Look past all the distracting details and visualize the underlying forms. This ability to simplify can be applied to the features of the face, but when starting the drawing you could look even further. Ignore even the features and simplify to the most basic form of the head. I use a method taught by Andrew Loomis in his book, “Drawing the Head & Hands”. The head deconstructed into its basic forms, is a sphere as the cranium and a block as the jaw and cheek bones. A Sphere as the Cranium The sides of the head are flat, so we can slice off a piece from both sides of the ball. A Block as the Jaw and Cheek Bones Attach the shape of the jaw. Constructing From Any Angle Step 1 – Determine the angle of the ball The angle of the head is established at the very beginning of the drawing with the ball. X Axis - The up and down tilt is established by the angles of the horizontal and vertical lines in the oval.
How To Use Color To Enhance Your Designs People are physically, psychologically, and socially influenced by color. Color has been found to have connections to health and it can help set the mood through which your designs are seen. Color communicates meaning and so we need to be conscious of what meaning we’re conveying when we choose to use one color over another. Color is a tool in the designer’s toolbox much the same as a grid or whitespace and it’s important to understand how to use that tool. Last week we talked about the color theory and how we could represent color and choose different color schemes. Color Meaning The first and perhaps most important thing to understand about the meaning of color is that there is no substantive evidence that support a universal system of color meaning. Even within a single culture individual differences will exist. The above means that it’s important to understand who your target audience is and how your audience attaches meaning to color. Red: is the color of fire and blood. Summary

While I don't have plane tickets or time to travel the world, I do have access to CrowdFlower's 4 million contributors to re-test hypotheses about the universality of color-naming. Four years ago, we showed English language speakers random colors and asked for the color names. The color-wheel above (thanks D3 and Dawn) contains 4,000 colors (we collected many more, but didn't want to crash everyone's browsers). On the whole, it looks like countries have extremely similar conceptions of color. What do you see in the data? And stay tuned for more blog posts on when big crowd meets old science. The CrowdFlower task seen by contributors in the U.S., France, Germany, and China:

[y_h_b_t_i] Color First published Mon Dec 1, 1997; substantive revision Thu Oct 11, 2012 Colors are of philosophical interest for a number of reasons. One of the most important reasons is that color raises serious metaphysical issues, concerning the nature both of physical reality and of the mind. Among these issues are questions concerning whether color is part of a mind-independent reality, and what account we can give of experiences of color. These issues have been, and continue to be, inextricably linked with important epistemological and semantic issues. 1. In this section, we consider some central puzzles that arise from trying to fit colors into scientific accounts of the world. 1.1 A Problem with Color The visual world, the world as we see it, is a world populated by colored objects. One of the major problems with color has to do with fitting what we seem to know about colors into what science, particularly physics, tells us about physical bodies and their qualities. 1.3 The Problem of Color Realism
