Here Are Sketches I May Not Finish, So Take A Moment And Look This Shit And The Redesigns Of Max

here are sketches i may not finish, so take a moment and look this shit and the redesigns of max

how draw side heads

I not very good at explaining things but I hope this helps a littleOkay so start out with a good ol’ circle.  Then draw a big swooping line downwards. That’s gonna be your guide. Mark in the jaw line then split the whole thing into thirds, the thirds will help you get your features in the right place. Placing the thirds lower down on the face will result in a younger character.

Now we have our guides we’re gonna draw a line for the the forehead with a dip that finishes at the top of the middle third. From there we get to draw the nose. The nose should end up near or just above the bottom third. 

Now we draw in the top lip which comes down and out from the bottom of the nose and then curls back under. Draw in your mouth shape, open or closed or whatever you want. The bottom lip comes back out and curls gently under, though it never comes out as far as the top lip unless you have an under bite or something. The chin curves inwards under the lip then outwards again. At this point you can adjust the length of the jaw to your liking.

Here’s where we add the ears, they should be as tall as the space between he bottom of the nose and the pupils. You can extend the back of the head here, the more space behind the ears the younger the character. I also put in the neck and hair line here.

The eyes kinda look like segments from the side. The eyeball itself should have a slight curve so it’s not a triangle. It’s also quite a thin segment so if it looks like a pizza slice (the crust being the curve of the eyeball) then it’s too long. Also, draw a lil bit of eyelash and eyebrow just peeking out of the profile just to indicate that there is another side to the face.

slap on the hair. I guess the only thing to remember here is that the hair wraps around the head so side fringes and the like need to be shown moving from the front side to the back.

get rid of your guidelines and there you go, one profile. 

*disgusted noises* i love you so much it make me wanna puke

I interrupt a long-term hiatus to help raise awareness towards the new Copyright Laws that might come into effect starting next week unless we join efforts to stop it. 

A friend and fellow artist, Will Terry, has joined forces with Brad Holland to help us understand what this Copyright Law is all about, here is their message:

“Orphan Works in a Nutshell:

- Congress is drafting a new US Copyright Act. If passed, it would replace current US Copyright law. There isn’t any bill yet, but the Copyright Office has issued its recommendations for one. Their Report is 234 pages long and is very complicated, so it’s risky to try reducing it to a few words. But here’s a summary of its basic features:

It would void your Constitutional right to the EXCLUSIVE CONTROL of YOUR work.

It would effectively reverse the default premise of copyright law; which means…

It would make the public’s right to use your work its defining goal; which means…

You would have to make your work available to the public.

You would have to do this by registering every picture you want to retain the rights to with for-profit registries.

Unregistered work would be considered legally “orphaned.”

Orphaned work would be available for commercial infringement by “good faith” infringers.

Good faith infringers would be anyone who believed they had made a “reasonably diligent,” but unsuccessful effort to find you.

Infringers could also ALTER your work and copyright the “derivative works” in their own names.

This would affect all visual art: drawings, paintings, sketches, photos, etc.; past, present and future; published and unpublished; domestic and foreign.

It would include family snapshots and any picture or work you ever put on the Internet.

The Copyright Office acknowledges that this would pose special “challenges” for visual artists…

But they conclude that it’s in the public interest for your work to be available for anyone to use.

The Copyright Office has also recommended the following:

Mass Digitization of the world’s intellectual property by corporate interests.

Extended Collective Licensing, a form of socialized corporate licensing that would replace voluntary agreements between artists and clients.

A Copyright Small Claims Court to handle the expected flood of orphan works lawsuits.
