Project - Facial Features

184

The assignment for this project is divided into two parts:

  1. Development Drawings:

    • Develop five heads based on your prior drawings that you are satisfied with.
    • Concentrate on the features and details such as the tilt of the eye, the shape of the nose, and the form of the lips. Use these drawings to explore and refine the facial features.
  2. New Drawings:

    • Create five brand new head drawings from scratch.
    • Work through the entire workflow from the initial sketch to detailing the soft tissue forms around the features like the lips.

This approach allows you to refine your skills both by developing existing works and by creating new ones, focusing on detailed facial features.

I feel my 3D forms and perspective could be stronger.

this is what I had time for this week to do. I wanted to ask about the face in the upper right in particular, I had to draw that twice and still don't think I got it right. it might be the camera angle or something but it feels off in terms of structure.

Hello, Mr. Hampton. Since I attended a conference in the last days, I cannot finish my assignments before the deadline. Anyway I still keep practicing and your 11-step method is very efficient. The draft of the right one was finished when I was in the airplane. Based on your bonus lessons, I also tried to add shadows. Thank you again for this amazing course, which gradually realizes my dream.

Hello, I just came back from holidays and I managed to do only these 5. I hope it's enough to be able to receive critique.

Aloha! Fun assignment. I wasn't sure how much bone and fat to show. I tried to gauge it with age and gender but I'm unsure if I got the mix correct.

Thanks for the assignments! They were very challenging and fun to do!
@rupertdddd
I found this project extremely challenging. There are a lot of grey areas where I’m unsure if I’m drawing the lines correctly.

Found this difficult. Especially nose structure, and also the proportions would drift through the drawing process. I reckon this construction method is beginning to sink in though.

I enjoyed this assignment. I can feel my drawings getting better and better each time. I’m sure I batted out of my league in some of them but I’m looking forward to getting the feedback and follow along to the other people’s work.

Awesome work, Michael!

Challenging, but fun!! I'm happy with my progress from the course and am excited to dive deeper into the anatomy of the face and beyond. I haven't began learning about light and color yet and am thinking about taking a digital painting course soon. There are few great options provided on Proko and I'm leaning toward Jeremy Vickery's course. Any suggestions from anyone in the chat??
Michael Glaberman
Looks great Jon. I’m thinking on doing the digital painting as well.
Martin Vrkljan
Vickery's courses are really good!

Submitting my 5 old and 5 new. This was challenging, and boy do things get turned to 11 once facial features construction starts. I'm not as happy with these as I'd like, but I'm definitely doing more and better than I ever did with faces, so I'm seeing improvement. Weak points seem to be perspective and proper placement/proportion of the features. Getting likeness is not easy! I'll be practicing more with these, hopefully the issues get ironed out with repetition. I tried doing some shading with a face I was happiest with, and having a construction underlaid makes it so fun and easy! Not the best shading, but it was very fun to do. Looking forward to the critiques.

Beautiful work, Martin! 🙌

Have to get these in before my long unplugged vacation, so light was a little bad. The numbers associated with the ref sheet should be on each drawing. putting this together at this stage for me fee like trying to juggle 5 flaming chainsaws after I JUST start to juggle three tennis ball without dropping them. Can't wait for the critique :)
