Scheme of man's head pattern. Useful lesson for the proportions of the human head

This is a rather difficult lesson, so you may need a lot of effort to repeat it. If the first time it did not work out to draw a head - do not despair and try again. Try to make maximum effort to execute this lesson. If, nevertheless it does not work, you can try to execute the lesson "". But I believe that you will succeed.

What do you need

In order to draw a head, we may need:

• Paper. It is better to take a mediated special paper: novice artists will be much more pleasant to draw on such.
• Compared pencils. I advise you to take several degrees of hardness, each you need to use for different purposes.
• Eraser.
• Shelf for rubbing hatching. You can use conventional paper twisted in the cone. She Lego will rub the hatching, turning it into monotonous color.
• A little patience.
• Good mood.

Phased lesson

Different parts of the body and human bodies should be drawn with a certain share of realism. This requires an academic drawing. Also, he strongly recommends drawing his head from nature or, as a last resort, from the photo. Only so you can achieve high realism and worn.

By the way, in addition to this lesson, I advise you to draw your attention to the lesson "". It will help to increase your workshop or just deliver a little pleasure.

All complex drawings should be created by promising thinking and vision. The subject should be not only the form on the sheet. You must draw it volumetric, that is, creating out of simple geometric tel, as if they are at each other: here is a ball in Cuba, but two balls are near. Of these primitive forms and consists of all living and not alive on earth.

Tip: Create an outline as few thick strokes as possible. The thicker the outline will be - the more difficult it will be erased later.

The first step is more precisely zero, you always need to place a sheet of paper. This will give you to understand where it will be the drawing specifically. If you place the drawing on the half of the sheet - the second half you can use for another picture. Here is an example of the markup of the sheet in the center:

In various specialized institutions (art schools, for example), it is recommended to study the complete structure of the head - from the muscles to the hair - to be able to draw it correctly. But there is one little secret here: Even if you somehow it is possible to learn independently all the terms at least indirectly associated with the structure of the head, you still can not draw your head as it should be. And all because such institutions have at their disposal a large number of warders (teachers, in the sense), which adjust and send students during work.

Our task (before learning how to draw portraits) - on their own (without teachers under the side) to learn how to coordinate their actions, understand the essence of the drawing process itself, can be able to see their mistakes and correctly correct them. That is why, we are a little increasing the standard habitual system and proceed to the formation of items of a kind of instruction, which will help us solve our task:

First, we need to understand the process of working in creating a head on paper

And finally, learn how to draw a head without too much strain, to understand the essence of this process and be able to eliminate your mistakes.

Well, expensive amateur drawers are ready? Tuned to work? Then ahead and with the song (people are preferably mentally, there is nothing to worry!)

To begin work, we, as always, you need to find everything that may be required. In this case, it is an easel, coal, A2 format paper, natural, chair (or paper clip is an envy from your nature ...). For nature, catch the restless and proven friend or convince your grandmother with her knitting to move to the stool to you, or ask the grandfather to tell about something interesting (in the process, of course, work). If you have enhanced sister brothers - and they can be attached. But, you should not begin the picture of the head from drawing the head of your beloved parrot ... In the extreme case (well, very much - if the output is absolutely no and next to any living soul) you can use the ready-made reproduction or photo (which we are attached to Easel in the upper left Corner). Everything is? Natura is available? We continue, but rather, proceed to drawing.

Drawing head pencil

First of all, we make design sketches of coal - and let it go not very carefully, do not worry, this is just an outline:

We are looking for the main ratios of the proportions of height and widths - for this purpose on the paper shoulders, neck and head. Here we have diligently work our eye.

Now we need to find the volume of the fact that we made separately (head, neck, shoulder belt)

Remember, as at the very beginning, being still inconspicuous beginner drawers, you worked in sweat over drawing of bulk cubes, cylinders, etc. ? So, look at your nature and understand that it is not a head, but only one of the varieties of form. It is now that we must realize and perceive the fact that the head is an inanimate subject, then it will be easier to draw.

The next step will be monitored for your kind and sketch of this very scalp. You should not immediately draw tiny wrinkles, bristles and cilia - better note that we draw a three-dimensional image, and not flat. And from this it follows that we need to feel the volume of the head, feel all the protruding parts of the face and head at all.

Draw, enough to spend time reading my writing - pencils in a teeth and forward, you must understand the essence of the process. And as you will understand - I will still be here.

In order to draw a pencil's head, we need to stay for something. These may be such points that, if watch, are visible immediately - they mean the most discovering places in the head area. Next, it is necessary to highlight the main planes - they are formed using a variety of shallow mold.

The most distinguished points and, accordingly, the plane constitute the structure of the head of the head - these are structural moments. In brighter, all the cheekbones, nose (or nasal prism - after all, the nose is reminded of a prism), forehead, chin, balls in the orcap. To find the height of the head, it is enough for us to just find the highest point on the skull and the lowest, the most discovered point on the chin.

Now it is important to distribute the main light. To do this, you need to squeeze your eyes and look at nature, then you can distribute the basic lights on the head planes. By the way, if you are strong in the distribution of shadows on the edges of the simplest geometric figures, I will say it in secret that it is quite possible to enter into a cube, so ... and act on the same distribution system of light and shadow.

The main thing is that you have to understand at this stage of work - so this is what the head is the same form in which there are characteristics such as depth and width plus plane and face (as in Cuba). That is, all the same patterns are valid for it as before (I hope you remember, there was a discovery about the active and inactive, distant and approximate).

Shape of the head

Start the next item. In one of the previous paragraphs, the mysterious design points were mentioned, thanks to which the shape of the head is determined. It is these points that give us the proportional ratios of the planes on the volume of the head. If you realized all the importance of these dots, then with proper reverence and trembling, we proceed to their consideration, the discernment and distribution.

• The first thing that rushes immediately to us is of course the orphans and a society.
• The second thing that we immediately pay attention is the cheekbone to the left and right.
• Now the turn of frontal bugrov.
• Chin (or rather, the chin point)
• The angle of the lower jaw
• Now one of the most important is the highest point on the skull of our nature.
• Finally, temporal points

Dumpy bugs are the most convex, according to textbooks, in the width of the bone, which are located on the back of the head.

Well, that's all for starters with points - they need to draw and remember well, otherwise you will have to repeat this material again. And now look again on the drawing from above, see? In addition to points there are also colored lines. You wonder what they mean and how to call them to magnify? Patience, my dear, now we will analyze them.

These lines are called axes, which are quite logical, schematically divide the person's head for different certain sections. In the following figure, already more "framed", not bone, we can consider both our dots and axes.

The first line of red - she divides the head into two equal half, in other words, this is the axis of sytlery.

Blue highlighted a line of abrasion arcs, which divides the head on the upper cranial and lower facial area.

The green line is that divides the head on the front and the occipital region and it passes exactly through the highest point of the skull and through the ears

The yellow line is usually determined by the turn of the head (you know, it is very important for the drawing), that is, this is the axis of three-fourth turns.

