In the first section you learn how to analyze a head - how to recognize the basic shapes and their variations, and place the features within the larger form of the head. In the second section the actual drawing procedure is analyzed in minute details, and in the third section you learn how to use different combinations of drawing materials to create a wide range of effects. Demonstrations, photographs, and other examples are abundantly provided throughout. Paperback, 176 pages.ISBN:823013588. WATSON-GUPTILL
