Overview

Here is an ideal reference book for art students, painters, sculptors, and illustrators who want to depict accurately what can be seen - and felt - in the human face. Through an understanding of bone structure and the workings of the muscles in the face, the artist will be able to make the leap from rigid silhouette line to the full development of the many forms in the face. For beginners, there are suggestions on how to start drawing a head and what to practice in order to develop confidence. For the advanced artist, there is a wealth of detailed information, including special guidelines to the facial features and relative measurements for almost any age, sex, or race. The drawings throughout the book, stressing different technical approaches, will inspire artists to experiment in order to develop their own approach.
