Face Mapping

• Face Mapping is a technique used to set up the
  proportion of the features on a face.

• Just like a map that you would use to find out
  where youre going or where places are located,
  you can map the human face.

12

• By setting up guide lines that act as roads, you
  can figure out where parts go and how large they
  should be.
• This will help make your face look more
  realistic.
• With some practice, maybe youll be the next
  Leonardo da Vinci!

Good Luck with your face map!
