This is the second of three parts and it goes through the tools and concepts I am using in the beginning of a block in. My paper here is Stonehenge.

I have a question what materials do you use at the different parts?

Robert M

also will you make a full figure drawing that includes legs and the whole figure in different poses?

what do you recommend to do when the paper cant take any more charcoal or graphite in this case?

Good question. Best advice is to focus more in the unity of the value rather than the darkness. Then, make your lighter values also slightly lighter to capture the right contrast.

Hello Stephen. No idea where to post this, but I put this question here (this lesson has some connection to anatomy). I have a plastic skull, and a few years ago, I took a short course showing how to do an eccorche in clay (dry clay) putting muscles over one side of the skull (other side is just exposed skull). Was enjoyable. However, that was a few years ago, and the skull with eccorche since then has been left in the cupboard, unfortunately ! Now, I want to take it out again and draw it(did it once last week), to “get the anatomy into my hands.” However, any more specific advice on how to do this? Just rotate the skull in different angles and lighting conditions, and then just draw, many, many times? Then label the parts (zygomatic, glabella etc) adding a diagram element on top of the drawings? Any other suggestions? As you have said, I want to really get the facial anatomy into my actual drawing practice. Thanks again, Daniel.

After the color section of the Atelier Tier is concluded I will be releasing a series of lessons on anatomy for portrait artists- along with my new app that is made for this purpose. There is no totally simple answer for how to do it- much easier to show- but it starts with sketching and labeling. Then applying that knowledge to your block ins.