Cylinder neck on which the head is installed

And another axis, it is turquoise, which passes through the lower points of the ears and the bottom line of the nose. It shows the bottom of the nasal prism.

BUT! All this is given to you, novice drawers, exclusively for familiarization and so that you better understood the structure of the head. And we will draw on the easier version of the above-described version - these are blanks. So, we draw rectangular blanks immediately in three positions: front view, side and twist in three quarters.

There are all that we need: axes, points, proportional ratios of different head areas and, in fact, the most important structure. That is, as an example, proportional ratios, height from the level of eyebrows and to the level of the bottom line of the nose is equal to the height of the ear or the mouth and the lower angle of the jaw are located on the same line. But here you can apply the laws of perspective: the part of the person, which is closer to us, retains the original sizes and forms, and that in the distance (in turn, for example) will be a bit (a little, dear artists, a little, and not as always ...) distort in size, become less.

Fastening the result of head drawing

Now the final: I fix it just read. To do this, we will need to work together with a blank. Now our chief assistant in drawing is a freezing, it seems to be a template, a certain prototype of a real head. It is much easier for it.

You already draw a person's head, that is, the composition is planned and a place for the head, the main volumes too.

The second step will be the search for proportional ratios of the head, its form and character. This will be the sketch of the basis of the head, our uncomfortable blank.

Now the vertical axis is straight itching to split their heads to equal areas (well, not necessarily equal - it depends on any turns and angles). This axis is determined by the location of the nose and gives us already two important points: the highest and lowest.

Since we still define the turn of the head, then you need to find a line of three-fourth turn - she would be very much by the way. To do this, we visually find the location of the zick bone and carry out a line through the zilly point. With her, we will deal with it later, so so far enough just slightly outline.

That came the line of the line of the Absorbal Arc. Here we just need to use the eye and determine how much the forehead is occupied and, and how much face is up to the chin. Wu-a la! Ready.

Now you need to highlight the bottom pyramid of the nose. To do this, it is better to take advantage of such a pattern: the line of the abnormal arc and the line of the lower prism of the nose shall share their heads to the same parts. But at the same time, it is also necessary to take into account the features of the resulting head.

The next stage is the search for a line separating the head on the occipital and front part. We already remember that it passes through the ear and the highest point. Now take a closer look: at the intersection of the three-fourth turn line and the previous line there is a temporal point scheduled for us earlier. If you have no shape of the head yet, then adjust all the lines with an eyeball.

Well, we already have plenty of points and lines, to get on the marking of the nose, the place for which is already cleared and found.

The same with the ear - and for him there is a place (it would be strange if there was no place, you would agree). Its height is equal to the distance between the line of the abnormal arc and the line of the lower prism of the nose, and it goes through the line dividing the head on the front and the occipital part. Better look into the drawing, I think it is clear than all these twisted phrases.

It remains quite a bit ...

The next stage is to search for zoom points, but since they are clamped, you can say in the lines, it will be not difficult to find them. And the corner of the lower jaw - it is located at the intersection (again at the intersection) of the mouth line and the line dividing the head on the back and front part (you understand what I mean). Well, the mouth now find will even

It remains to find a little bit and among this "a little" place for the eyes, the abrasion bumps (well, the places are especially protruding on the eyebrows - deciphering). And the time has come to look for the frontal bumps (that is, the protruding points on the forehead). It is no less simple to look for them, it is only worth taking lines from the outbreak arc to the most convex points of our forehead. TA-dah! You already have frontal bumps. But in order to better understand them, you need to bind these points to the highest point and to the temporal.

And finally, if the angle allows us to see the parietal borger - the most convex part on the back of the head.

Now twist the blanks, use the lines and points that are remembered. For example, something like this:

Revise once again that. That we have already passed here, and bring the blanks with all the structural details. To begin with, it would be nice, so that you have a blank in three familiar positions: profile, FAS, and three-fourth.

PLEASED? Ready for terribly serious work? Clean your nature and return to the place. Now we will gradually transfer what we learned on the dwarves, on our long-suffering nature. Take a look at her with a new look. Inspect your head from all angles and try to appreciate it as a non-residential thing, understand its "device" ... Abstract from the person's carrier person.

The following task is to simply transfer all the previously studied structural axes and the points to already live, quite curious, asking questions about the type "and how? It seems to be? ". Of course, it is not literally - visually (I'm afraid your nature will not be funny at all if you spread her head and face with multi-colored pencils).

Now that you are in zealous search, tell you something about proportions. The ideal proportions are considered to be the so-called "Greek" proportions for it was the inhabitants of ancient Greece that allocated the ideal proportions of the body. But the ideal proportions are somewhat different from those that every person has these discrepancies allow people to maintain their individuality. But you can check the correctness of the proportions by connecting all the most important parts of the person or the design points located one opposite the other - their connection will pass through the ear.

Practice

Now the practical part is to transfer our knowledge to a picture of nature:

So, we work out the composition, we find a place for the head, neck, shoulders. We work according to the principle: the indentation of the edge of the paper (tablet) in front of the front part (before!) More than above the occipital, and at the top of the indent less than below.

Now we find a place separately for each subject of the composition: neck, shoulder belt and, accordingly, heads.

Do you remember our blank? Now they draw a blank, but taking into account all the proportional features of our nature. Do not forget that the neck we do not have a strange rectangle, it is a cylinder - that is, it is a volumetric, as well as shoulders.

The damper is already in place, now we work with it using the following subparagraphs:

• a) Find the lowest and highest point using an axis separating the head into two equal parts.
• b) Three-fourth turn line - remember this? Since it passes through the zalented point (of course you haven't forgotten it yet!), Then we will have to first find this very point and outline.
• c) further according to plan the line of the abnormal arc. It can be carried out in the level of eyebrows (slightly further) and plus another detail, which we call the breakfather of the abrasion arcs to the breakfast. This point is exactly where the eyebrows change their direction.
• d) Now turn the bottom line of the prism of the nose. It is carried out as in the case of the abnormal arcs, in terms of the level of the nose, only further. Defoche look at your nature, do not look specifically in it. And try not to change the angle of your observation.
• e) temporal point, which is pretty well noticeable on our nature. On the same line there are already three points (temporal, high and ear hole) and it falls on the shape of the head
• f) ears and nose. The height of the ear was already found with the help of lines, but we take the form from our nature. With the nose a little more complicated. It is necessary to outline the total volume of the nose schematically with a pyramid and there already understand the features. But! No form on our nature lives in itself, she passes, climbs and flows into something else. Smoothness, comrades, and plasticity, remember this - here's nose, for example, connects with the abnormal arcs.
• g) Complete the search for zoomy points (yes, it lasted all this time!).
• h) We determine the place for the mouth and in the form we find the angle of the lower jaw
• i) Finally, we find a line for the eyes, which goes somewhere in the corners of the eyes. So that they are drawn correctly, there should be enough space between eyes yet for one (the third eye is not necessary, but it is better not to draw at all)
• j) And here we approached the frontal beat. They are located with the help of lines that you spend from the above-handed bugs to the most convex regions of the forehead of the person - these lines are located symmetrically to the central axis. And they spend the lines to the temporal points and the highest point. Hurray to us!

