Inspired by the "meme" going around twitter. What are some art tips that fundamentally changed the way you did or thought about your art?
There's 3 for me, in order of complexity:
- The nose is a funky diamond from every angle.
- The Loomis method of head construction -- After drawing the initial circle for the head, draw another circle that sort of "slices off" part of the big circle as if it were a sphere because the sides of the head are flat. Draw perpendicular lines centered in this circle. The horizontal is your brow line, the vertical is where your jaw starts. A line around the head from the bottom of that second circle is where the nose sits.
