Hi All, while been a member for a while I have not been a regular visitor. This is great information and it adds to knowledge gained so far in a massive way. Here's my feeble attempt at the last two exercises.
Thanks Mitch for sharing your knowledge.
Here you go here's my attempt. I'm actually miming when doing it to check heights my wife is giving me weird looks .

90 degrees anti clock wise. Sorry mitch
very nice and clear! glad you put one up Tufty
I hope you didn't copy?
Mate this is exactly how i'd build up my shapes. The only one i'd change is the one on the far right - how you have the two blends facing outwards.
I'm glad you've shown it this way because it makes sense, however it tells me that you might not be considering that you have full control over your heights? I may have said this already, but as a general rule of thumb i'll always angle my airbrush to the darkest source. If there is a dark area of hair, i'll point into it - however i'll let the softness of the edge determine my height. This way you can blend the two effects into each other.
I do believe you'd get the same result - but by blending them into each other there is no risk of streaks etc.
This is an example where it comes down to personal opinion. If you feel you'd get a more accurate result this way - then go for it! Otherwise you can build up all your shapes using the same effects, but increasing your height for softer edges
I didn't expect each of you to get so close with this one when there's all that hair to distract but i have to say well done!
I'll post my answers up shortly even though you know what they'll be
Thanks Mitch, you did mention that but I was being distracted by madbrush when you explained it. Lol.
this is definitely helping me see things differently.

I'm impressed Chucati- very accurate for someone who's only new here. I think you could easily pull off the shapes in this image by attacking the artwork the way you've demonstrated. I'd do a couple of the heights and intensities slightly different but in saying this, if you're using a 0.3mm setup and i'm using a 0.2mm then there wouldn't be a difference.
I was looking for people to show nice, close blends to create the edges of the shapes and backfill. That's all you really need to use when creating the shapes in hair and this is exactly what you've done so nice work
Hi Alaska! sorry for the extremely late reply! yes that will be it for the 'deconstructing the image' for now - there's more to cover but i'd like to bring it to your attention that you have all gone through the basic shapes of a complete face!Thanks for the guidance Mitch. Is this the last lesson for "Deconstructing...."? Just curious.
