Lesson 1 [Head Construction] - part 3

The $100,000 Animation Drawing Course - Lesson 1, part 3

The Horizontal Egg Face

Notes:

  • I'm drawing the images in a larger size now which allows me to better "feel" and correct any minor differences in curve and angle. The downside is that it really minimizes the discrepancy that you see on the scanned images since they're reduced in size.
  • I'm still learning how to use Photoshop so some of the overlays are a little clunky.
  • I'm still learning the finer points of Blogger so some of my layouts are lacking in flow.
  • Already I'm noticing a change in how my hand relates to the pencil and the paper. However, there is still a long, long way to go.
  • I'm finally through with the First Page of Lesson One. This is going to take a while.

Incidental findings:
  • Toddlers find eggs with cartoon faces drawn on them absolutely irresistible!
