10 March 2001 ***************************************************** YouCanDraw.com's Insider Communiqué ***************************************************** In depth Study: Hugh Hefner In today's issue: A link to the latest, the greatest, thee most hippest...ok, ok, I'll cut the hype. I'm just feeling good because I got the next in-depth caricature analysis done - and almost a week ahead of schedule. You'll see a 6 new web pages with over 100 new illustrations with lots of text, interlinked to other parts of the web book and to the web (though I didn't get the subject's web pictures linked (doe! ). Those will be uploaded in the next week. Now grab your hats because those six web pages print out at about 60 pages. Yep, that's right. It's pretty thorough - I think so anyway. The pictures are of pretty good size - I'm not as worried about picture sizes anymore because you can now buy the whole book on CD-ROM - if your subscription is nearing it's end or expired, you'll be receiving an email soon for a chance to buy the e-Sourcebook and another year's worth of funny bit maps and weekly drawing education - and at discount too. So keep your eye's peeled! So what's in all them pages? I lifted this right off the summary page of the "Case Study Masterlink Page" - it'll explain pretty well the whole thing, and I quote: "In this lesson you'll be working your way through a front view analysis using Hugh Hefner as our subject. You'll review the five main evaluation techniques you saw in Case Study # 1. (You know, Keith Richards ). Prints out at about 60 - yes, I said sixty - pages. Lots of pictures." Review: The five evaluation techniques as I see them In the first part of this book - lessons one through nine (the foundation lessons), you were exposed to the five skills of drawing. In the second main section of the book you applied and rehearsed those five skills by learning to draw the different features of the face and the shapes of the head. In this, the third section, I want you to get practice at using five more techniques of observation peculiar to looking at faces. The five main evaluation techniques are each concerned with different and relevant observational guides and all incorporate and build on the five foundation skills of drawing. And just what the heck are those five "guide" techniques and how will you use them? Here's how: · In Part I you'll be looking at Mr. Hefner and evaluating the overall shape of the face and head as well as the gut sense you get about the personality of the person; and you'll analyze our subject in relation to the horizontal guidelines of Mr. Average; you'll also find links to some good pictures of Mr. Hefner available for your study on the web; · Next, in Part II you'll evaluate Mr. Hefner in relation to the vertical guidelines of Mr. Average; · Then In Part III you'll walk through an evaluation of each feature - even a few of the main lines and wrinkles of the face - and relate those to Mr. Average; you'll have your first exposure to the deeper anatomy of the face - starting with the superficial musculature just under the skin; you'll see briefly how the lines and contours of the face are caused by the action of muscles and masses (look carefully: the links to the anatomic illustrations are buried in the text); · In Part IV you'll experiment with visualizing the largely two-dimensional front view of Mr. Hefner in terms of the "Mr. Blockhead" model. Mr. Blockhead is a tool used to develop a sense of depth reducing the face to, and focusing on, the four main masses of the face: the forehead, the maxilla, the cheekbones and the lower jaw. Then in this same section, you'll walk through a step by step exaggeration of our exaggeration. So have at it and enjoy!" End quote.
