last week we learned the features of the face. For me, it's probably been the most fun of the semester; faces are so expressive and unique compared to the rest of the body. I found that I had to look much harder at what I was drawing to capture it accurately--Even small mistakes can make the complete face look much different than the model.
I am glad (now!) that 'face week' followed 'skull' week. While I was drawing the skull I was skeptical that it would have any noticeable effect on how I drew the face, but knowing where bones lie under the skin helps to link the parts of the face together as a whole. The cheekbone in particular has been a major landmark that I used while drawing faces.