I think the question: "How to draw a head" - was at least a little for you revealed, thank you for what you are with us!

Hello, dear friends!

Today we draw a person's face. Many mistakenly believe that only selected talents can draw. It is not true: learn how to draw correctly everyone who has a desire and patience. Correctly depict the person's face will help you know the knowledge of the basic proportions and rules of construction. Read the following material and try to draw a face in stages.

Axis and proportions

Drawing a person's face, be sure to learn and constantly easily apply axial lines.

With experience, it will be possible to do one or two guides, or at all without them. No need to think that the axes are boring and uninteresting, they will help you quickly and correctly build a person with the right proportions, the same eyes, symmetrical parts.

In the future, visually imagining these axes, you can work with the faith and emotions of a person. After all, to show sadness, you need to lower your eyebrows and corners of the mouth, cover your eyes, and for this it is necessary to represent at what level all these parts are in a state of calm.

Eye line

The first and main axes that must be remembered by:

All adult people are in the middle of the head.

Symmetry and eye axis

We divide the head into two equal parts horizontally - the eyes will be located here. We also plan a vertical line of symmetry.

Man's balance in motion

Initially, it is difficult to do it on the eye, so check yourself, measuring the same segments with a pencil or ruler.

Nose hair eyebrow line

Next need share oval head horizontal lines for three and a half. The upper axis - hair growth, in the middle - the level of eyebrows, below - the axis of the base of the nose. The distance from the hair to the eyebrows is equal to the altitude of the forehead. In fact, the face (if not take into account the hair) consists of three equal parts, which are equal to the height of the forehead.

Mouth and lip line

Further designate lips. For this, the lower part of the face (from the nose to the tip of the chin) should be divided into half - so we will find the line of the edge of the lower lip. To determine the level of rotation of the mouth, you will have to divide the segment from the bottom lip and to the nose to four equal parts. The first quarter and the mouth line will be.

Mouth and lip.

The incision of the mouth among most people is on the same level, but the size of the upper and lower lips are completely different.

How to draw beautiful eyes

Where to place the ears

No matter how strange, but very often with a more or less successful building of the face, the ears are attached at all in the place where they should be located. Therefore, we will pay a separate attention to the abnormalities.

Correctly place your ears

At the top of the ears are attached to the axis of the eye, and at the bottom at the level of the nose. They can be big or small, highlighting or lay down to the head, but they are attached to all people they are on the nose and eye.

How to place your eyes

How to find out the width of the eyes and the distance between them? For this, the eye line should be divided into 8 equal parts.

Weekly eyes

• Another eye should be placed between the eyes (2/8).
• Each eye width in 2/8.
• From the external corners of the eyes to the contour of the head, we leave 1/8 (half of the eyes).

These are approximate guidelines. Different people have these proportions differ slightly. Optionally, each time to share the axis on 8 parts, simply check yourself.

Draw a nose of man

Also read the article on how to draw your eyes realistically and correctly.

Make sure that your eyes are not too close to each other, or, on the contrary, too far. These parameters will help control the size of the eyes so that they are not excessively large or small. The inner corners of the eyes should always be located on the eye line.

At first glance, all these lines are cumbersome and difficult, but for the beginning you can practice paint face taking into account only horizontal axes. In the course of work, you will have questions and you will come to what you need also vertical guides. With the acquisition of small experience and skill you can easily draw faces without prior markup and axes.

Eyes, Nose Wings, Rot

The inner corners of the eye are at the level of the wings of the nose. The corners of the mouth are on the same level with the center of the eye, or the pupil, if a person looks straight.

On this photo with light lines and it is shown that:

• eye corners lie on the same level with the wings of the nose
• and the center of the eye lies on the same line with the corners of the mouth

Face drawing scheme

Actually, if you will schedule all the guides, then you should get this scheme. You can print it as a sample, because immediately remember everything is difficult and to train a person's face with the correct proportions.

Schematic image of a person's face

Later you can give to individuals the features of concrete people and draw portraits of all who are interested in you.

On this with axes, proportions and guides, we will finish and begin drawing.

Draw Phatepno

Today we will not draw a portrait of a particular person, and we will learn to create quick sketches with the correct proportions and the placement of all the main parts.

Face drawing is the skill that improves with experience. If you have never painted portraits of people important first just at the level of mechanics and repetition, as at what level to place your eyes, nose, mouth, eyebrows, ears, and the ratio between them. To do this, select the scheme in the previous section, and easily apply guides.

How to draw a hare

Repetition Mother teaching 🙂

We indicate form

The first stage is the easiest, we need to designate the form of the face, it is easiest to enter it into an oval, ovoid or other rounded figure. The vertical axis will help create a symmetrical pattern, horizontal - show your eyes correctly.

We plan the basic elements of the face

All previously scheduled lines will help us build a face. These axes should be applied very easily, it is hardly noticeable that then it can be easily and unnoticed to erase them.

There is no special difference from what exactly you will start drawing the features of the face, the main thing is that you are not stuck and not concentrated on something one: nose, eyes, lips, eyebrows.

First quickly and easily mark all parts of the person without going into the detailswithout trying to be too accurate. All lines are applied very easily, so that it is easy to fix.

If something happens is curved, inaccurately, you can fix it in the next step.

We specify forms and sizes

At this stage, we correct the size and shape of the eyes, ears, eyebrows, nose, lips, we specify the form of the face. Correct everything that turned out to be incorrectly at the previous stage.

Usually in books, and I am talking about good books in the drawing, the material in which you can really be guided by studying the picture of the head, learning how to learn how to draw a person's head, a portrait - begins with the fact that first the book introduces you to the structure of the head of the dice Muscles and so on. As it should be, (I am talking about books), that only having studied all the names of the muscles, their functions, the structure, you can proceed to the drawing of the head itself. But how to understand the course of work, step in step of learning? Try to begin to learn the terminology and the belonging of all the muscles, you will not stand up to the middle of the list, or you will be "stupidly" to force. All because along with the book, you must need a teacher's presence that will coordinate each of your action, step-chance. This is the secret of the teacher. No one will come to the head to tell you in the book how to learn how to draw yourself, as it is rather difficult, and you will have to break the education system itself in this area.

I would like to help you understand the drawing of a man's head so that you can coordinate your next steps, to understand your mistakes that arise their mistakes, understand the accumulated advantages and elect the further course of action. I want you to become as separately as possible both in learning and in drawing as such. Then any book you can analyze yourself, to choose what you need at this stage, and even see errors in it. Believe me, I do not at all the super-duper draftsman, since it is constantly not practiced. But sometimes the error is noticeable even in good books in the picture, since I perfectly understand the very essence of the process.

