Hi Elizabeth,
I’m so glad you’re working on the skull. I want to bring your attention to a few things. I like how you’re drawing the frontal bone and figuring out where all of those fundamental planes are. The trick is to keep your values a little more organized. Firstly, all of your shadows need to be within a more unified range, regardless of all you see in there. That then allows you to have a broader range in the lights. I think you’re modeling all the planes well, or rather, you’re differentiating between them well, but the values themselves, in the entire skull, are very similar. Some shadows are the exact values of your half-tones and many half-tones that repeat. This makes the structure considerably harder to read. But the placement is mostly all there, and the separation of light and shadow and the planes is as well; it’s the values that need to be organized a bit better. This isn’t easy, especially when you’re in the weeds with all of the anatomy, form, etc. I understand that. But from the point where you are now, this shouldn’t be too hard and will improve the work. Just a quick addition, make sure the axis of the chin aligns with the teeth, brow, etc.
Good luck, and I’ll be checking in! Keep up the great work.
IliyaThanks iliya
I found it quite hard to tell where the terminator lines was at times on the skull photo. Couldn’t decide whether it was meant to be half tones or part of the shadows. I plan on doing quite a few more. But it helps to know that I should be organising shadows and light where they theoretically are rather than where I actually see them all the time.
