Face Study


Waiting for a meeting this morning.
Every once in a while I'll do a few sketches just to find out what I'm missing. What muscle insert have I been faking? What would the light really do? For this one I just tried to keep the light position fixed relative to their face directions. The temptation to reference photos was pretty bad. Then I goback and check against photos/mirror with similar light. These are pretty off, but (and always) it's worth every minute I spent on it - just to take away a couple things I learned.
