Week 3-I Human Head Proportion

By Jodie P Panudju
 Human Head

Drawing human head is also on of the

most complicated part of the overall
human anatomy study. The
proportions are different from one
head to another as it might be caused
by the race, the gender, the genetic,
and so on.

Same as the body, proportion is the

most important part in head drawing,
and then followed by the shape of the
face, eyes, nose, mouth, cheek, and
other specific details in the area, until
ears and hair.

 Human Structure from Different Angle
Drawing head structure is even getting more complicated when it’s seen from non-
standard angle view such as from 45 degree angle view, high angle, low angle, etc.
