And if you're above someone then the reverse happens. These three lines move down, shorten, the chin disappears as the facial column falls away, and you see most of the cranium.pic.twitter.com/UZHJDGe28k

But, she only knew the "eyes are in the middle formula", and she was 1' shorter than me, so literally every view of the model's head was below or straight on for her, but for me was more above. BUT AS A TRAINED ARTIST SHE HAD NO IDEA SHE DID THIS. In fact, she did worse.

See, she would sit a look at people like this, where their foreheads should be very short and you can see under the chin. But, this is a terrible view of a person in the head. In the eyes, nose and mouth it's very dramatic, and she really wanted to keep those in the center, so.pic.twitter.com/aTh9JEa3kM

She would do these paintings where, the face is tilted up, with dramatic under views, but the *head* was facing you, so you didn't see under the chin, the forehead was elongated, and the ears were in front. That let her frontalize/centralize the features while tilting them back.pic.twitter.com/RX7Syi1e1L

What was crazy is she was so good at the realism that I didn't notice she was doing this until I literally took photos of her paintings and drew lines on them like in this blog post. Your brain is so bad at seeing faces realistically that if they're just a little close they workpic.twitter.com/rvcITY4trF

Hmm.. a number of distances in this seem to point to that it's not 'straight on' and I don't understand the thing about the ears given this.. It still looks right to me?

Try to replicate this with your phone. Point the camera straight and nose straight then see if you capture the side of the head and how symmetrical the ears are. This nose and eyes are right at you, pupils center, but head is rotated like 15 degrees to his right.

Also, look at it in the picture frame. If the eyes and mouth corners are dead center and equal distance and pointed at you, the head silhouette should be a perfect cut out relative to the frame.

For the record, I'm not saying "wrong" I'm telling you what *I* see, because i struggle with this. Seems: The center of the nose is not center, you can see the blue line. The similar areas on either side aren't equal either - diff areas, not even the eyes.pic.twitter.com/BxjplL6LKR

Replicate it with a camera then using your own face. I think your confusing “nose in center” with “nose pointed away from center” and alos the direction of the light causing a shadow makes you think the nose is turned but it’s just the light is on the side.

Selfie camera is always garbage butnif you screenshot with the composition markers on the iris straight then you can’t see the ears much. To get that much ear *and* put the eyes center the nose has to move over a lot. One more thing...pic.twitter.com/4DWOTtOR4E

  You’re drawing triangles and squares but that’s not measuring. Measure the real distance from center of nose to either side of the inner rectangle and remember we’re talking cm or mm off make a difference. Nose tip 1 cm left can change the whole face perspective.
