Anatomy of the human face in profile (2023)
The pencil drawing showcases a human face in profile, detailed and anatomically accurate. The forehead slopes gently into the bridge of the nose, which subtly curves down to a well-defined tip. A small, shadowed crescent represents the nostril, providing depth to the image.
Behind the nose, the lips are depicted with precision. The upper lip slightly protrudes, casting a small shadow over the fuller lower lip. The mouth is closed, forming a straight line that ends with the corner of the mouth subtly turned upwards.
The chin and jawline are firm and well-defined, leading up to the intricately drawn ear. The complex structure of the ear is represented with a series of curves and lines, clearly displaying the helix, antihelix, earlobe, and tragus.
The eye, though only half-visible in this profile view, is expressive. The eyebrow above is carefully arched, adding character to the face. Shading suggests the roundness of the eyeball within the socket, and the eyelashes are depicted as a series of fine, delicate strokes.
The drawing is an accurate representation of the human face in profile, with each feature rendered in proportion to the others. The use of light and shadow throughout the drawing adds depth and realism.
