Around Left Eye & Cheek (23:23)
Next, draw in the left eyebrow and cheek, starting from the skin below the eyes to the eyebrow, then down the cheek. You’ll learn to look for “hidden” colors to achieve realistic-looking skin tones. Karen then guides you through a simple method for drawing eyebrows and freckles.
Right Eye, Forehead & Nose (14:56)
Move on to the right eye, forehead and nose, focusing on tonal values and colors. Discover how to indicate facial forms without using hard line edges, and how to look for subtle color shifts when rendering skin tones.
