Needs:
Pages 82-84
Ruler
Pencil
Printed photo
Having several copies may help
First Step:
Print a full page photo (color or black and white)
Works best on regular paper instead of glossy
Invert the Photo
It is easier to see asymmetry and bilateral differences
AND, it makes your task more objective
Let’s Begin…
For demonstration purposes, I am going to leave the photo in it’s original position
Step 2:
Find the vertex of the cranium and the base of the chin
This will help you find the Line of Eye Closure
Step 3:
Find Equal Thirds of the Face:
Hairline to Eyebrows
Eyebrows to Base of Nose
Base of Nose to Base of Chin
Measure vertically from the hairline to the base of the chin and divide into 3 equal segments
Proportions According to the Canon of Beauty
Ear and Nose should be in the same middle 1/3 of the face
Top of the Ear should be on same line as the Eyebrow
Bottom of Ear should be on same line as Base of the Nose
Step 4:
Divide the lower third into 3 equal segments
Step 5:
Line of Lip Closure
Halfway between Base of Nose and TOP of Chin
Next: Widths of the Face
Step 6:
Measure 1 eye
In this photo 1 eye + 3/8” (in red)
Eye Widths
Face should be 5 eyes wide (zygomatic arch to zygomatic arch)
One eye width between eyes
Nose is One Eye wide
Mouth is Two Eyes wide
One Eye width from Lateral Corner of Eye to Side of Face
Bringing it All Together
