"So, here we have the human skull. This is an artists rending of the skull but it is basically the same for everybody and you have this round cranium. Going down to here you have the eye sockets, the nose, teeth, mouth, jaw and this is basically this shape. Is the important shape for a face. See the square jaw. This is where the ears would be. Ears are always basically right on the outside of the eyes. The hair would be coming in here, forehead. This little, you can see there is the brow bone. The little bit of shading coming here. Let's see. Ok, here we go. It is some muscles coming on and the cartilage of the nose. Coming out the eyeballs. Muscles come in here, here. This bit here is going to be the brow bone. So you want to always have this image in your head. This idea behind everything when you are drawing. It is really important because then you can get all the shading right. And just kind of like where the eyeballs are. You see like one of the kind of hints I always remind myself when I am drawing a face it that there is always going to be pretty much in a regular proportioned face. The space of one eye between each eye. If you do not do that then they are going to be too close together or too far apart. Whatever, like just basic structurally. That is the way it would be also we have some muscle. A diagram right here and the way the muscles go as well and cartilage. So, this is the really important one to remember. Also when you are painting if you think of this, it is a quick fix on where to put in the dark spots, the shading."
