    Default No not a car, a head!

    Hi everyone,
    thought I'd have a try at drawing a Bob Hahn type drawing, please forgive me Bob, but we have all got to start somewhere This is what I ended up with. Does anyone know how to draw teeth? I made my effort using two shapes, a blend and then the mould tool to put them in place, do I hear you say they want extracting! The tones on the face I made by making a copy of the original, making it a reddish transparency then sliceing shapes out of it where I wanted the tones.

    stygg,
    I think you're getting the hang of it, except I don't think the lines around the eyes look like the same technique as the rest of the drawing. But then again I don't know anything about this type of drawing.
    Love the hair!

    Your right about the eyes Ron, you'd think eye lashes would be simple to draw but I can never get them looking right. I wish Bob would do a tut. on this type of drawing.

    Cheers Stygg

    I'm ok with the pupils, the eyes in the drawing are from the tut Bob did. Teeth and lashes need some guidence.

    what i often do is just make a few and then clone/group/duplicate/resize etc as necessary to get the overall effect - works very well for dunes of grass - should work for eyelashes too in theory

    Draw one at each end, and blend between them ..... OK, just tested that. That doesn't work ---- Is there any way to curve the path of the blend?

    O.K answered my own question. Blend between them to suit and then use mould tool to adjust as necessary.

    Attached gif changed to blend along a path as per David O' Neil (see post #13)

    Neat drawing... Here are some teeth to use as a model. Teeth are not pure white and you need highlights and shadows to make em look like something.
