Cast drawing from head

This is from Wednesday's session at Schuler School of fine arts from a cast drawing of a head.  This step in the process is identification of abstract shapes of the shadow worlds on the form.  It helps to squint - a lot and name the shapes after objects or animals. Can you see peanut shapes or fish swallowing other fish?  Sometimes there are monkeys, giraffes, and dancing armadillos. Name the shapes as this prevents you from getting lost in the shadow details - that's later.  We'll see how next week goes but this is a decent first step.
