I like to think about the different facial features that makes a particular face look the way it does. Today I challenged myself to make a child’s head from this simple adult head I made earlier.
The most dramatic effect that made it more childlike was to squash/scale the region below the center of the eyes towards the eyes. In addition to this, I shortened the nose yet more and rounded it a bit, moved the nose and mouth back into the head a bit and puffed out the cheeks and gave it a more pointy chin.
