Description
Geez, uploading this to Scraps because I've already uploaded one too many facial shading things, I know.
But this includes the basic planes of the face, which might help some people figure out why the face is shaded in a certain way depending on the light source. So Scraps watchers of mine get to see this bonus material first. 
This was a copy of an exercise sheet I passed around to students in my latest character illustration class. The face drawings are mine - the students copied the basic planes onto the large face then shaded the six smaller identical ones in different ways.
I referenced the basic planes of the face off of one of Andrew Loomis's books, Drawing the Head and Hands.

Awesome!!!!! mapping out the different planes of shading on the face. Freak'n brilliant. I suck at shading and negative spacing, and this tutorial has really helped with my classes
I hope it is not too much to ask but if you could make a similar shadow grid for the rest of the body it would be helpful on a revolutionary scale!!!!

wow this is really helpful. I can't draw too well so I avoid shading, usually resulting in drawings that are really not captivating at all.
I'm definitely going to try to tackle some shading now