It is okay, there are many books, and there are good, and you can make a lot of positive. But still, how to learn how to draw a person's head- independently? Or start learning? How to understand what to do what to do how to understand the course of work: when is one action provokes another and get confused and retreat from the path? We set yourself to the task: we need to develop a course of action, on which you can first - understand the course of work on the head of the head, secondly to draw, the third- subsequently to independently reproduce the entire drawing process, perfectly understanding it and knowing what you need use. Let's try? Well, we have already started. The preface ended.

So, since you are here, most likely you learn at home yourself. In our arsenal, probably not everyone has a skull's manual, David's gypsum head or a bust of lacoon or similar, gypsum elements of the head ... especially when you live in remote corners of Russia and to the nearest district center for their search you need to drive 200km. ... But I want to learn and somehow necessary. As always, we will go out of this position themselves.

We will use the same path that came before. What have we started? We started with the main but simple for understanding and continued to difficult, but after the previously incomprehensible passed, since the logically understood steps were built. So do it here. No one will now immediately tell you about the plantatomy of man's head. You will be studied at the institutes if you need. To do this, there is this single-name discipline, plants of man. Well, or continue learning itself, it is harder, but also quite possible.

Now you will need to draw a man's head. You can draw from nature, best. Place your grandmother, a grandfather, who can give you time, put a friend. Well, if you study together and there is an opportunity to draw the nature alternately. If this is not there, use the picture, a photo, you can go, but if possible is good quality. Maybe you have a good reproduction. But remember: photos and reproductions are your enemy, and with the enemy you need to behave very carefully. They need to be used only at the most extreme case.

Found natural, planted? Found the appropriate attitudes on the easel at the top of the left. Krepim to the easel of the A2 sheet of wallpaper and take coal.

Now I draw the head of the person-structural sketches, as it turns out, do not worry about cleanliness. Begin...

1. Compose the head of the person (do not forget about the neck and you can with your shoulders) in the sheet plane - to search for the basic proportional ratios of height and width use the eye and check ourselves.

2. Find the basic volumes of the head, neck, shoulder belt. Eyemer works in full force, check your actions several times.

3. Now remember previous lessons. Remember how we painted a cube with you, then geometric shapes, how did the exercises made for the development of logical thinking. Now look: we are not a terrible person, or rather his head. Before us is a form, volume and no more. He does not bite (kidding). At this stage, the head of man for us is an unnecessary subject.

Now try to watch this volume and transfer all this volume into the sheet plane. How it turns out, just let's see what we can do now. Just start not with the details, but from the main volumes and planes. Quite basic, do not shift the form, do not exercise the eyes and cilia, they are not now. You can immediately warn your nature that, most likely, she will not see what awaits you and will not exclaim - "Oh, as it looks like!" - That will not be.

Do not forget about the three-dimensional image of the form. You do not draw a flat picture, feel like a volume, for example, the ball of the head of the head "worst" into the space. Feel the design of the face of the facial part, will help the visible protruding parts of the skeleton. And invisible can be tested to analyze themselves. Try. I need to know (and you first need to understand yourself), as you can see the design of this volume.

If you are lazy to work with me, maybe later it will be difficult for you to catch some subtleties that I will tell about. You must clearly understand the entire workflow. What we do, how and why. Tucks, take the pencils and try to draw a man's head now, we will talk later. I'll wait.

So, what did this joint work given us? The main thing: we understand that to draw a man's head, its volume, it is necessary first of all to "cling" for something, to understand what to start, to draw to draw the form why to "catch" the volume, how to build it. There is something to cling. First, it may be some points that are visible when inspected immediately, their presence is allowed to understand the strongly discovering areas on the volume of the head as large and less. In the figure you can see, as I find the overall scope, as I find these basic points, they are highlighted the strongest. Secondly, I find the main planes that are formed by form of form. It can be seen how I try to find proportional ratios with the help of imaginary three points, you can see how they form corners.

Meaning: In the process of work, it can be understood that the dots and planes are "captured" by "We are not accidental. These are the structural moments of the human head. This is its structure forming the characteristic volume of both the head and the proportions of each person separately.

Nowadays, we are easier for our eyes to be in mind, cheekbones, or zicky points, farther the nose, which of the main planes forms a pyramid (is at the heart of the nose there is a pyramid or also called prisms), the plane of the forehead, discovering the chin, eye balls located in the eyeballs. And we found the height of the head itself at its characteristic point-high point on the skull and the discovered point on the chin.

Well, at the end of our work, you can still designate the light and shadow. So as you can see, the general main planes. To do this, you do not need to look "Vil" in nature, crack your eyes and the main light and the shadow you will be clearly visible. I note only that the human head can also be written into the cube, hence the shadow will not find a problem, both the total volume of head and nose and the nose in particular.

At this stage of work I can still add that you started studying, "prove the proportional ratio of the parts of the skeleton of the human head. The main thing you understood, I hope that the head of a person is the same volume, where there are planes and facets, so-called constructive dots, light, height, depth and width. And if you have all this, you can successfully draw a person's head, like all that we painted before. You also understood that even the head can be entered into a cube, as evidenced by the distribution of light and shadow. So here is what closer to us will be more active, what next is to go into the air. Ie, we will know how the light is distributed in form.

Everything, at this stage, we fulfilled our task if you are difficult to understand what we are doing now to work again.

How to draw a man's head

We continue ... From the previous work, we realized that there are some constructive points that form the shape of the human head. In the drawing of the head they are very important. It is on them that there are proportional ratios of all the planes of the scalp, the scalp is built on them. Now we will analyze them in detail and add something else. While we read and catch the essence.

Here are the main constructive points of the human skull. Let's disassemble:

1. The very first thing that falls in the field of view is drawing, it is, of course, a society and orpads.

2. Behind them are zicky points,

3. And the frontal bumps.

4. Chin point,

5. Point (angle) of the lower jaw.

7. We will pay attention to the temporal point. The temporal bones (in the books) are not considered the most convex in width on the skull, "books" are considered the most convex on width-dark bugs. But the books do not say that dark bugs are rarely "used" in the figure. Watch people behind the structure of their skull, refine at least the outline and you will understand it. You still understand what there are points more significant for drawing - temporal points, which, by the way, are very often located wider than dark. It is this training system that insists on the introduction to arsenal to build a head of human-temporal points. How they will apply to speak further.

8. And the most convex in the width of the bone - on the occipital part of the turtle-cerebral boxes, they form another characteristic points, are used depending on the nature of the head of the head in space.

While these points are enough, you need to work and remember. Further pay attention to the multicolored lines that cut the human head. These axes are divided, schematically divide the human head into certain parts.

We look at the next drawing. Here, all the design points, which we have just considered, can be compared, this drawing is no longer deprived of "muscle mass", such drawings are quite suitable for us and do not interfere with the digestive information. Beauty will be litter later.

