The yearbook principle is one of those essential ideas to understanding how to get a good likeness.
Your assignment for this lesson is to pull out your yearbook and just try to observe what I'm talking about.
What part of someone's likeness can you get rid of while still having the image look like them?
Very Interesting perspective. I lost my yearbook long ago, but I get the concept. In retrospect, I realized that while doing the mirroring lesson, I had thought almost unconciously that the shapes of lights and darks were similar to a lots of different heads I had seen over the years in a neoclassical art. The light showed the forms tended to be broad and simplififed. It gave all the heads a family resemblance.
I really liked how you explained this. I've always had a problem getting a likeness. This gives me a different way to think about it.
