Head Drawing Process
Here’s a brief demonstration of the head drawing process. This was drawn from a live model. The pose was only 20 minutes. With more time, you would continue the rendering process ( step 8 ) and continue to refine the edges and values.
For those of you interested in learning this process, there will be a Head and Portrait Drawing class next month (February 2011) in our Silicon Valley studio. This will be a 10 week course that will take the students through the step by step process and more.
