The eyeball is a sphere! Look closely at the shading, especially on the top portion of the eyeball and the corners. Remember that one eye width should be between the eyes, and they are in the center of your head. It's also easier to draw the eyes first (after the head shape) so you can use them to measure everything else.

The ear looks complex, so it helps to simplify it into 5 shapes as shown here.

Look closely at not only the top angle of the nose, but also the bottom angle.

# data[].attributes.body
Start with the line where the lips meet.
Top lip is curvier, darker, longer, and thinner than bottom lip in most cases.
Bottom Lip is straighter, thicker, and doesn't reach the corner all the way.

# data[].attributes.body
Notice the only lines drawn are the dark ones on bottom. The lines on the sides are just used as reference for the shading.

Learning to render values in different ways gives you more options with textures, styles, and tools. These are some of the most common ones.

Did you know that red is the first color that humans perceive, after black and white? It's the color that babies see first before any other, and the first that those suffering from temporary color blindness after a brain injury start to see again. Red's dominance is even reflected in how colors are defined: although different societies developed their names for colors at different times and in different ways, almost all of them named them in the same order. With only a few exceptions, the order of labelling colors was generally black first, white second, red third, and then green, yellow and blue.

Scientists have posited that societies developed names for colors according to which ones they had the strongest reaction to. This means that humans, supposedly much like bulls, have had strong feelings about the color red for thousands of years. Over time, red has come to symbolize power, love, vigor, and beauty. Do you want to know why? Take a journey with us through history to discover the surprising story of the world's most powerful color...

Red also made waves on the pre-historic art scene. Caves across the world, from Africa to Asia to Europe, bear traces made during the Paleolithic era. Drawings of animals, vessels, and people were made from painting red ochre on the cave walls, like this painting of a thylacoleo (an extinct species of lion) from the Djulirri rock art site in Northern Australia. More than 11,000 paintings have been found stretched over the site. Dated to 11,000 BCE, this naturalist animal painting may be the oldest surviving painting discovered there.

7. Raising Red Flags

World leaders have used red clothing as a way to showcase their power for hundreds of years. This portrait of Princess Elizabeth I before her accession as Queen shows a young woman preparing to assume her position as a powerful monarch. Her richly decorated red dress and red coif (close-fitting cap) send an unequivocal message of the young woman's political and moral strength. After the fall of the monarchy, the color red was then taken up by Revolutionaries around the world to symbolize new liberties and freedoms: from French Revolutionaries and their red phrygian caps, to the Bolshevik, Cultural, and Cuban Revolutions.

Courage, sacrifice, and love or anger, danger, and war? The color red can be associated with the happiest feelings as well as with the worst. Being the color that elicits the strongest reactions, it is no surprise that its symbolism can lie on both ends of the spectrum. So next time you're held up at a red stoplight (in this case the red is a symbol of danger), think about the color's revolutionary history (and maybe love too).
