We've continued with the skull this week, but focused more on individual facial features. We started with the eyes and nose, and it went pretty well, but all of the planes on the features were very small to capture, so drawing bigger was a challenge. The landmarks and guidelines to help you position the features were very helpful. For instance, the outside edges of the nose line up with the inner corners of the eye, as if there was an invisible line there. The eye has also many small planes that can really complete the eye- such as the small top plane of the lower eye-lid. This usually is highlighted because of the wetness of the eye, and makes it come to life quite effortlessly. It was difficult to position the iris inside the eyeball itself, because the upper eyelid actually covers most of the eye. Its tempting to want to draw the pupil as if fully seen, but you quickly realize that it doesn't look quite right...more like a deer headlights. We did not draw from the regular models, instead we drew each other, so that was a different experience...I can appreciate what the models go through when remaining still, its not easy to be motionless for so long and hold a pose...oofta.
