Drawing the Head

This week I want you to draw 10 heads in your sketchbooks. I would advise giving a page per head and focusing more on proportion, structure and basic shapes than features or rendering...( See the  drawing pages for ideas on how to produce a finish) Use shadow shapes and structures.
HEre is some reference and some images for you to look over as you draw.  The photos will be in the next post.
Look at these proportions for the head and how they translate to the below images by Andrew Loomis

Direction of head indicated as "crosshairs' on sphere gives you direction of entire facial plane


See how rendering can be done with a few lines indicating contour and shadow forms



 From loose ball construction to finished drawing