So, will continue the conversation about the axes separating the human head into certain parts. We look and compare the drawings.

1. Red symmetry is shown in red, which shares the head into two equal half.

2. The input arc line is shown in blue - it passes through the line of the abnormal arc and the bottom of the nape. Share on the top cranial part and the bottom faithful.

3. The line dividing the head on the front part and the occipital is shown in green. It passes through the highest point on the skull and ear holes.

4. The yellow line is a line of three-hard rotation, a very important line for which you can unmistakably determine the rotation of the head. It takes place primarily through a zick point and a temporal point. I repeat, on this line we will define the turn of the head.

5. No need to forget about the neck cylinder, on which the human head "sends".

6. There is another axis that determines the lower part of the nose pyramid and it passes, naturally, through the bottom line of the nose and the lower points of the ears. She shows turquoise.

All schemes that you saw can be simply viewed. This is for visual assimilation of the understanding of the structure of the head. And below I give a somewhat simplified "version" of what is happening. Start learning to draw your head and study the presence of structural points, axes and main planes and the head proportions are better with drawing dwarfs. That's just now go to our freezes.

See: I draw blanks immediately in three positions, front, side and three-hard turn and designate design dots and axes.

For a closer understanding, you can start with a shield in the form of a rectangle. You can enter the head into the square, but it is done simply for a better understanding of the distribution of lighting. In fact, the head fits into the rectangle. But the essence of the matter does not change. But in the devices of oval shape, it is clearly visible to the structure similar to the structure of the head - in the skull part very well enter the ball or oval. More approximately in kind.

Here are the main design points in each of the head turns. Showing the main axes that share their heads on the part. Also, already looking at these schemes, it can be noted that there are clear proportional ratios of parts of the head. I will add more: the structure is clearly visible. For example: the height between the abnormal arc and the line determining the lower part of the nose pyramid is equal to the height of the ear, the ear is usually located within these limits. More: on the same line is the mouth and angle of the lower jaw. Understanding this, it can be consciously drawing a head, in advance of its design features, then there is if you outlines the mouth, then you can check its location in its corners and the point of the lower jaw. The above number of mouth you are already refrained. Of course, people are different, like the forms of their mouths, but this is the foundations. Far from them you still do not leave.

By the way, you can make your work out of the prospects. The figure shows how to achieve it. That part of the head, which is located closest to us, will have original sizes. All that will go into space will be a bit (do not overdo) distinguish between the sizes in the smaller.

It's time to fix the material, it remains to pour out the sketch of the head of a person in the form of dwarkes, we draw on the presentation, the nature can distract you and scare (jump again \u003d)) items. Who's stronger, of course, do not oppose from nature and immediately compare the drawing of the blanks with a lively head. But I still advise you to work without nature, according to the presentation. Now we need to look for these the most constructive points and axes. The theoretical part is over, now draw with me.

The dwarf can be a kind of tool for us, prototype, template, matrix in a man's head drawing. Studying a person's head can be understood key moments in building and drawing it based on this simple form-blank. Moreover, it is very easy to understand the promising ratios of the parts of the head on its basis. And finally, understand the course of work in building the scope. See:

1. Suppose you draw a man's head. You have already planned the composition on the sheet, found the main volumes, found a place for the head itself.

2. Now you need to find the scalp itself, find proportional ratios of height and width, the character itself is a round head, oval or pear-shaped (for example). Use the principle of drawing blanks. Its form will depend on the nature of the human head. Here, the basis for the head, the disc from us is scheduled.

3. The next step is a great desire to show the vertical axis, which divides the human head into two symmetric parts, left and right. This axis is determined very simply, it is possible to cling for it by the location of the nose. This axis, dividing the head into two parts, will give us two constructive points, high point of the skull and the lowest point on the head of the person - the chin point.
Yeah, we have the hook, the process of building the volume of our head is launched, we lead it further.

4. We began to find a turn of the head, now we will definitely definitely. To do this, it is necessary to outline the so-called line of three-hard rotation, which determines the turn of the head in space.

This line is very simple, it is enough to dwell on the bone, a constructive zick point. We plan the point of cheekbones and spend the line.

In the process of this work, our Eyemer catches proportional ratios of the main front part and the rest of the head.

You can only chateen the zick point, since the exact location will still be defined further, this stage when searching for a biotea preparatory. Enough now simply outline the turn of the head and the preliminary place of the point of the cheekbones (dots cheek). So, we have a total scalp, the axis dividing the head on the symmetrical parts, the point of the chin, the high point of the skull, the line of three-fourth rotation, are the scoop points. We work on.

5. Now we find a line of abnormal arcs.
Our eyemeter should determine this line, rather, it should be noted how much volume will occupy the cranial part of the head, which is located above relative to the abnormal arc (eyebrows lines), and how many facial part of the head, located below the surveillance arc line.

A little effort to pay the observation perspective and the line of abnormal arcs was found. See:

Further turn:
6. Determine the line that defines the bottom of the nose pyramid. It is not difficult to find it, it is enough to look at the nose of nature, but you can check yourself with the following knowledge:

the line of the abnormal arcs and the line determining the lower part of the nose pyramid share our head on equal parts (ideally), we take the basis of this, compare with the peculiarities of the structure of our nature, maybe there may be any deviations (possibly the brain part in nature is large or The chin is too massive, or the opposite is small), and we indicate this line.

7. And now you need to schedule a line that will separate our head into two parts: the facial part and the occipital. This structural line passes through ear holes, as well as through the highest point on the skull.

8. And when you spend it, you automatically there is a temporal point at the intersection of this found line and three-hard rotation line.

The lines are carried out on the shape of the head, if this is not felt in your drawing, then correct your actions by the eye meter. Or analyze- if the line dividing the head on the occipital and front part, when crossing the three-hard rotation line, gives a temporal point, then it is equivalent to the fact that the temporal point will be at the intersection of these lines.

The eye meter determines this convex place on the human skull, there is a temporal point, this is the basis that two lines go through it, which we are talking about now. So you can check your actions at the right time to adjust proportional ratios.

In our drawing already scheduled, a lot of constructive moments have been found, allowing to do the following:

9. First, it was already extruded for it for him.

10. Note your ear.

The place for it is found thanks to the preceding actions automatically. The line separating the facial and the occipital part passes through the ear holes, and the height of the ear (ideally) is equal to the magnitude that was formed with us after the line of the abnormal arcs and the line showing the lower part of the nose pyramid were outlined. There is, the distance between them will be equal to the height of the ear.

Of course, as in the previous case, you can check yourself and in case of errors, correct them. It is enough just to strain your supervisory perspective. But now you can see your mistakes yourself, you yourself can analyze what you draw, every step. Scatter your eyesight more often, see more often on the total scope, the main proportional ratios. And the details will not run away anywhere, they will always have their place inside the main one.

We find the remaining basic proportional ratios. We look at the drawing:

11. We find bile points - now their location is easy to find simple when they are clamped into the frame.

12. And we find the angle of the lower jaw: this point will be at the intersection of the line dividing head on the facial and occipital part and the line that is formed when the mouth is found.

