About this class

Drawing the human head without a reference is always an artistic challenge. But this class is designed to teach you how easy it is to draw the human head in just a few steps without the use of reference photos or live models.

You'll learn how to create the basic structure of the head that can be used and redesigned for multiple characters.

How to accurately place the features of the head and produce effective light and shading to add form and structure.

This class would benefit anyone looking to improve their ability to draw the human head either from imagination or using photo reference.

These techniques can be used over and over again in the areas of portraiture, illustration, storyboarding, concept art, comic books or if you are a beginner and have always wanted to draw heads and didn't know how to start.

Recommended materials:

Drawing pencil, I recommend a H or 2H pencil lead to create lighter lines that will be easier to erase

Eraser - plastic eraser

A pencil eraser for finer detailed erasing or typewriter eraser with a brush to brush away dust rather than using your hand.

Paper - smooth newsprint or photocopy paper will be fine for the purpose of this lesson.

Pencil sharpener
