Let's breakdown how squinting can be used in different ways! In this lesson we're covering how to use it to find shapes.

I inadvertently combined shapes and values in my first attempt. However, now after watching the values video, I realized that after squinting, I need to make my darks darker and further distinguish between the lightest light of her hair and the rest of her face. Working on that now.

Just realised that I didnt do the right thing in the squint shapes exercise and hve mixed shapes with values.

Slow down and just try to tackle one part at a time in using smaller shapes to build your larger ones. A good attempt here but you need to be better at separating light shapes from the dark.

I found this very difficult. I’ll practice this often.

Morgan, so thankful for this course! Okay, while squinting and looking for shapes, do I need to just look at the model as a whole, or, do I need to look at the particular area of the face I'm looking to design shapes for? It might seem obvious that the answer is the latter, but I know I can tend to still focus on detail even while squinting. So, I've always been uncertain as to whether it's still best to just look at the model as a whole and sort of use my peripheral vision (while squinting) to design shapes for, let's say, one of the eye sockets, versus squinting and looking at the eye socket I'm working on. Hope that makes sense, thank you!
Morgan Weistling
both. But most of the time you should be looking for smaller areas to simplify to help you build up to to a more accurate overall shape.