13. I think the mouth you will quickly find.

We look at the drawing of the second. What do we have to do?

14. Find a place for the eyes- times

15. Find Abrasion Buggers, protruding points on the eyebrows (by simple) - two, and

16. Find the frontal bugs whose location is checked visually, the frontal bumps are located on one horizontal line and find them simple, enough from the above-handing bugs to carry up the lines to the most convex points of the forehead. I will add: since the brain part is the cranial part of the man's head has a shape of a ball, then it is simpler to understand it easier for it. We need to tie the frontal bumps to the shape of the head. To do this, we associate the points of frontal bugs with a high point on the skull and with temporal (temporal). So it is better understood from where the volume is that it is characteristic and everything in our form is connected with each other. This is the design of us.

To this, if, of course, the turn of the head allows you to see, we determine the darker borgorm, the most convex part in the width on the occipital part of the head.

So, on the basis of drawing the simplest form, you can find the design of the head and reproduce it all on paper. But in this case, you can fine understand the whole process and in case of failure to adjust it.

Yes, and the light is distributed and the shape of the head of the head with a stroke is much more advantageous when you clearly understand that the shape that is actually going to "lay down" a barcode.

Remove the blanks based on drawing by the design features that we have considered. On the left you can see the work pattern. You can start rotating the blanks so. So far, refine as the material remembered. How much I remember the design points, those and use. Try just to bring them in space.

When the hand becomes a little accustomed to this form, when you digest what I remember right away, then compare with the drawings of the blanks that we have done above. Perhaps all the structural moments are not taken into account. Then "reap" the blank with all the constructive moments, in order to learn all the material. I assume that it is best possible to draw blanks in those positions, profile, three-fourth, with small deviations in head slopes. Well, well, first and it is not bad.

Do not forget that the head-volume form, try to carry out lines in shape, by volume, lie on the volume of the line of the line, then you will not get cut, others, straight, well, and so you learn to "feel" volume, "Touch" His design.

How to draw a man's head

Now what we found, studied on the dwarves, will be transferred to a person's living head. Translate theoretical knowledge to practical. We will slowly approach the living scalp. Now Say Nature in front of yourself, who have no pictures, photos and start working. I, whatever you have a job, I use schematic drawings, I'm sorry, I can not show a photo.

So .... consider carefully the head of your simulator, in all three turns, get used to it. It is quite possible. Now you do not look at a person at all as a person and the image itself does not distract you, you are not afraid. You have woke up to understand the structure of the head itself and subconsciously want to understand its volume. Professional glance of the stakeholder, looking for not beauty in the picture, and the "device" of this beauty. Interested, estimating glance, is exactly what we need.

And now all that we have studied above, try to move to a living head. All constructive points, all important lines and axes spread to a natural living head. See:

This is the entire material that we studied above. All that we did with the dwarves are well-lived.

As you can see, here are also accurately present all the design points, all lines and axes. We can still see how it is formed, the ear height is located and the structural point of the lower jaw.

And now everything is also, that you have been shown now, worry with your kind. Find all that I found here.

I don't write the names of the axes and constructive points, you had to remember what and where it is called still working with dwarves. Forgotten, return and study again.

And now, embrying into the process, I will tell you another proportion. There are two things. 1) the ideal proportions of the human head, they can still be called "Greek", since the Greeks created the canons of beauty, which were just based on accuracy and correctness. 2) And there are those proportions that are present absolutely from each person in the design of his head and they can differ somewhat from perfect. And it is discrepancies between them, between each person and help to have their own individuality. This is when you make a drawing, unmistakably find the proportional ratio of the parts of the head of this person and reach the similarity means, caught correctly proportions. Look at the next drawing, the main, large proportions are shown here:

If you connect arranged so to speak, opposite each other's design or points of the most significant parts of the face (nose, mouth or chin), then all of them will pass through the ear. But these radii, if so you can put it, or are simply from the ear hole to a particular point, just can help us in successfully finding proportional ratios of parts of the head.

This such essential detail in any book to me, to great regret, has not met. At the lessons, the drawing on this emphasizes the attention of the teacher. Most likely, this moment refers directly to practical skills, which are captured, are being studied during the work. And it is very important to us.

Naturally, such a principle of searching for basic proportions can be used in a three-hard-fuzzy turn, and in the view, then in the FAS or when the head has an angle, with the difference only, that in the profile these "lengths" or the line are visible to visually practically evenly, And in other cases, they will "go to bed" in shape, "wrap up" in space through the scan volume. The search for them is just a matter of experience, and experience is practice. But you are already warned about this, it remains for small.

Drawing a man's head. Fastening the material passed

And now they will consolidate the material passed. Let's make a head, just consider what passed.

We work in steps:

1. Complete the place of the head with the shoulders in the sheet plane. My man's head is a little clown in a sheet, it was better to be visible. In general, you can make it smaller. But the principle is: in front of the face of the head indenting the edge of the tablet is greater than from the nape to the edge of the tablet. From above indenting less than below. The shoulders can be completely visible, but now it is not necessary. So, you compounded the composition in a sheet of overall width and height (we use the search for these values \u200b\u200busing the conditioned three points).

2. We find the scope, neck and shoulders separately with the main masses.

3. Draw a head blank, given the proportional features of nature. Do not forget about the neck: the scope of the head is attached to the volume, the neck cylinder is not flat. And the neck is attached on the shoulders, as on the pedestal. The shoulder belt is also a bulk form, now it is enough to just catch the main proportional ratios of it and outline the shoulders.

A) We plan an axis that shares the head into two equal half-left and right. Points are formed by high point and chin point.

B) We are planning a line of three-hard rotation. It goes through a zilly point, therefore, the latter will be pre-found.

C) we find a line of abnormal arcs. It can be scheduled along the eyebrow line by spending it on. But here we will add another point in the point, where the zilly torque of the frontal bone passes into the abnormal proof of the zick bone. It is not difficult to see this point, this is a break of a break, where the abnormal arcs change their direction (see eyebrows). Names from the section of the plantatomy, we will not deepen, we simply call it the point of the breakfast of the abnormal arc.

D) Find a line that is located under the nasal pyramid and we also conduct it as in the case of the linte of the abnormal arc. Check yourself with an eye and do not look "Villy" in nature. While finding proportions, try to sit in the same position without changing the angle of view.

E) find the temporal point. Her nature is very clearly visible. On one line there is a temporal point, a high and ear hole. The line falls in shape, over the volume of the head. In my case, this line coincides with the "edge" of the head, "wraps" in space.

G) We hope ears and nose. Ears, the height of the ear was found, the features of the form we get from nature. Now the nose: generalized form-pyramid. We plan it schematically with a total volume that the nose takes. My nose my nose is quite massive, its lower part is very well developed, the lower plane of the pyramid will be visible, outlining it.

