Restorative Art
Horizontally, the face is divided by 8 lines which creatd 6 special zones.
1. Divide face into 2 equal 1/2 by drawing a line at the: 1. vertex, top, of the cranium 2. The line of the eye closure, 3. Base of the chin 2. Divide the face into 3 equal part by drawing lines through the: 1. hairline 2. eyebrows 3. base of the nose 4. base of the chin 3. Divide the are between the base of the nose and the base of the chin into 3 equal part by drawing lines through: 1. base of the nose 2. line of the lip closure 3. top of the chin 4. base of the chin.
Vertical lines are used to determine the width of head feature by using the width of the eye as a standard of measurement.
1. Draw a line down from the medial corner of each eye. This line will extend to the corner of the wing of the nose. 2. Extend a line down from the lateral corner of each eye. This line will extend to the sides of the face. 3. Extend a line down from the middle of the eye. This line will extend to the corner of the mouth.
