How to Draw a Head From Any Angle | Head Drawing Part 01

How to draw a head in any angle. The emphasis is seeing the head or the face as a series of planes and perspective steps, so you can position a head in any angle, hopefully from memory. These are the four most important steps that people usually leave out when drawing heads. BE ADVISED A full course on this subject is available with instructor feedback on your work. While the subject matter is similar, the depth of instruction and visual production is much greater and newer on Proko. With that said, please enjoy this free lesson.
