Frontal Head Structure Template Sketch - Drawing Tutorial

Jacquelin Vanderwood May 15, 2004   1 In this tutorial I want to show you the basics of drawing a head template. We first begin by sketching a circle. Then draw another line below that one for the bottom part of the head. It should resemble an egg shape.    2 Now draw straight line down the center.   3 An adult human head is basically sectioned off into 3rds. Draw two lines to indicate this now.   4 The next two lines indicate the center of the eyes as well as the corners of the mouth. Sketch these in.   5 These two lines are the markers for the corner of the eyes as well as the corners of the nose.   6 The triangle represents the nose.   7 Midway between the side of the head and the center of the eye, begin the almond shape for the eye. Sketch both sides.   8 The V-shape on the top lip should coincide with the inner parts of the nose.   9 The bottom parts of the ears should line up with the bottom part of the nose.   10 The upper neck area should line up with the jawbone.   11 Draw in the neck muscles lines that approximate the form of a V. The completed template below is the one you should use while you learn to draw.      Copyright 1998-2004, Jacquelin Vanderwood, All Rights Reserved
