Constructing the Eye Sockets | Head Drawing Part 04

Two ways to construct the eye sockets: one big visor across the brow, or three planes that let the socket fall back. The criticism of most constructive drawing is that you're trying to make clones of yourself. It couldn't be farther from the truth. It's an interpretive strategy. BE ADVISED A full course on this subject is available with instructor feedback on your work. While the subject matter is similar, the depth of instruction and visual production is much greater and newer on Proko. With that said, please enjoy this free lesson.
