Head Shape

No matter how enticing your subject’s features, the hard truth is that the ratio of the head shape and size to the body is much more crucial to capturing a likeness or creating a dynamic impression. When looking at your model, ask yourself what sort of geometric shape typifies his or her head. Does your model have a triangular head tapering toward the bottom, with lots of hair and full cheekbones at the top sliding into a narrow jaw and smallish chin below? Or perhaps your subject has a wide, rectangular face with a broad jaw, full cheeks and a flat, closely cropped hairdo—or a tall, rectangular head, narrow but angular from the jaw to the top of the head. Maybe your model’s forms are built on soft, circular shapes. Whatever your subject’s essential structure, you can always distill it into a simple, quickly identifiable shape in your mind that will guide you through the complicated process of laying in the drawing.
