In Tony’s lesson today he started us off on heads. He showed us the basics and told us that we needed to just get a simple model sketch up first before drawing the actual head.
I started with a cross and started developing facial features from it. I got roughly where everything would go from the eyes, eyebrows, where the ears start, the nose , the mouth, the jawlines and the chin etc. From there I can go on to sketching the proper face and being able to draw the proper features not just a starting sketch. Here is the starting sketch.
From here Tony got us to draw a 3/4 sketch so the head was more 3-D. There was a couple of difficulties, those being the position of everything on the head from the eye position the nose position etc. However with help from Tony I managed to get the jawline in place from the ear position and from there it was quite easy to locate where everything goes. For the 3/4 drawing however I used a template to trace around to get things into position. This is what it looks like. A brief sketch and just roughly getting things into place so I can then sketch it all without having a load of lines and everything will be perfect instead of the lips being too far down etc.
Tony then got us to draw a bunch of random shapes from squares to circles to some sort of spiky circle. From here he asked us to draw 3/4 faces. Some of these faces look ok but some need work. I started off with the shape I drew then I drew a center line located the eyes, ears, nose etc. Some have 1 eye some don’t have a nose. I tried to create the most random things that I could possibly think of and this is how they turned out.
