    This document provides instructions for drawing different facial features, including ears, eyes, nose, and mouth. It emphasizes careful observation of shapes, lines, planes, and tonal values. For each feature, it breaks the drawing process down into simple steps, focusing first on basic linear structure and then gradually building up form and detail with shading. It stresses the importance of simplifying tonal values into light, medium, and dark areas and refining subtle value variations within each area. The goal is to use these techniques to realistically render the complex three-dimensional forms of the facial features in tonal drawings.

    The passage provides guidance on drawing different facial features such as the eye, nose, mouth, and techniques for shading tones.

    The passage mentions two key things to observe when drawing the eye: 1) the difference in shape between the upper and lower eyelids, and 2) how the upper eyelid covers the top of the iris.

    The passage mentions two key steps for drawing the nose: 1) drawing the inside and outside edges of the nostrils and outlines of the main tonal areas, and 2) simplifying the shading into three basic tonal areas (dark, medium, light).

    Portraiture

    - Ears

    The ear is a complicated arrangement of ripples and folds of flesh.


    You need to organize its irregular shape into some basic forms that are easier to outline.
    You can then use this linear framework to gradually build up its complex form with tone.
    Simplify the tonal structure into three areas: 1. Areas that are mostly light - Leave these un-shaded. 2. Areas that are mostly dark - Shade these with a midtone. 3. Areas that are extremely dark - Shade these with a dark tone.
    Look deeply into each area of tone and try to pick up on the subtle variations that lie within.
    You may have to darken some of the light areas and lighten some of the dark areas to achieve a balance of tone.

    Portraiture - Eyes

    There are two things that you should carefully observe when starting your drawing of an eye:
    1 - The difference in shape between the upper and lower eyelids. (The Eye is not a rugby ball shape!)
    2 - How the upper eyelid covers the top of the iris.
    Look at the 3 pictures bellow and use them to help you draw a tonal picture of an eye in the box.

    Portraiture - Nose

    Step 1 - The Initial Line Drawing


    The nose is formed by a series of curved planes. This makes it difficult to draw as there are very few lines to help us describe its shape.
    Start by drawing what you can see, namely the inside and outside edges of the nostrils. Then try to outline the main areas of tone that define the planes of the nose.
    Draw these lightly as you want them to disappear under your shading at a later stage in the drawing.
    Step 2 - Tone
    Simplify your shading into three basic tonal areas - dark, medium and light (the white of the paper).
    Block in each plane of the nose with its appropriate tone. This should begin to render its three-dimensional form.
    Carefully refine the strength and subtlety of the tone, softening the lines that join each plane with graduated areas of shading.
    You must look more closely at this stage to try to discern the faint variations of shading within each area of tone. It is this close observation that will take your drawing to
    the next level.

    Portraiture - Mouth

    The mouth is the second most expressive feature of the face. Great care should be taken in drawing its shape as it is a key element in achieving a likeness.
    Start by drawing the subtle shape of the line that is formed as the lips meet. This will create a natural expression for the mouth.
    The top lip has its characteristic bow shape, which varies considerably from person to person. The bottom lip is usually larger than the top and more creased with vertical
    stretch lines.
    The upper lip slopes inwards and is normally darker in tone as it is shaded from the light.
    The lower lip is more fleshy with a stronger muscular structure. It tends to catch the light and is further distinguished by the shadow below its pouting form.
    In the final stages of drawing the mouth, tone is used to soften the edges and refine the detail. Not only should it highlight the surface texture of the skin, but it should also
    make you more aware of the muscular structure that lies beneath.
    There is a subtle softening around the edges of the lips, which helps to blend them comfortably into the face. Note how the detail at each corner of the mouth diffuses into
    a small area of tone.
