Proportions in face

[Robin Hembrom]

Hi Zindy...
I read your tutorials on the proportions of face. I'D like to point out to you ( you may have figured it out...maybe) that one of the most common measures in the face is the distance between the eyes (from one corner to the other eye's corner i.e. horizontal distance) and the distance between the centre point i.e. the midlle of the eyebrows to the lower lips (Vertical distance) is equal in almost all the faces(unless the face is oval shaped)...I construct my portraits this way...It gets easier since you don't have to make wild guesses about the exact position of eyes, nose and the lips. I'd request you to add this fact to your tutorial( if you find this fact satisfying enough) as it would help people a lot, who are new to drawing.
Hope a reply from you......

No, I didn't know this. My tutorials are based on personal experiences and what seems to work for me. I am sure there are lots of ways to do this though.