Now the following and very important thing: No form on the head of man does not "live" by itself. There is a permanent flow, entry, convention, transition from one form to another. This is how things happen with our nose. It connects with the inscruting torches forming another plane, which is located between the eyebrows and is clearly visible.

H) we find bile dots finally. I note the points of the zicky frontal bone processes and the point of cheekbone will give us a characteristic conditional plane. Every person has it different. Catch the proportion. And from the same points you can mark another conditional plane, having conducted lines from these points to the middle of the ear.

K) Find a place for the mouth. After the mouth line in the form determine the angle of the lower jaw.

L) Find a place for the eyes. While the line on which eyes are located. The line approximately goes in the angle of the eyes. Ideally, if you hold a line from the edge of the pyramid of the nose up, it is cooked with the inner corner of the eye. In a vibrant form, it is not always so possible, you can check yourself as follows: There should be enough space between the eyes for another one.

M) do not forget about the frontal beatings. From the most constructive points that were found in constructing the pyramid of nose-free bugs, we conduct lines to the most convex points on the human forehead, which are also located symmetrically relative to the central axis. So we "tying" the frontal bumps into the general shape of the head and do not give them freely "hang out" in the space of the sheet. And from them you can already tied the lines to high and temporal points are another plane formed.

And naturally, we support all this work by our knowledge of the linear perspective. Look like I do. If all conditionally horizontal lines are further carried out, then somewhere at the point of the horizon lines they will comply. The volume of the head does not have large magnitudes and depth, so I enter the prospect completely a bit, whatever it is felt. After all, our head is the same form volume and is in space.

Everything, at the initial stage, does not need to work. Let us join this material, remember, work, you need to have anything that you feel confident with this portion of knowledge before switching to the next material. The next material will wait here here - draw a person's head with a simple pencil part two.

And, finally, allow you to give a small advice personally from yourself: Sometimes a strong healthy sleep can help you master the information and "digest" it is much better and faster than sleepless hours of work in working with eye-catching eyes and lighted to the hole with the tablet. The work is very important, but also do not forget to rest. It is in a dream that your brain is intended for yourself and it is at that time he "puts everything neatly on the shelves" than you loaded it for the day. There is no other time - while you sleep, he has to bring himself in order - no.

In order to learn how to draw a human head with a pencil, it is necessary to learn the necessary proportions.
Men's head: definition of proportions

Using the grid to properly construct the head and refinement of proportions is especially useful for beginners. Despite the variety of persons, the main proportions apply almost for any race.

Facial head - 5 cells horizontally at 7 cells vertically. Central vertical symmetry line.

Horizontal scale

1. The wish is 1/5 of the entire width of the head and is equal to 1 cell.
2.The view between the eyes is 1 cell
3. Distance from the edge of the head to an outer corner of the eye is equal to 1 cell.
4. Eye eye equals 1 cell
5. Distance from the outer corner of the right eye to the abis of the face is 1 cell.
6. In one central cell, the nose fits, as well as the line of the chin

Vertical scale: Fear

1. Head: Are there in the middle of the entire height of the head.
2. Hair hair: 1 cell from the top border of the head.
3.Night: 1.5 cells down from the eye level.
4.List of the bottom lip: 1 cell up from the bottom point of the chin
5. Esche: from the tip of the nose to the eyebrows - 2 cells.

Horizontal scale: profile

1.Golova in profile: length 7 cells and width 7 cells
2. The distance between the front edge of the eye and the tip of the nose is 1 cell.
3. The width of the ear is 1 cell. Its frontal part is located on 5 cells further from the tip of the nose and 2 cells from the border of the head.
4. The nose protrudes on the pillars from the main shape of the skull, the size of which is approximately 6.5 cells.

Female proportions are the same as in men.

Draw your head and features - Exercises

Profile view:
The nose acts stronger compared to other features of the face
The jaw speaks no more than forehead
Ear is much further on the middle line of the profile.
In this perspective, the mouth line is rather short
Examine eye shape

Three quarter turn views
Far-eye has a shortened form compared to neighbor, because we do not see its inner corner.
Far Half of the mouth shorter than the closest
The same observations relate to eyebrows.

View of the face
The eyes are located relative to each other at a distance of the length of one eye.
One side of the head is a mirror image of another.
The widest part of the head is higher than the ears.
The widest part of the face is at the level of cheek.
With this perspective, the form of the ears is less expressive.

Face features "close-up"

1.Vide in profile
Eyelids should be a little more eyeball - otherwise the eyes could not close.
2. VID of three quarters of turnover
Pay attention to a significant difference in forms. Far-eye form resembles a view of the profile, and the neighbor seems to be more complete due to the fact that the inner corner is clearly visible. Far-racing arc seems shorter to the neighbor.
3.Vide Feast
With this form, the eyes are a mirror reflection of each other. The distance between them is equal to the length of one eye. Note that, as a rule, approximately 1/8 or ¼ Rainbow Eye Shell turns out to be hidden under the upper century, and the lower border of the shell almost relates to the lower eyelid.

In various angles, the nose has different forms.
1. View in profile
Pay attention to the form of nostrils and determine its distance in relation to the tip of the nose.
2. View of three quarters of turnover.
The profile nose abuse remains an obvious; However, pay attention to how the distance from the nostrils to the tip changes.
3.Vide Feast
Almost the length of the nose and its tip are expressed here. Nostrils are also outlined and accented - do not forget to work out the tone ratios.

1.Vide in profile
In this perspective, the lip closure line is the most short.
2. View of three quarters of turnover
The closest side of the lips is reminiscent of the appearance of the mouth of the face, while the remote side turns out to be shortened due to promising reduction.
3.Vide Feast
We are well familiar with this angle. It is very important to accurately and correct the lines of the lip of closure, otherwise, you will not achieve accurate reproduction of the mouth form.

Ears - there are various configurations, only some of them are presented here.

Definition of the feature of the face.
Eyes are of paramount importance, since it is very often that they define a person's facial expression and make it so recognizable for us. The following elements are the mouth and nose.

Lip line is strictly straight.
Smile: Flex line up.
Sadness: Bending Line Down

Lips - Thin or full?
Eyelids - narrow or wide?
Empty arcs - curved or straight?

Proportions without grid

1. Eye level.
2. The central axis and the level of the eye level at a right angle to the central axis.
3. The nose confinement is slightly closer to the eyes, a little more than a third part, but less than half.
4. CENTERAL PTA line. Approximately one third of the distance from the tip of the nose to the chin.
5. Distribution between eyes is equal to the width of one eye.
6. The rest of the straight lines from the inner corners of the eye they will get in touch with the edges of the nostrils.
7. The rest of the straight lines from the center of the eye pupils - they will get in touch with the outer corners of the mouth.
8. Insittive a pencil on the horizontal line at the eye level - determine the upper tips of the ears.
9.The item from the lower tips of the ears - you will fall into the space between the nose and mouth. Ears more than you think.
10.Shirina neck.
The distance from the eye level to the chin is equal to the distance from the outer corner of the eye to the rear edge of the ear.

