Heads! Hallelujah! At last we leave the dreary, dry, math-driven planes of perspective and enter the Valley of Fun! Well not so fast, pilgrims. We're gonna learn to draw heads right, in a variety of views, and that means using you-know-what. Yes, perspective rears its ugly head again.
Here are some examples of how not to do this assignment. All show some features of the head being unknowingly thought of as two-dimensional, and all show features shown as if from another angle, and many contain errors of proportion. Some contain all three errors, like the first one, with its too-deep box and flattened, sloping brow area.
You can avoid many of these errors by sketching in the centerline carefully and placing the features--conceived of as simple forms, not lines-- carefully in relation to the centerlines before you draw them. More grotesqueness follows.
The last one orients the head completely differently than the box! Here is a reminder of which perspective is which, just in case.
