I continue to work on the Asaro Planes of the Head and site sizing.
Once I scan the image in I can really see the mistakes I've made.
(It's there for all the world to see.)
I need to work on my line which I'm trying to hide as I go.
I have not really got the handle on using the newsprint and the charcol so I've decided to go to charcol paper to see if
that works any better... we'll find out.

This is the current Asaro Head that I'm working on. As you can see it's still in the cartoon phase.

more Asaro Head Drawings

I continue to use the John Asaro Planes of the Head sculpture that I own. I site sized this on news print but as you can see, parts of the nose need work. I'm doing another version as I write this.

I like to do Panarama pictures for the depth of the look and feel of the frame. The frame is key to any good movie and every element plays a role.

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.
