![]() ![]() No matter what angle you’re drawing the head on, the steps taken to create a solid foundation will always be the same. It’ll drop down from the side of the head and wrap all the way around to the chin. In fact, some of the major forms might even begin to overlap and obscure one another.įinally, following the basic construction process of the head, we place in the jaw line. If we’re looking down on it, the top part of the head will be drawn larger than the bottom half. Taking that on board, if we’re looking up at an ideally proportioned head, typically the lower half will be slightly bigger than the top half. And on the flip side, the closer they are, the larger and bolder they’ll appear. In fact the shape of the face itself will distort to an extent depending on how dramatic the perspective you're drawing it on is.Īlthough there are no fool-proof ways of ensuring that you’re able to draw it 100% accurately at these more complex angles, the general rule of thumb is to remember that the further away forms pull back from you, the smaller and narrower they become. In a foreshortened perspective however, the length of that line will likely become skewed. It’s a simple exercise, but this should give you a good feel for determining the size, placement, rotation, and angle of the foundation of the head from a range of different perspectives. The Brow Line is important, because it helps us to figure out if we'll looking at the head from above or below, based on the direction of it's curve.Ĭhallenge yourself to turn and rotate the Sphere presenting it at a variety of different angles. Divide each sphere into quadrants as you draw them out, establishing the Front of the face ( and the direction the head would be looking in) the Side of the head and the Brow Line. Open up your sketch book, and fill up one or two pages with quick sketches of a basic Sphere. If you don’t yet know how to draw the head from any other angle, besides the regular Front, Side and ¾ Angle views – try this as a warm up exercise! This will help you to get a feel for how the base form of the head can be turned, tilted and drawn at different angles. The horizontal line, wrapping around the equator of the sphere, represents the brow line of the face. The two vertical guidelines, running from the top of the sphere to the bottom define the front of the face and the side of the head. To make this easier, you can imagine a tennis ball, with three rubber bands wrapping around each axis. All up there are three guidelines that wrap around the surface of the Sphere.
