Geez, uploading this to Scraps because I've already uploaded one too many facial shading things, I know. ^^; But this includes the basic planes of the face, which might help some people figure out why the face is shaded in a certain way depending on the light source. So Scraps watchers of mine get to see this bonus material first. :giggle:

This was a copy of an exercise sheet I passed around to students in my latest character illustration class. The face drawings are mine - the students copied the basic planes onto the large face then shaded the six smaller identical ones in different ways.

I referenced the basic planes of the face off of one of Andrew Loomis's books, Drawing the Head and Hands.

This is such a great reference! I'm in a level 200 drawing and we're doing self portraits, with planar analysis. This has really helped it all to click. Thank you :)

Oh wait this doesn't have 1.7 bajillion comments? Then I guess you wouldn't mind one more.

I've always enjoyed your references and tutorials. Thank you for taking the time to make them and help fellow artists develop their skills.

And because of timing: Hope you have Happy Holidays!

Stick to your task till it sticks to you;
Beginners are many, but enders are few.
Honor, power, place, and praise
Will always come to the one who stays.
