I mean ...Thanks Charlie, sorry for the late reply.<br /><br />I mean if you can get the tilt of the head properly you'll be able to nail the sketch accordingly and more accurately than if you missed the whole tilt. Getting that angle is vital! both the central tilt and the horizontals that run across the face.<br />Remember it's still sketching and likeness is not really the goal but if you get the tilt right, all the features will fall in the right place and you are more closer to get a likeness than when you miss the tilt or angle the head is positioned.<br />If your model keeps moving there are two things you can do: start a fresh sketch OR keep 2 or 3 going at the same time. People tend to fall back into one, two or three positions, and you can complete each one as they return to those positions. I do that many times.<br />I don't combine angles for one head, No.<br />I'll sketch from memory only when the person is by my side and I don't want to keep turning my head back and forth. But the best practice is not to move ones head but ones eyes.<br />Hope this helps, sometimes it is hard to explain something practical with words but this is my best shot.adebanjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12832505675979297771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549245502102517403.post-17628572874232024222011-04-06T05:46:07.529+01:002011-04-06T05:46:07.529+01:00Hi, I have a question about Number 19 of your tips...Hi, I have a question about Number 19 of your tips: <br />Do you mean the tilt of the head can be one of the most important lines? getting the right angle means getting the closest likeness? How do you do that when your model keeps moving on the train? Do you combine angles? Do you sketch from memory (#18) the rest of details after major angles?<br />Thanks! I really appreciate your blog, these posts, and your oil sketches too.<br />-Charlie, SF, CA, USAUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06246501597675660763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549245502102517403.post-20621726913967233072010-03-01T05:35:04.017+00:002010-03-01T05:35:04.017+00:00Thanks Sharon!
