| Michael Whynot. A head in profile, 2013. Red chalk. |
It's been nearly a month since my last post. I took a bit of a vacation and I have been trying to catch up on some much-needed yard work.
I spent an hour, this morning, studying the head in profile; the opportunity to show depth and volume being limited in this point of view. Try to distinguish, with tone or hatching, the side plane of the nose in contrast to the front plane of the cheek bone. The trapezius also conveys a sense of depth as it fits into the cylinder of the neck. The eye, nestled properly into its socket, and the hint of a cast shadow beneath the ear lobe also help. Not my favorite point of view.
