Course Overview:

In this transformative course, you will delve into the intricate process of drawing the human head through both theoretical understanding and practical application. We'll begin by breaking down the complexities of the face into its individual components – eyes, nose, lips, and ears. Each feature is meticulously covered in four dedicated chapters, ensuring you master each form both independently and as part of the whole.

Key Focus Areas:

• Chapter 4: The Ear – Discover the anatomical features of the ear and techniques to draw it accurately in various positions.

As you progress, the course will guide you through achieving accurate head proportions and symmetry. You'll learn to recognize and apply these principles in three different views (frontal, three-quarter, and profile), ensuring your drawings are both anatomically correct and aesthetically pleasing.
