In week three, instructor Glenn Vilppu will give you an introduction to the planes of the face. You will learn how to analyze the model’s features and break them into planes; this enables you to achieve accurate likeness, light and shadow, and a greater understanding of facial structure. Then, Glenn will show you how to employ rendering techniques to describe the underlying structures.

Throughout this course, you’ll have access to the NMA community for feedback and critiques to improve your work as you progress.
