LESSON NOTES

Michael Hampton shows how to tweak head construction to fit different character types, focusing on male and female differences. For female characters, he suggests using softer curves, a less defined bone structure, and more delicate features. He recommends keeping the forehead more vertical, the jawline less sharp, and the brow ridge subtle. For male characters, he emphasizes stronger angles, a wider jaw, a more prominent brow ridge, and a slanted forehead. By adjusting proportions and planes, Hampton demonstrates how to achieve these traits while sticking to the basics of head construction.

I'll demonstrate how to modify head construction for different character types, focusing on male vs. female differences. For females, use softer curves, less prominent bone structure, and understated features. Keep the forehead more vertical, jaw angle less pronounced, and brow ridge subtle. For males, emphasize angular features, broader jaw, more prominent brow ridge, and reclined forehead angle. Adjust proportions and planes to achieve desired character traits while maintaining basic construction principles.

Drawing along with Michael to help build my skills especially drawing the facial features. Doing this helps me sink the skills in. Still a work in progress to get my confidence higher before I do the final project.
