In Lesson 12, we pivot from the profile to the absolute front view of the skull. The formulas for the front view are surprisingly simple once the spatial depth of the side view is understood.
Cleaning up the Character Design
We analyze how our previous character designs map onto a front-facing perspective. As you go through your drawing phases, you'll discover that subtle changes to the width of the cheekbones (zygomatic arch) completely redefine the character's ethnicity and age.
Mastering the Front View
Because the front view relies heavily on horizontal symmetry, it is typically easier to grasp. We lock down the precise placement of the eye sockets and the nasal cavity, ensuring that your portraits never look lopsided or structurally weak.
