Another #shorts video this week, breaking down a simple figure approach. I have been working on an ellipses in perspective video for three weeks, its a very complex topic, so I hope to have that finished and back to long form content soon!

Head Drawing Step by Step

For the step by step head drawing, you may want to review the head construction and proportion pages that have been previously posted.  I did this drawing without layers on one sheet of paper.  The early layers were kept very light and I worked on a forgiving paper that allows for a lot of erasing and re-drawing.  On the uploaded handout I have adjusted those early stages to be darker than they actually were drawn so you could see them clearly.  Enjoy!
