A Course on Head Drawing: Lesson One, The How and Why of the Head
Added 2022-12-23 22:22:37 +0000 UTCIn this lesson, I explain why the Head is both so difficult and important. Body language has a pittance to tell about mood and emotion compared to the head.
So, understanding the opportunities the head provides us as artists is critical before diving into the challenging set of skills requited to get onto page or canvas.
Suggested Homework Assignment:
Using one filter after the other of Shape, Proportion, and finally Position - draw several drawings step by step, first getting an ever more Simple, yet Characteristic Shape.
Then again, draw several drawings step by step of the choicest shape but now with ever more Characteristic Proportions.
And then, make the same addition of Position.
For extra credit:
Add a fourth iteration of shadow shape.
Have Fun
