Thank you so very much. I have been told where to put triangles and other shapes before, but it didn't connect for me until now. By using the colors to signify the flat ish planes for each section, and then using the same colors in the next drawing, I was able to see that plane clearly and it all clicked into place. Bless you! So very cool. Can't wait to see next week's class. And this week, I will go back and do the eyes class. đź‘Ś Outstanding class!!!

Great foundational class teaching proportions and where features and planes of the face are. Very basic but necessary information to learn how to draw faces well! Shelby really answers questions thoroughly and explains the complex concepts in an easy to understand way
