Proportions to the Human Face

When creating a drawing of the man face, an artist volition use a layout grid to determine the placement of the private features. With slight variations for either extremely wide faces or very narrow faces the caput is contained in an 8 unit high ten five unit of measurement broad rectangle.

Each unit to this rectangle is equal to the width of one center. From this bones unit each private characteristic can be place with great accuracy.

Begin this do by drawing a grid pattern that is eight inches loftier by v inches wide. Dissever the rectangle in one inch squares. For this practice drawing we volition be using a unit of one inch to equal the width of the heart of your drawing. This is create a cartoon that is very close to live size.

Mark the central vertical line of the grid. This will be the dividing bespeak for the confront from left to correct. Mark the central horizontal line of the gird, this becomes the dividing line between the forehead and the facial features area.

The upper half of the grid contains the forehead ridge, forehead and skull area of the face. This expanse in the carving of a Woods Spirit will exist used for hair and accent ornaments to the piece of work. The brow ridge lies at the bottom of this portion of the grid and is virtually i half unit of measurement high.

The facial features expanse of the face takes up the lower half of the grid. This area contains the eyes, nose, mouth and mentum expanse, and nigh of the ears.

Working from the grid lines:

The nose is created in the key top two units. Information technology is ane unit wide past ii units long. The olfactory organ tapers from one half unit of measurement thick at the bridge indicate to one unit thick at the nostrils. The nostrils are about one half unit of measurement high.
The eyes are ane unit wide past one half unit thick. They are separated by one full unit which holds the nose. The bottom one-half of this eye unit of measurement contains the fullness of the lower center lid.
The pupils of the eye prevarication on the center line of the centre unit. They are a half circle that disappears into the upper eye hat. The pupils are a total of 2 units apart from each other.
The mouth is two units wide and directly placed underneath the pupil lines. It lies in the lesser one-half of the unit beneath the nose. The lower lip is fuller than the upper lip. The corners of the mouth curves to a point ii third down into this unit.
The chin lies in the concluding unit underneath the nose and fills just a lilliputian more one unit broad.
The jaw line begins at the eye line of the lower half of the filigree. This is a slowly curving line that angles at i unit down and so reaches across the drawing to the chin area.
The ear begins at this eye line as well reaching up into the forehead expanse of the face. The ear mass stops at the center of the brow ridge.
The highest point of the cheek bone lies where the bottom line of the unit of measurement that contains the eye is crossed by the central line for the pupil.

Once y'all have a strong understanding of the placement of features in the human face up it becomes like shooting fish in a barrel to distort the face to create the Forest Spirit epitome. Woods Spirits mimic the man feature by over emphasizing some details and nether emphasizing others.

In this example information technology is the nose and cheek areas of the face up that has been exaggerated.

Annotation that the forehead and skull area have been compressed. The shortened forehead has been compensated by extending the hair line well out from the head. The nose has been elongated to three eye units instead of the normal ii units in length. Finally the oral fissure has been lengthened from corner to corner to approximately iii units broad.

By distorting the features in this drawing, a carving of this pattern will accent the depth of the eyes in the woods. The lengthening of the nose and rima oris volition mean that it will be carved higher in the face than normal. This higher olfactory organ area ways that there will be more space between the tip of the olfactory organ, the highest bespeak in the face, and the educatee of the eye, the everyman point in the face up. And having fun at exaggerating the human being face up is what carving the Woods Spirit is all virtually.
