LESSON NOTES


BEGINNING
Start with the basic oval shape for the head. Lightly draw guidelines down the center and across to keep things even. You will erase these later. Mark off halfway down for the nose and halfway again for the mouth.

HAT
Draw the Captain's hat over the top 1/4 of the head. Make it uneven and battered looking. The circle for the anchor patch should be partly hidden by the brim.

FEATURES
The eyes are narrow. The upper eyelid is like a low arch, The lower eyelid is almost a straight line. The eyebrows are white just outline them. Put wrinkles between the eyebrows and around the eyes.

The nose is big and goes over the mustache.

The upper lip is hidden by the mustache. The lower lip is a double curved line with a shadow below it.

The beard is white so don't overdo it, just use short lines to draw the edges.
