about the course
What will you learn?
This course on Drawing the Head and Features students will understand how to draw the head from any angle by completing a series of rotation studies under the guidance of the instructor. Including the key proportions, anatomical landmarks and planar structure of the head so you can draw believable heads from imagination.
By the end of this course, you will have the ability to create artwork with convincing heads that feel three-dimensional, express someone’s unique visual identity and show believable facial expressions that communicate what they’re doing, how they feel and who they are.
