Scott Eaton: Portraiture and Facial Anatomy for Artists

I recently had the pleasure of completing the 3 day Portraiture and Facial Anatomy course with Scott Eaton, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.











Scott shared a wealth of knowledge on facial anatomy - how to recognise and understand various landmarks on the face for construction and deformation, variations on the bell curve, the differences between gender, race and species, as well as FACS breakdowns and so much more.


Here's an overview of the construction task over the three days.


Blocking in the TemporalisMasseterMedial and Lateral Pterygoids.



Adding the eyeballs, orbital fat, superior and inferior TarsusLevator tendon, Canthus and Orbicularis oculi. Also, cleaning up where the Masseter joins the Zygomatic bone.



Adding the FrontalisProcerus
Corrugator supercilii (should have been under the frontalis), Orbicularis orisBuccinator and Buccal fat (far too much!).



Adding Zygomaticus major and minor, Depressor labii inferiorisDepressor anguli orisMentalisLevator labii superioris and chin fat (for the mentalis).



I need to practice noses!
