I still haven't nailed the three-quarters view. Its always the outside eye that fudges up the whole face. Any help? I mean, besides looking at pictures of people. What do you guys do when you aren't drawing from reference?

That dog is the coolest thing on the page.

I don't know what to tell you about your problem. As you know I suck

Damn.. the dog IS good! Shit, all I tend to draw are 3/4 views (but I started really liking the "Alex Ross angle" this year) and all I can say is "practice". ;onei;

Something you might keep in mind is that the bridge of the nose will take up some of that space on the outside half of the face (in more extreme angles), so the eye width will be smaller on the plane of the face (but the eye is a ball, so it won't look small since it bulges out). Try this link. It looks alright. http://www.sierravista.wuhsd.k12.ca....cart/faces.htm

I think my problem is that even though the eye socket is sunken in, I forget that the face is still on the front of the head.

Its going to be a rough summer not having figure drawing classes to keep me in shape. Oy.

Mike, that's a damn cool link!

I know! I just googled it up when I was replying!

And Nate- maybe now's a good time to go to the art supply store, buy a pack of Super Sculpey and make a couple of heads. You can always mush it back like Play-Doh but unlike Play-Doh, it won't get hard until you bake it. The wonders of chemical compounds!
