Hey , I'm Darlene .
And you're watching a rapid fire art tutorial .
You're watching part two of two .
If you haven't watched part one yet , where I cover the front and side view of the human head , please find the video link in the card and in the description in this video , I'm covering the last two poses .
So it might be confusing if you watch this one .
First .
These are the tools I'm gonna use a colored pencil for drawing construction lines and a graphic pencil for the finalized drawings .
If you want to create your own reference material , you'll need a styrofoam ball and marker to draw lines on it .
You'll need a toothpick and finally a need eraser .
We're gonna make some models with these to help us draw certain facial features .
If you don't have a Nable eraser , you can use playdough , see recipe below .
Another handy reference would be a rottable human skull .
All of these tools will be linked up in the description .
Now let's continue where we left off .
Let's draw ahead in the three quarter view .
Now start with a circle .
Once again , this one's gonna be a little tricky , but it's also the most fun and most rewarding one to draw .
Well , for me personally , before I continue , I want to introduce something very important .
It's called the axis picture , an imaginary pole running through the center of the ball .
The head revolves on this axis , just like how this styrofoam ball revolves about the toothpick .
The axis will really come in handy throughout the construction process going forward and you'll see why as we continue on When I rotate the ball to the left , you'll see that the middle line actually becomes more and more curved to accurately draw that curve .
Let's draw a full oval or ellipse that's well balanced along the axis .
I'm using the same technique for drawing circles just hovering until my pencil movement looks and feels right , then lowering my pencil to create a faint oval , it's barely visible .
So let me make it a little darker .
The line on the other side of the ball is represented using a dotted line .
You can see that the oval is well balanced along the axis .
Draw the brow line perpendicular to the axis .
Constructing a sphere properly is one of the most difficult things about this method .
This one is one of the easiest ones to construct .
If we keep the brow line straight , the sphere can be easily rotated left to right by changing the width of the ellipse .
Keep the middle line straight and play with the brow line to get the head looking up or down the wider your lips .
The more extreme the rotation using this simple method , we can rotate the head from this front facing position to any one of these directions left , right up or down to draw heads in any other position .
We're going to use a different method which I'll cover in the very last example .
Those ones are a little tricky to draw .
OK .
Let's get back to our three quarter head split the top and bottom half of the ball into thirds .
So we can draw the side plane .
The top third will mark the top of our side plane and the bottom third marks the bottom for a head in the three quarter view , the side plane will look like an oval .
The more the head is turned to the side , the wider , more circular the side plane will appear it kind of spans across half of the sphere , draw a vertical Earline , make sure it's parallel to the axis and that each quadrant is fairly equal in size .
We already have our brow line .
Let's draw the hairline which is parallel to the brow line , align it with the top of your side plane , draw out the nose line also parallel to the brow and align it with the bottom of your side .
Pla make sure the spacing is equal between each section .
Don't forget to extend your middle line down to form the front of his face .
Let's make it parallel to the axis , make sure the spacing between the hair , brow and nose are equal and then draw your chin line by measuring the space between the brow and nose .
Bring it down here to get his chin .
Let's draw the far side of his face by connecting the sphere to chin .
The jawline is barely visible from this angle , this side of his jawline by extending the Earline down and angled towards the chin .
This next step is optional , but it helps a lot with sectioning .
So when you start drawing the features , it's less intimidating .
419.049 --> 483.179
Let's draw his ear between the brow and nose , placing it in this quadrant .
Also , it's slanted back like so the steps are similar to the previous heads we drew .
So I'm not going to narrate this part .
Now , for the rest of his features to make this process easier , you can draw or imagine the skull and planes of the face .
If you can't visualize that quite yet , practice drawing them until they come more naturally to you .
It's important to not just think about what you're seeing from your viewpoint , but also consider the sides that you can't see .
Can you visualize the shape of his eyebrows and where exactly you would draw them ?
Let's go ahead and draw those in .
It is pretty difficult to just draw the nose at this angle without any guidelines .
So working out a simple blocky 3d nose really helps try your best to balance it on the middle line to draw the base of his nose , start in the center where the middle line and nose line intersect and draw towards the tip , then draw the side of his nose wrapping around your planar guidelines and then draw the nostril in between from this angle .
The far side of his nose is still visible but much less .
So if you want to study the nose from different angles , you don't need any fancy tools , just grab a needle eraser or some play dough , create a triangular nose shape and add two round pieces on the side .
For each nostril , it's quite sloppy .
But you get the idea , draw the side of his face while visualizing the shape of his skull .
Where are the cheekbones ?
Where do they end ?
