Head Drawing and Anatomy Volume One Chapter Two:Placement and Basic Construction More than any other part of the body important that you have a solid drawing the head depends upon a solid understanding of the structure and an understanding of the bony structure and ability to draw a three dimensional head basic three dimensional planes before focusing on the individual representing it.The following features.It is very difficult to have a illustrations represent the basic planes face without having a head. and their relationship to the skull.It is Step 1 The starting point for drawing the head Careful consideration must be given to the is the simple placement.It is the most vertical axis.Start by establishing a critical,since everything done after point at the top and bottom while depends upon it.Universally,the simple carefully checking the angle and then oval is used to start a drawing of the completing the shape as in Illustration head.

Head Drawing and Anatomy Volume One Step 2 The next step is to establish the tilt of the one side or the other clearly. head.Again,the universal way this is done is by drawing an ellipse at a right To see the tilt,we use a simple angle to the central axis of the head comparison of points.In Illustration No (Illustration No.2).Again,this looks 3,we see that the top and bottom of the very simple,but must be done with care ear line up with the brow line and the It is often difficult to see the tilt of the bottom of the nose. head up or down,along with it's tilt to lllustration No.3 Illustration No.2 Illustration No.4 shows how comparing the one created by drawing a line from A these points helps us to see the angle of to C.Drawing a line across from the the tilt of the head.Start by carefully bottom of one ear to the other (D to E) looking at the point of the corner of the and noticing the placement of the bottom brow (A),and the line created to the top of the nose(F)will also give you the of the ear at B.Compare this angle to same results.
