The must-have guide for all artists who draw the human figure!

 

This small, portable book presents a unique perspective on the head, face, and neck for artists to study and implement in their drawing work. In this book, artist and teacher Michel Lauricella offers more than 300 original drawings and diagrams. The face, head, and neck are shown in great detail and from multiple angles. There are dedicated sections that address facial proportions, the simplified forms underneath the detailed anatomy, the underlying reference points of the skeleton, and the musculature, skin, and fat of the head, face, and neck. The author also offers instruction and tips for drawing hair that will help you in creating successful portraits.

 

Geared toward artists of all levels—from beginners through professionals—this handy, pocket-sized book will help spark your imagination and creativity. Whether your interest is in portraiture, figure drawing, fine arts, fashion design, game design, or creating comic book or manga art, you will find this helpful book filled with actionable insights.

 

(Publisher’s Note: This book features an “exposed” binding style. This is intentional, as it is designed to help the book lay flat as you draw.)
