Life Tips

Things learned during yesterday's life class:
1) look to model the structure before the detail
2) the basic structure of the body is the same for everyone - e.g. lengths correlate like "foot to forearm"
3) working from photographs rather than life can tend to produce flat sculpture and distorted perspective
4) ears are usually about 2 ear widths back from the front of the face
5) neck muscles are important

And here's where I am with my head:
Although it's now a better sculpture, paradoxically I think it has just lost a bit of the likeness and I now need to add back those touches that make it look "right"
