2DARTIST MAGAZINE | Art fundamentals: Anatomy of the head and face


Fig.05 shows three head drawings in profile.
The first drawing demonstrates the structural
rhythm lines of the head. The second drawing
demonstrates a finished sketch rendering.
The third drawing shows a skull rendering
in similar light to the head rendering.


Compare these drawings and see how the
cheekbone of the skull affects the cheeks
on the face. On the skull, the cheekbone
wraps around to the front of the face
and moves into shadow. Notice how the
cheeks of the face do the same as well.
