Base head design notes

Published:

Description

The more I design, the more I realize the importance of keeping things more simple and graphic.  Don't worry about
small shapes like eyes, mouth, teeth, little details in general.  Solve the bigger problems.  What's the overall shape?  Are the
proportions sound?  How can  I simplify the shapes?  Etc..  Notice on these I have not drawn in eyes or the mouth.  Interior detail
wise I spend most of my time looking for the person's, simplified socket, nose and muzzle shape.  I want to keep things clear and really simple.
If I don't have likeness at this point, and likeness is the goal, rendering eyes and lips will be a waste of time.

So simple, yet so incredibly profound. I wish all art classes started with this little bit of advice.
