Neil deGrasse Tyson
Practicing using my template with paused video reference. Tried to do them quickly as if I was in class but they still ended up being 10-20 mins each.

Template Application
For class this week I printed out the five templates that I created in Illustrator with their mirror images on the backs, cut them out so each one was separate and maneuverable, and slid whichever seemed most appropriate under layout paper at the correct angle for each pose. This way I had a solid structure to leap off of for each drawing. My drawings of Mark from last spring here.

specific skull
It's not quite right yet but it's getting better.
Doing lots of google image and youtube searches for skull and facial muscle references. I like the accuracy goal of the facial reconstruction material. Two places I thought were neat - Elizabeth Daynes, Z brush workshop

Face Photo Studies
Studying real faces in order to strengthen the design of my general model. I'm trying to figure out what I'm looking at and how to describe it through diagraming.
I got these photos here. The diagrams are traced directly over, not freehanded.
I started out really rigid, trying to keep the lines as straight as possible
then got more organic
got too complex around the mouth area.
Started looking up lighting to better understand what it's showing me. Found the front view of Lincoln's head with frontal lighting on James Gurney's blog he has a bunch of posts on portrait lighting.
