For the first time ever, I have put a new greeting card design directly on Society6! Link to my shop in bio. :) ⠀ ⠀ I have missed many, many people and places over the last year. I sketched the idea for this design before the pandemic, but as the months of missing have dragged on it seemed appropriate to finish it and share it.⠀ If you have missed and been missed, I hope this little wood thrush will bring you some joy.⠀ ⠀ #missyou #woodthrush #cartoon #illustration #greetingcard #art #bird #birdart #communication #longing #stationery https://www.instagram.com/p/CP_ICUAjx5x/?utm_medium=tumblr

I really miss my TAZ phase every now and then, and since Ive had a really stressful week I thought I’d treat myself to drawing some old comfort characters!

Can I get some tips for drawing heads facing upwards? The neck and chin always confuse me.

Yes! This is one of the hardest angles to get right, imo, because it’s such a rare position to find ourselves in. That, plus the foreshortening needed to get the face just right. 

I’d start by doing some studies. Here, I traced over these stock photos to figure out where the contour lines of the jaw go, and the sculptural quality of the neck. 

Then,  I used the knowledge to draw a head freehand. 

Some important notes: 

The chin slopes into the neck with a pad of fat, muscle, and skin. Therefore, you shouldn’t follow the contour of the jaw. It shows as a “shelf”, as in you can see the shadow underneath. In people with more prominent fat, there will be less of a change in angle, and you will see less shadow under the jawbone. 

Some people have a prominent adam’s apple that you can see on the track of the trachea.

The sternocleidomastoid muscle is important to show. It connects from just behind the ear to the clavicle. It is used in the turning of the head.
