The next project we were given is the 1/2 face portrait. The human facial structure is very symmetrical. Most people's faces are almost identical from the nose on out. The fact that it is symmetrical gives us the ability to complete the complete structure of a face if we have seen only half of what it looks like. For this assignment, we were asked to find an image of someone that you admire. We will then use the symmetry of the image to construct their entire face by only having an opposite half as a reference. The person that I have chosen for this project is Javier Hernandez or "Chicharito", he is a famous Mexican Soccer Player. He is by far one of my favorite soccer players, and one that I definitely admire. During this project I faced some challenges, it was very difficult trying to find an image where he was not in game. Something else that was very difficult was constructing the other half of his jersey because it is full of design and detail as well as the amount of shadow that was on his face. Overall, the process of drawing the left side of his face was full of errors and mistakes however it was interesting. By completing this assignment, I get to see exactly how symmetrical the face is, it was a long but interesting drawing.
