Drawing the Face

The full climb — from why everyone draws the eyes too high, all the way to bending proportion on purpose to catch a likeness or push a caricature. Four short steps, each with its own toy to play with.

1 Where it comes fromGuess where the eyes go, then reveal the true halfway line and your error. 2 How to do itDrag the features onto the proportion grid and watch each one snap green. 3 Where it gets trickyPush one proportion away from average and watch a person appear. 4 Out in the wildTurn the caricature dial from accurate all the way to cartoon.
