Shapes

Had in mind Figure I from Harold Speed's The Practice and Science of Drawing, and the negative shapes section of Betty Edwards' Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain.

Revised Head General Model

I moved the eyes farther apart and made the iris and pupil smaller after looking at the facial composites below.  Based on the profile studies in the previous post, I also moved them forward.

Note Heads

From internet photos.   I started doing them because I was struggling with the shape of the side plane on my general model and wanted to see how it's different on different people.

This was a lot easier than any previous attempt to draw people from photos, I can imagine the structure much more clearly.   I'm looking froward to getting back in a class with a model in the fall.
