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 ?
The cheekbone , kind of ends where the nose line is ?
So I'm gonna to curb my stroke inward around there , I'm gonna stop here for now because I'd like to draw this part after the mouth has been drawn to draw his eyes , create a line from the nose wing going up .
This marks the inner corner of his eye .
If you want to learn how to draw the eye from different angles , it helps to have a reference .
I'll show you how to make one in a moment .
It's very easy .
If you have a ball and a piece of play dough , you can make a pretty good model of an eye .
I'm flattening my needle eraser and then I'm just gonna cut it in half , wrap each piece around the ball to create an eye .
Now , you can find out what eyes look like from any angle just by rotating the ball .
You can use this model to draw a page full of eyes in all sorts of directions .
So you can memorize it for later .
Instead of needing to rely on a physical reference all the time .
I'm just checking that all the features are parallel to each other for the mouth .
Let's draw it along the line we created earlier , except this time .
Instead of centering his lips on the middle line , we're going to move it a bit to the left so that his mouth doesn't look flat .
This part of the face actually comes out .
So keep that in mind as you draw , let's draw the corners of his mouth , the size is up to you .
I'm gonna align it between the nose and middle of the eye on the left .
Try not to go past the nose .
Now , let's connect the dots to form the opening of his mouth , the middle of his top lip then connect everything together .
The slope on the far side is gonna appear steeper than the right .
Then draw the bottom lip .
Let's finish drawing the side of his face , drawing a bump right here to account for the mouth's protrusion .
You can make his chin stick out more or less just roughly following my construction lines .
977.53 --> 1045.01
So his head doesn't look like a ball .
And there we have another completed face .
Let's draw the last head facing the upper right for ankles like this where both the middle line and brow line are rotated off center .
It will be easier to draw the sphere using a different method .
It starts with a cross which marks the front of his face .
Since we want him to face the upper right , draw the cross in the upper right of your sphere .
The middle line and brow line are always perpendicular to each other .
So make sure the quadrants of your cross are fairly equal , draw your axis going through the center of the sphere while making sure it's parallel to the middle line .
Now draw your brow line as an ellipse , making sure it passes through the cross double check that your ellipse is well balanced about the center of the sphere .
Do the same thing for the middle line .
Since the head is looking up , tilt your lips in a way that will expose more of the bottom portion of his head .
The head is tilted up so much that we can actually see the point at which the axis and middle line intersect the very bottom of the ball , the southernmost point .
This is important and I'll tell you why in a moment , extend the middle line down , making it parallel to the axis , draw the side plane by creating an oval that is well balanced along the brow line , making sure each quadrant is fairly equal in size .
When the head is rotated in a more extreme position , the side plan can become increasingly difficult to draw .
So there's actually another method to find each feature line .
See this space between the brow and southernmost point of the ball , the midway point will give us the approximate location of his nose line .
Now , we can take the measurement between brow and nose to get the hairline and chin line when drawing more extreme angles .
Don't forget to apply some for shortening also make sure each feature line is parallel to the brow line .
Otherwise the face will look skewed .
We've gone through the following steps many times before .
So I'm gonna fast forward through them .
The trickiest thing about this pose is the nose and mouth .
1253.68 --> 1380.05
So to make it easier , first think about what the Planar version would look like at this angle .
When you tilt the nose up , the tip will be higher and we will see more of the bottom .
We know the nose is balanced along the middle line .
So start your stroke there and draw towards the tip .
The tip of his nose at this angle will be at a higher position .
So I've angled up after drawing that the rest will just fall into place , the far nostril should be less visible .
If the eyes are difficult to visualize from this angle .
Don't forget to reference your model that you made with me earlier .
I'm just referencing the axis .
So my lines don't angle out in all sorts of weird directions , the mouth curves around the face .
So instead of drawing a straight construction line , I've drawn one that's slightly curved down , the more you tilt the head up , the more extreme the curve at this angle .
Instead of drawing his mouth centered on the middle line , which makes the face look flat , the center should be moved forward to show that the mouth sticks out of the face .
When you're done , double check that all the features are parallel to each other .
His eyes are a little off the angle isn't quite parallel with the other features .
So let me fix that you can draw any number of poses by using this method .
For more info on the Luis method for drawing heads , check out the link below where you can find his book .
It covers a great deal more .
There are more poses and it also covers females , babies and Children .
Please keep in mind that the book mostly covers the construction of the head with less focus on the individual features .
