Varying racial characteristics

Torch · Mar 2014

Hey all, I've been working on gathering some reference for varying facial anatomy, anything from african, asian (oriental as well) to western as I noticed there's a lot of things to take into account when working on varied heads, e.g. size of the lips, curvature of areas of the face, slant of the eyes, etc.

I wanted to ask if anyone could recommend good resources similar to stuff like 3DSK, maybe documents/sites that show different facial structures based on race from a traditional art perspective (or even photography) would be awesome. Thanks :thumbup:

found a sample chapter (3) of this book which apparently includes facial anatomy with race sex and age.

I got this [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Face-Visual-Reference-Multi-ethnic-Modeling/dp/024082394X/ref=sr_1_6?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1396208669&sr=1-6&keywords=Face+It"]book [/ame]and it is just amazing. Some of the images are a little too dark for my taste but overall the quality is very good and it has a lot of examples and measurements from different heads and sculls of different genders and ethnicities. Check it out.
