I have done and redone this several times. I either had the cheeks/forehead look flat or the eye look flat. Whenever I added material to one, the other one looked way too flat.
This is the best attempt in a lot of hours. I have huge problems around the eye and making the eye look 3d. I think I can't judge depth well enough. Any tips to help with that? Where am I making big mistakes?
Pretty happy with the side profile overall, but front feels iffy. Think I extended too far out under the eyes, and eye shape and nose are bit off.
I definitely found it tricky to focus on a 'square' of the face, seemed somehow like proportions were harder to gauge.
Although chipping away at this in work lunch breaks meant I could move it forward, I think it would have benefited from sitting down and properly commiting to it for longer sessions.
Looking great! really well done! yes isolating an area of the face can be a bit tricky but its a great exercise and this one is looking really good. Keep going!
Andrew, in my study of classical \contempory art I see my type of modelling eyes in sculpture. Is good, see other artist ? It's only the question not critique
