How To Draw eyes, nose and lips.

Drawing a face from inside out.
Time:	Allow 40 minutes
Aim:	To draw a face using the inside-out method. Starting with the eyes we will construct a nose and mouth noting the relationship between them.
Materials:	The sketch pad, HB and 4B pencil, eraser, a ruler if need be.
Notes:	Allow five minutes to for the quick sketch test. Two minutes to do and three to mark. Swap, display and title if necessary. Mostly everything we draw is based on regualr solids such as cubes, spheres, cylinders and pryramids ... of a combination of them all. In this lesson we shall be using a sphere, a pyramid and a cylinder. Sphere Pyramid Split pyramid First we construct a light circle in the approximate position and size as shown below. Construct another circle in the position shown (exactly one full circle apart). Using a nice sickle arc describe the edges of the shadows that will form the spheres. Shade in the shadow parts of the twin spheres Copy the eye shapes from my drawing being careful to keep them level and sketch the inside corners as I have done. Add the lids and draw in the iris and pupils as shown below. To make the eyes look right or left you would position the pupils accordingly. Shade in the pupils and irises.
Continuation:	This completes part I of this lesson. Part 2 is continued on the next page.
