Toonmom Hi, Wow! I can see you are working on your exaggeration it really shows. The only thing I could say is you may want to place the cheek bones in front of the jaw. You did a great job! I knew who it was right off. He would be a great challenge.

You mean like you talked about in your cheek bone lesson? Here is the picture I used: Does the cheek bone rule always apply? I think by looking at the reference image you can see why I drew it the way I did. I'm not questioning you, I am trying to understand better. Thank you for taking the time to comment on my work Mauri.

that's a great cartoon. i love the photo. i've been looking for one to draw, could never find one that was clear and had all three. i've never seen one of simon smiling! i'm wondering about the cheekbone thing, too. when i look at the photo, it does look like the line goes behind the jaw. is that because of his pudgy cheeks? any suggestions on what to look for, with cheek and jaw?

Great Question! I know it looks like the line is going behind the cheekbone however this is where you draw what you know not what you see. Photos can be deceptive. This is where your anatomy comes in to play. The anitomical structure is the same on everyone unless they are disfigured. This is why we should draw from the skull and study some of the muscles that connect the face. You don't have to know every muscle or the names however you should get a good understanding of how the face is put together. Gary faigin has an awesome book on facial anotomy! I'll get you the name of the book I can't remember right off hand. I hope this helps! ;D

I have Anatomy for the Artist by Sarah Simblet, but it is a bit " dry". It's a big book with lots of text that explains what everything is. There are not many drawings, but are a lot of photos of people in different positions. I'm not sure what makes it "for the artist". Mauri is this the book? The Artist's Complete Guide to Facial Expression

Toonmom, yes! That's it My caricature teacher got me that book for christmas one year. I think it's a really helpful book. Stoontoons I think the Hogarth book Drawing the head is fantastic for learning as well!!
