Basic Forms One of the most overlooked ideas of the mouth is the cylindrical tooth cylinder underneath. You can see here how this inflated cylinder affects the surface forms of the lips: Major Planes Anatomical Information I won’t go into too much detail about all the muscles of the lips and their functions because that’s not the intention of this tutorial. is a great resource for anatomy. The red portion of the lips and the part directly above and below is called the orbicularis oris. Minor Planes The Red Portion of the Lips The top lip has three forms and the bottom lip has two.

Hand-Drawn Banner Tutorial I’d like to state as a matter of fact that hand-drawn banners are the chic design element right now, and their applications are limitless. One stroll around Whole Foods will tell you they look great on chalkboards. Many hip blogs {though … come to think of it, not mine} feature them to draw your attention to this, that, or the other. And then there’s the illustration aspect! I love drawing banners on my outgoing letters and using them in doodles. The Arch Banner: To create an arch banner, start with a curved line. Extend a line down from the right side, about 0.5″ long. From the bottom of that line, draw a curved bottom line that’s parallel to your top line. “Seal it”! Now, draw a short horizontal line that starts about 1/4th of the way down on the side of your banner. Draw a line straight down from the end of that line. Finish up this shape by drawing another horizontal line over, and a vertical line up. Make a small vertical line down. And add the first half of a V-cut. And voilà!

Drawing the Eye - Teach Yourself to Draw Faces Step 1 - The Outline of the Eye Close observation is very important when starting the line drawing of an eye. You must pay particular attention to the difference in shape between the upper and lower eyelids. Each eye is unique and the more acute your observation, the more accurate a likeness you will achieve. Step 2 - Drawing the Iris You should note how the upper eyelid covers the top of the iris. Step 3 - The Surface of the Eye There are two main elements to consider when drawing the glassy surface of the eye: 1. 2. Step 4 - The Eye Socket The final step is to render the solidity of the eye socket and surrounding area using graduated tone. The upper eyelid casts a shadow which forms a dark curve across the top of the eyeball. Graduated shading is used to cover the outline detail and build up the tone of the eyelids and surrounding area. Eyebrows and eyelashes are formed by soft, delicate hairs, so draw these lightly and pay particular attention to the direction of their growth.
How to Draw Ears For a video version of this tutorial visit www.proko.com/how-to-draw-ears-anatomy-and-structure In this tutorial I will go over the parts of the ear and suggest an easy way to remember all these complex shapes. At the end, I will show a step by step of an ear drawing. Basic Forms The simplified volume of the ear is very much like a megaphone. Just Remember “why?” At first glance the shapes in the ear seem random and confusing. Placement of the Ears The ears lie in the middle third of the face. In Perspective During an up-tilt or down-tilt the placement of the ears is very important since doing it incorrectly can break the illusion of a tilt. Anatomical Information Shading the Complex Forms of the Ear Concha The concha is the bowl-shaped part that attaches the back of the ear to the head. Helix The Helix is a semi-cylindrical form and should be shaded as such. Antihelix The antihelix is the Y shape inside the ear. Tragus and Antitragus Lobule Drawing the Ear 5.

Top 10 Common Faults In Human Thought Humans The human mind is a wonderful thing. Cognition, the act or process of thinking, enables us to process vast amounts of information quickly. For example, every time your eyes are open, you brain is constantly being bombarded with stimuli. You may be consciously thinking about one specific thing, but you brain is processing thousands of subconscious ideas. Unfortunately, our cognition is not perfect, and there are certain judgment errors that we are prone to making, known in the field of psychology as cognitive biases. The Gambler’s fallacy is the tendency to think that future probabilities are altered by past events, when in reality, they are not. Reactivity is the tendency of people to act or appear differently when they know that they are being observed. Pareidolia is when random images or sounds are perceived as significant. Interesting Fact: the Rorschach Inkblot test was developed to use pareidolia to tap into people’s mental states. Self-fulfilling Prophecy
Create a Pencil Drawing of a Face In this demo, I create a charcoal pencil drawing a face. If you haven't drawn a face successfully already, you may want to brush up on basics of drawing a human head before working through this page. I always say that knowing how the human head is structured sets you more at ease when drawing people. The woman I will be drawing is turning away from us toward her right side. As this is to be a pencil drawing of a face, I won't cover anything beyond her head and neck. I start by 'framing' the head with four marks, at the top of the head, bottom of the chin, and on either side at the widest point. Finally, I declare my pencil drawing of the face done for the time being. If you practice often with a pencil, drawing a face should come easily. I hope you enjoy and learn from my pencil drawing of the face of this ballet dancer (yes, that is her true identity). Explore Drawing And Painting > Draw People > Pencil Drawing Of A Face
