Quick comprehension check
“Describe how you would use the "ball and jaw" guideline, along with the horizontal and vertical lines, to start drawing a face looking slightly to the left. Explain how these guidelines help you determine the placement of the jawline. Explain how you would use the "nose triangle" guideline to help you place the eyes and mouth on a face. How does the position of the nose influence the placement of these other features?”
