CAE - Facial Features and Their Anatomy (Lesson)

Facial Features and Their Anatomy

Expressive painters have to understand the anatomy and structure of the face before they utilize or alter proportions or symmetry to create meaning in their portraits. We will do a little reviews of facial features from Drawing 1, and then you will create a proportional eye, nose, and mouth in graphite in your journal.

Please watch the presentation below to better understand the anatomy and structure of the face. Be sure your volume is turned on!
