Thanks for the recommend...Neuroticrobotic:<br />(Waves)<br /><br />Thanks for the recommendation, I'll definitely check it out.<br /><br />Oh how lucky! That must have been wonderful!<br /><br />I'm aware of the muscles (orbicularis oris practically says its purpose in the name), I really want greater detail on what it's shape is, what else is in there giving the area that shape, and where do most artists choose to say that area "ends".<br /><br />Yes, life drawing should happen more often. Thank you. :)Alfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165149302876247308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5150415700557217533.post-36182722923068424092011-02-08T22:54:30.538-08:002011-02-08T22:54:30.538-08:00Hey, do you have Dr. Paul Richer's "Artis...Hey, do you have Dr. Paul Richer's "Artistic Anatomy"? If not, I'd really recommend it. There's a lot of shitty anatomy books for artists, but I think that one is great. Half of it is simply reading material and the other half is comprised of simple, elegant diagrams, layer by layer.<br /><br />I've had the fortune of studying for a brief time under a master medical illustrator, which really brought to light a lot of subtleties of the human form. He could draw the figure inside and out at a larger than-life scale, from his head. As for the mouth corner specifically, check out the orbicularis oris. The mouth is a sphincter, basically. <br /><br />Anyhoodle, I love your enthusiastic observations, and I would love to see how those keen habits of yours would grow with life drawing. :)<br /><br />-neuroticroboticAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
