"Hi, I'm David Clemen on behalf of Expert Village. Today on the show we're going to do fashion illustration. OK the little talked about fashion illustration is men's faces and men's fashion illustration. Now a man's face is very square and angular, especially the models. So I just wanted to kind of briefly go over how to do a man's face. And we'll just kind of give you an example here. The eyebrows are usually very strong and intense. The eye is here very strong. OK, then we come over here. You know it's almost like the 30's and 40's movie stars, just very strong and angular. You can indicate the nose. See, the nose is very strong, angular lips, kind of brooding if you will and then once you know the perfectly coiffed hair. Come in here, now I'm just giving a detail of the face right now and then I'm going to do one of the bodies. But the jaw is like it's almost ridiculously square. Come up and then even though his hair is perfectly coiffed you can kind of take some liberties with it especially in fashion illustration. Go in here, he's got the Adam's apple, neck comes down and he's got a scarf, like this. And there it is, you can fill in the eyes, but he's very focused on having that new suit."
