The five senses are the main features of characters. Such as eyes, are the most sensitive organs to convey inner feelings and perceive foreign things. The so-called "insight", in this sense, people's eyes are very subtle and have the characteristics of exploring the subtle. So it is very important to describe people's eyes. The eyes are generally composed of these parts: upper eyelid, lower eyelid, cleft eye, white eye, pupil and iris. Its eye shape can be divided into square eyes, round eyes (tiger eyes, apricot eyes), phoenix eyes, triangular eyes and so on. Due to the infinite variety and activities of the eyes, it performs scenes of "vivid dramas" on the faces of characters. For example, the eyes of the elderly are mostly experienced and weather-beaten, showing the unique perseverance, stability and wisdom of the elderly, with the characteristics of kindness and kindness; The eyes of young people are mostly in their prime, striving for progress, showing the unique vitality of young people, lively, cheerful, enthusiastic and frank; Some are chic and handsome, some are gentle and quiet, and some are generous and warm. It is very critical and important to analyze and study these eyes with different characters, different age levels and different styles for grasping the whole object, and even it can be said to be a success or failure. Beginners can also refer to how other excellent works depict the eyes of characters, such as the classic works of painting masters Leonardo da Vinci and Lie Bin, which will be helpful to them.
Also, you should be familiar with eyebrows, which can match your eyes to a great extent, convey your feelings and show your temperament and personality. The shapes of eyebrows are knife-shaped eyebrows, willow eyebrows, eight-character eyebrows, lying silkworm eyebrows, moth eyebrows, birthday girl eyebrows, etc. Some are brave and gentle, while others are fierce and cunning.
The expression of the nose on the face is also very important, which plays a decisive role in depicting characters. Nose is divided into nasal bone, nose ball and nose wing, which can also show the temperament and personality of characters to a certain extent. The nose is wide, showing the character's honesty; Narrow nose gives people a sense of shrewdness and selfishness. The nose is in the middle of the face, so we should pay attention to its long and short volume and shape characteristics in the face.
Mouth is another key point in depicting characters' expressions. There are people above the eyes, followed by upper lip, upper lip nodule, mouth corner, labial groove, lower lip and chin lip groove. As an organ to express people's expressions, its shape is always solitary. In everyone's performance, they have their own elegant demeanour, and some are rich and beautiful, warm and generous; Some are petite and beautiful, elegant and beautiful; Some take thin lips as beauty, which makes them articulate. Therefore, depicting the mouth and its surrounding parts is a big difficulty in sketching the head, and beginners should carefully understand and observe it. Pay attention to its shape, structure and turn, draw the lip line of the upper and lower lips, the curve of the lip seam between the two lips, draw the corners of the mouth, and the performance of the lip groove between the human and the chin is very subtle, but a little performance, but it looks ingenious and charming.
The structure of the ear is mainly composed of the outer helix, tragus, triangular fossa and earlobe. Ears are not very important in the five senses, they are on both sides of the face, but beginners should also understand them, be familiar with the structure of ears, and generally draw the shape, size and proportion of ears.
