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.

Your facial shading tutorials are so useful! I've never had an easy time deciding where shade and light goes but with this it's like, "Shade goes here."
