In fact, it got a lot bigger that I had any idea. It's in response to many questions I've received regarding vanishing points, the horizon line etc. So, what I've tried to do is review and re-apply several sections of Lesson 14: Shaping the Head. For me, I remember it was a real breakthrough discovering drawing "block head" shapes within a "mitre box" to learn how to capture volume in three- quarter views of the head and face. (It was my own little invention - though I've seen similar approaches in several books since...it was new to me when I thought I thought it up :-) So that's what today's ezine links to: a pretty dang big, probably over-explained rendition of how you can do this yourself. (Please feel free to call my attention to any really redundant parts in this page or to bad grammar - I've had little chance to have this proofread by anyone else.) So here's the link: http://ycdinsiders.digitalchainsaw.com/InsidersArtistLoft/flashheadspart7.htm And here's the link to the accompanying "Flash" attachment - if it doesn't download from the page, just click on this and you can re-down load it. (It will be disabled at the on-line site shortly - so download it while you can! ( It will be included in all upcoming CD's ordered after the 15th of September.)) http://www.youcandraw.com/ycd-lesson14-xtra.exe Keep on drawing, and peace to all on this eve of 9/11 Warmly, Executive Director (952) 544-0657 1351 Hampshire Ave. So., #127 St. Louis Park, MN 55426 http://www.YouCanDraw.com "Once and for all getting you drawing faces and caricatures" mailto:comments@youcandraw.com
