In week six, Judy Fox focuses on feature refinement by using under-view photos and deliberate angle changes to expose proportion and placement errors. You will learn how to keep the outline true to the model while refining brow structure, eye volumes and lids, cheekbone flow, lips, and chin as connected forms rather than isolated details. Judy also demonstrates a simplified approach to the ear that prioritizes its major turns in space and its relationship to the head. The lesson concludes with practical guidance on photo accuracy, including parallax and orientation, so your corrections stay grounded in what you actually see.
