Fashion Illustration Head Perspective: Tilted Back

With this angle of the head, you're going to have the head bent back. And since I have said this a million times, you're showing something, you're rendering in 2D, what in reality is 3. That right there presents your first challenge, your very first hurdle to overcome. Is that how do you take out a whole dimension. How do add a whole dimension? That is how the designer has to think. Because otherwise your clothes aren't ever going to make any impression on anybody if they just see in paper. That's why we use shading. Shading show dimension. Shading shows that it is actually going to be a 3D rendering. With the head bent back, you have to show it in angles. Angles aren't as easy to draw 2 dimensionally as you would think. That's why I have here, these lines. These are my lines showing that, the arcs show, boom, boom, boom, boom. Think of it like radio waves. This shows what the lips, the nose and the eyes and the lines that they need to be on, in order for the head to be bent back.
