I continue to study the facial features of Mr. Fell in preparation for the completion of a ceramic bust.

I have printed  light  copies of the following photos and have drawn directly on them to help me find and define the form.As can be observed I have over emphasized the shapes created by the varied forms comprising of the surface anatomy of the face in my attempts to discover this form. Also the drawn lines have been utilized in such a way as to define the contour of these shapes.


-The next step will be a preliminary clay study. (sketch)
