/ic/ I need your expert help. I'm doing a painting of an head from a photo and I've decided to put a crown on it. But the angle the head is at is confusing me as what angle the crown will sit on the head. As you can see in the sketch I'm not sure if the bottom rim of the crown should curve upwards or downwards or even be straight. The angle that the glass frames go back to the ears suggest we are looking slightly down on the head which means that the rim of the crown should curve upwards (line A)? I've tried it both ways and neither looks right.
What do you think /ic/, should it be like line A, B or straight?

If you study the skull, look at reference photos, you'll know the answer is B.

b if youre looking up at rhe head(which is probably better in most subjects), a if your looking down. think of head as a box or cylinder or even spjere shape and tilt that form in your mind/look at yourself in the mirror and think how the major angles/ellipses of those basic form ideas are tilting in perspective. also do traceovers of these perspective lines on photos

It might not be bait

OP here, the question is legit. Most respondents seem to be going with B which is how I've painted it now, but I'm wondering if a gentle curve like A wouldn't be more accurate or even something relatively straight.

If his head was a box, how would you draw the box, OP?

Something like that?

not that guy but now draw a cylinder oriented the same way as that box and you will arrive at your answer

Then his head is slightly titled downwards. You've answered your own question. Every line should be shaped around the angle of the box you've chosen.

getting a fucking book on linear perspective
or just remain shit, whatever

Linear perspective isn't that simple when there's no clear lines to follow.

that's only something said by ignorant mother fuckers who don't know linear perspective

You really sound like you know what you're talking about
