After learning where different features go on face, we drew over a tracing paper to see how the pictures land up with the actual bone structure of our face. This was good di see where the eyes fit and how the eyebrows were above the eye socket. It was very weird to try and draw where the lips were to be with seeing whole teeth structure.
Lips were the easiest of the featutes. It requires a little less steps than the others. What was hard was getting the texture of the lips without overblending them. Also the cupids bow was hard to do without it looking like a mustache.
Drawing noses was very much a struggle. It’s mostly all shading, but it’s so easy to get the shading wrong and make the whole nose look off. I have to work on blending and smoother transitions when I shade to make the noses look better.
I really liked learning how to draw eyes because eyes are so expressive. It was nice to learn the specific techniques that can be applied to any eye. I would love to do a close up of an iris is color to capture all the different shades in one eye.