Exercises

Well, now let's try to draw a portrait based on the knowledge gained. To begin with, we will make a female portrait - all the same ladies)

First, mark the general shape of the head and make sure that it correctly relates to the shape of the neck. The shape of the head can be rounded, elongated and narrowed. But whatever it is, you must determine it at the very beginning of work.

Imagine and decide how the hair covers the head and how they relate to its common form. Indicate only their position.

Now mark the basic shape of the head, starting with the eye line. Their level and size must be verified, as well as the arrangement of eyebrows.

Then proceed to the outline of the total forms of the nose due to its Anklon and the degree of protrusion relative to the overall surface of the face.
Determine the length and width of the mouth, make sure that you are correctly arranged it in relation to the chin.

At this stage, you draw the shape of the head and face features. Then select the tone range and take the shadows sections.

Now worker over the face of the face, based on the position of the head relative to the light source and the selected angle. When working out, pay attention to the smooth transition of dark varkers in bright. At the end, highlight your eyes.

Your portrait is ready!

Now let's try to draw a male portrait.

There is also an alternative portrait writing method: work should be started with a central line dividing the face into two symmetrical parts. Then relative to it are scheduled features of the face up to external borders. This method is used as experienced artists and newcomers.
To perform the exercise, choose a position in three quarters of turnover. First spend a vertical line on a sheet of paper, and then two light sneakers, notice the overall height of the head.

Specify the proportions.
1.Reate the shape of the eyes and arcs, follow the correctness of their ratios. Please note that the nearest eye to you will be slightly more far. Determine the point of intersection of the long-circuit arc with a contour of the face.
2. Now depict the nose. Sketchy light strokes Try to convey the shadow as close as possible at unlit areas.
3. Specify the height of the ear - with the front of the head, it is the same size as the distance between the lines of the eyes and the nose. However, when drawing a portrait of three-quarters of turnover, a perspective reduction occurs. Therefore, do not forget to shorten your ear and have it under a small angle. Determine the position of the ear with respect to the oval of the face and specify its form.
4. Note the mouth form. Due to the same promising reduction, the far half of the mouth should be less than the closest. The nasolabial fold should expand from the nostrils to the middle of the mouth. Show the pointed shape of the chin.

Mark face features
1. Entertain the horizontal line of eye location - it should pass exactly in the middle between the upper and lower marks. Then show on it the location and shape of the eyes.
2. The upper part of the head will come to in half and take a hair line.
3. Also designate the lower part of the nose - it is exactly in the middle between the line of the eyes and the lower point of the chin. Now schematically, multiple the shape of the nose.
4. Determined the position of the mouth. Please note that the mouth is closer to the nose than to the chin, so do not make a typical error: do not place the mouth exactly in the middle of the distance between them.

Show the sediments
1. Light strokes Show shadow areas on your head facing you. Then make a light shadow contour, leading a pencil from his forehead along the sinylum to the bottom lip and chin. Mark the neck and contours of the incident shadows.
2. Shadow the volume of eyes, nose and mouth. Put a soft shadow of a light hatching through the hair growth line. Then more clearly define the abis of the face. Complete zigzag strokes image of the head shape at the top.
3. Another time to work the contour of the face on the right. Be careful: the chin plot should not be too performed in the frontal direction.

Work over white
1. Finish work with the deepening of the tones of the most accentrated areas. Carefully simulate the shapes with tone nuances: In some areas, increase the contrast of the depth of the tone, on others - soften the transitions using if the eraser is needed.
2. The most accentuated in the figure, as a rule, eye contours (sometimes eyebrows), the shadow area between the nose and the eye, as well as the area of \u200b\u200bthe nostril. Lip closure line, a plot under the bottom lip, as well as the edge of the chin (depending on the lighting conditions) is highlighted quite sharply.
3. Clever mark the strands of the hair, work the eud's shape. Position the position of the head relative to the shoulders.
4. By the end, pay attention to the unlucky side of the darker tone visually moved the hair array of deep into the way, and the highlights dedicated radiats contributed to the face spreading to the fore.

Portrait ready.

Each novice artist must learn to draw a person proportionally.

The lesson is prepared based on the materials of the B. Barber book.

Basic forms

To draw a head at some angle, you must first understand its basic structure. Take a look at all obvious details and draw the main forms. You can simplify the details of the face so that then you can easily develop and modify them. But we ignore these little things and prepare the simplest basis of the head. I use Andrew Lumis (Andrew Loomis), described in his book "Drawing The Head & Hands.

The head is formed from two figures: spheres - cranial boxes, and polygonal block, imitating jaw and cheekbones.

Skull in the form of a sphere

The head on both sides is flat, so you can safely cut off the lateral parts of the sphere. In the profile it will be the perfect circle, but at any other angle the form will be oval, because the perspective changes. Divide this oval into four equal parts. The vertical line is the beginning of the jaw line. The horizontal line passes through the eyebrow. The upper and lower boundaries of the oval will help you find the hair growth line and the bottom of the nose.

Jaw and cheekbones in the form of block

Attach the shape of the jaw. The upper part will begin with the eyebrow line, and the rear will move away from the center of the oval. In the figure you see the three-dimensional image of the base of the head with the front and side planes (the lower part is visible at some angles).

Head slopes at an angle

Step 1 - Install the angle of inclination

The angle of inclination is installed at the very first stage with a ball. Three axes:

X axis - head slopes up and down are determined by the angle of inclination of the horizontal and vertical line of the oval. With a strong slope or raising the head will be in an angle reduction due to the prospects.

Y axis - Turning the head (left or right) is transmitted by changing the width of the oval. When the head turns more facing you, you see more front and less lateral, thus, the oval, which is located on the side of the face, will narrow. Just when the head from you turns away, you see mostly the side part, and the oval becomes much wider.

Axis Z. - The slopes of the head aside are determined by the corner of the tilt of the central line, the corner of the oval and its position on the sphere.

Step 2 - Find a third

After selecting the angle of the tilt of the ball, divide the face on a third. The distance from the hair growth line to the eyebrows should be equal to the distance between the eyebrows line and the bottom of the nose. Add the same segment, and get a chin line. Please note that the hair growth line and the lower border of the nose pass in parallel to the upper and lower point of the oval, if you circle it around the head. Imagine a head in the form of a box. Third should pass both side and front plane.

Step 3 - add the jaw

A common mistake in this place is too long jaw in relation to the ball. Make sure you correctly noted all the third. Note how the shape of the jaw varies depending on the angle of inclination.

Step 4 - add details of the face

When the framework is laid correctly, it becomes much easier to draw the floor details in the right places. About each detail of the face (eyes, nose, lips, ears) I will tell in the following lessons, do not miss!

Practice in hand drawing at completely different angles. Take your album and sketch it with small heads. Do not use photo samples for this, then you can easily detect your weaknesses.
