Draw the Head From Any Angle The Basic Forms To draw the head from any angle you must first understand its basic structure. Look past all the distracting details and visualize the underlying forms. This ability to simplify can be applied to the features of the face, but when starting the drawing you could look even further. Ignore even the features and simplify to the most basic form of the head. I use a method taught by Andrew Loomis in his book, “Drawing the Head & Hands”. The head deconstructed into its basic forms, is a sphere as the cranium and a block as the jaw and cheek bones. A Sphere as the Cranium The sides of the head are flat, so we can slice off a piece from both sides of the ball. A Block as the Jaw and Cheek Bones Attach the shape of the jaw. Constructing From Any Angle Step 1 – Determine the angle of the ball The angle of the head is established at the very beginning of the drawing with the ball. X Axis - The up and down tilt is established by the angles of the horizontal and vertical lines in the oval.

Videos Henry T. How You're Breaking the Law Every Day (and What You Can Do About It) In the years before the iTunes store came out I said it, during the Napster onslaught, make it easier for me to buy digital music that I can use anywhere - and I'll do it instead of piracy. And guess what? I did it. In fact now I spend a good bit of money monthly on Pandora One, Rdio, and iTunes to get my music fix. Now for TV, seriously, get it freaking together. So here's my guantlet for the movie/TV industry: Make it easier and we will buy it. Movie industry: Dammit, let me stream or download something beyond DVD quality!
