I learned all about how to draw a human face and how to make correct facial proportions. When first learning this in my diagrammatic drawing, I learned the basic shape of a face which helped me in drawing others' faces. Learning that the eyes were in the middle of the face and that the ears were about as long as the length of the eyes and nose helped the most. My next drawing was the skull drawing which helped me learn the placement of the eyes; they fit right into the eye sockets. This also shaped the eyelids which gave my face dimension. My next drawing was my portrait of Kaylee in pencil. I was able to create many details which helped make her resemble the picture I took of her. Last was the charcoal portrait of Kaylee which taught me how to use values instead of sharp outlines to create facial features. This all taught me many techniques like blending, proportions, and overlapping of charcoal.
