignment for Wednesday any time until 11:59 pm
Upload on THIS THREAD a photo of your face or the face of someone else, but it has to be one that you took (or directed/designed the look of). Make the face convey SOME kind of emotion/attitude, especially if you can incorporate angle/tilt.
Your whole head must be visible, so we can put it in a window, with the furthest top, bottom, left, right points clearly visible. If you can edit the photo in photoshop or some other app so it's JUST your head, that would be ideal.
Glasses and facial hair will make drawing it a little harder, but not impossible, glasses because they're such an awkward shape, and facial hair because sometimes it's hard to estbalish edges (like the hairline).
For MONDAY, Feb 6, Noon. Draw the face using the grid.
Remember, draw it as accurately as possible! No flattery or idealzation, that's not what this is about.
1. Draw the potato first, just getting the silhouette as right as possible.
2. Cut some broad shapes out, macro shapes like the nose, brow, cheeks, not the eyes and nostrils yet.
3. Once that looks right, do indications of where the details would go. Shapes of the eyes, lips, nostrils, jewely etc. Don't do the actual details yet.
At this point, nothing should be so precious that you wouldn't think to erase it and redo it because it's not right.
4. Window, split it in half vertically and horizontally, on both reference and drawing.
5. Make adjustments.
6. Split the half lines in half again, so you have a 4x4 grid
7. Make adjustments again.
8. Add details.
We're still VERY much in the wax on wax off stage, learning the STRICT rules before we break them. Let me know via email if you have ANY questions.
