Discover techniques for depicting aging in portraits by focusing on bone structure and fat movement rather than relying solely on wrinkles. Explore how the skull becomes more visible as fat decreases and sags with age, revealing structures like cheekbones. Learn to pay attention to key areas such as cheeks, eyes, and jawline, using shading and edges to show these changes. Understand how light interacts with facial planes to effectively portray age. Delve into topics including head construction, cheekbones, eyes, jaw and jowls, shadows and nose, lips and mouth, lighting techniques, and staging with light and shadow to enhance your portrait drawing skills.
