Facial Anatomy: Portraiture
The following three pieces were produced on plain white A3 paper with Charcoal.
The pieces above correctly present proportions on the face with minor issues present such as the the left eye on the first piece. (More explained at the end)
The mark making used on the pieces is subtly applied throughout all three pieces, where hair is concerned the lines are not all in one direction and this allows us to see the shape of it.
Shadow and light has been used and this creates form and depth throughout the three pieces, the fact that gradients are used for the lighting on the face makes the skin look soft as well, meaning materials have been considered.
Highlights have been used and this creates a chiaroscuro effect on the pieces especially down the nose of the second piece.
Constructively there is a lot of contrast which is good however the first piece doesn't appear to have as much and this presents it to be flatter than the other two pieces, perspective on the second piece appears to need attention as the contours to the left of his face make the cheeks bones appear larger than they would be in real life, this also makes the head look flat rather than round.
Finally the third piece needs some work on proportion as the nose appears to small, it would be positive to make the face longer in order to accommodate lengthening the nose.
