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

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.
