Facial Contouring Guides?

[markc78]

I've been searching for advanced info on facial contouring & modeling but to no avail so far.
just basically for an accurate map for d&b'ing , also if any custom brushes exist for the different areas to get consistent results etc?


Any suggestions etc re. this would be greatly appreciated...

Cheers , Mark

The tutorial was so good as her sexy voice... Females should do more tutorials to catch the student attention XD

Maybe it's a coincidence (most of her pics are also in his tutorials )

I've seen that image before , even have the book it's from & it's a helpful starting point... but I thought there would be more on this subject available as it's something that separates decent retouching from top level

basically there's a huge variety of subtely differing facial shapes not to mention the varying profile angles etc & although I get the basic concept of light direction affecting the appearance of a sphere etc & can usually have a go at figuring the contouring out myself but it would definately help to find more source info about it...

YEah, the same pic was used by Chirs Orwig. I have watched the video from lynda.com but pesonally, I found the one from sexy voice much more well done. In fact, Chris Orwig didn't do a good job when reshaping the face of the fake blond. It is much better those 4 or 5 tutorials from the girl than all the DVD's I have seen so far.

Makeup books would be easier to find on this than retouching books.

Any you recommend? I've been interested in this as well. Since at the moment I don't work with a MUA just basic makeup applied by the models themselves

anybody got the Kevyn Aucoin picture that she shows in the beginning of the tut? Would be nice to have it as a reference. I couldn't find it

You could do a screen grab of it during the tutorial.
