| This is my final drawing for this section on the face. I am using a technique of laying the pencil lead on it's side to achieve a chalk shading effect. |

Details of the Face-Final
Ears
At this point I had decided to proceed with drawing only the black and white sketches in this small sketchbook. There are many examples in the "Dynamic Anatomy" book that are beautifully drawn in colored chalk on newsprint. I will attempt to copy those at a later period of study using the appropriate materials and medium.
Nose Structure
Prior to this I had been taking some time and erasing and cleaning up the drawings. But by this point I finally used up my eraser, so I stopped revising the sketches and just left them as they were upon completion.
The sketch to the right has a line between the nose and upper lip that should not be there, but I am just going to leave it unretouched.
This section deals with drawing the nose. The examples in this section are exaggerated in order to help understand the construction planes and surfaces.
Eyes & Nose
I began to realize that many of the sketches in the book were used as details on different pages. So to avoid drawing different arrangements of the same sketch, I decided to look ahead and find the pictures that were repeated, in order to choose which one to draw.
As you will probably notice, this made for some odd layout arrangements.

Nose & Lips
The upper lip is shaped like a flattened M. The groove of the M (philtrum) thrusts forward like the prow of a ship (tubercle). The lower lip is developed like an extended W. The center groove receives the tubercle of the upper lip, while the arms of the W form two elliptical lobes.
