Expression Work-Ups

A tutorial done for my Digital Painting students explaining how to construct a head, create expressions and then plot light/shadows on the features from a fixed light source.



The initial construction, relying on solid volumes as a base and then using perspective to plot the features.



A more finished line art version created by using the original construction as a base.



An example of a light source coming from above.



Another example, this time with the same face lit from below.
