Head Drawing - "Your job is to satisfy the illusion of touch"

This is my Saturday Night Head Drawing. I am frustrated because I can't find the time to practice. My Communication Sketch class seems to take all my time.

This is Glen's correction on my drawing.

Glenn's Lecture:

- look for places to check your math

- hone the design and hone the design and then it's done

- there is the half one going to the dark and the half tone going to the light

- think about light gray and dark gray

- Fill in darks so light puzzles are the star

- Get the big poster established to see what's working and give attention

- Look for rhythms and parrallels to help you design it

- Get your tone under control so you can see where you want to spend your time

- Get your paint (the charcoal) under control

- Watch out for getting to black

- If you are not sure about an area - knock it down

- Look for the crappy xerox

- Think about construction and paint

- Think 1) Sculptural 2) Paint - 2D/Light Dark

- Figure out your weaknesses and work on them

- Watch your drawing and figure out what's going on

- Copy Loomis

- Figure out what it looks like

- 1st figure out where to put everything

- Do a great underpainting by filling in your light and darks and keep it simple

- Don't punch black in nostrils
