Figure and portrait drawing are traditionally recognised as a focus for artists because of the sheer range of elements covered from proportioning to emotive connection. This is why many artists practise life drawing all their lives! there is always something new to learn! 

Head foreshortening refers to the challenge of capturing heads from various angles, as they can move in multiple directions. Ever drawn a face at an angle and wondered how to place the eyes? the nose? the mouth?

Following on from our basic Face Alignments video, this drawing video will show you step by step how to construct a face at different angles. A useful set of markers to enable you to draw from life.
