Hello @Andrew Joseph Keith, I really enjoy your video, even though these are not sculptures however, These are tracings of people and sculptures with those fat pads. Keep in mind these were based of a different course that I was only focusing on the visible fat pads in the photos. What could I do better next time.
Andrew Joseph Keith
Hey nicely done great exercise! I think I break up the fat pads a little differently that what I'm seeing in these drawings but the fat pads do vary quite a bit from person to person and simplifying them into generalizations can be done in many ways. You might try adding them onto a skull with clay for this exercise. Keep it up!

What is a cheek!? I mean...really! How far back from the bridge of the nose are the eyes in profile? Nobody gives you a measurement for that. And for that matter what's up with that band of flesh near the bridge of the nose? How sloped is the female forehead? These details drive me bonkers.

Dear Andrew I am making a portrait. I want to use all the skills you taught me. In other words, I want to put muscles, fat, neck, ears, eyes, mouth, hair, etc. on the skull I made before. I will definitely send photos of the progress of my work. I will be happy if you guide me. Thank You.
