A photoshop tutorial on how to create a model Iron Man head, based on Iron Man Movie 2008.

Create a new file (File>New) of 1280x1024 px and 72 dpi. Using the Paint Bucket Tool (G), fill the new file with black color.

Let’s trace a central axe out of the line that may included by clicking the left mouse’s button and then draw the horizontal lines above for the corresponding proportion. If the marking is not visible, let’s make it visible by pressing the combination of buttons CTRL+;.
