Anatomical Sketches
To help me to define facial features and expressions I used Andrew Loomis life drawings.
William Andrew Loomis (1892–1959), known simply as Andrew Loomis, was an American illustrator, author, and art instructor. Loomis is best known as author of a series of instructional art books printed throughout the 20th century.
After his death, Loomis' realistic style has continued to influence popular artists.

-
Eyes are halfway up the head.
