Assignment 1 Heads
I found this head and it stuck out to me for a couple reasons. I find this head simple but its characteristics are not sticking out awkwardly. I struggled with making the facial features look natural and had to trash my first few attempts because the lips and nose stuck out unnaturally. My big issue was the ears and this piece has proportionate ears and the way this piece was painted accentuates the natural facial features. I love the folds and creases in what would be his skin because as simple looking as this is, it looks almost real.
