Finally, I'm working on it ... July 15, 2007

Finally, I got off my butt and starting working on my cast. I've worked the light and dark in with out much concern for detail since there is so much of it... sometimes detail will take away from the drawing so I just let it rip and got my darkest darks and lightest lights in.

Get the right cast

Working with the right cast in the beginning is crucial. I discovered that the more simplistic the cast such as this nose is much better than the complicated on I've done earlier. ( Since this nose is not mine but the school's I'm left trying to get a new more simpler cast. ) I do have the Asaro head that is also simplistic and does make use of plans of the head which is very important for lighting and modeling.

This was a drawing of my instructor when I did site size.
I did this in pencil after a 2 hour sitting and everything
was sized according to careful measure and it
does look like him.
