Now we can do the neck. The first line of the neck goes straight down Column C. Start at C8 and go down all the way to C11, curving it toward the lower left corner of that box. Then on the other side, begin at M7 and cross over to Column N as you work your way down.

There are a few lines we will put around the neck to show changes in value from light to dark. If it’s pretty significant, it’s always a good idea to indicate that on your paper. That way, when you start shading, you can see where to put heavier tones and lighter tones.

The darkest part of the neck with the most shadow will be directly below the chin. Lightly draw rough guidelines wherever you see the values change from dark to light or vice versa.
