Overview

Most artists quietly avoid drawing the head. I did too — for years.

Maybe you can draw dynamic, gestural figures… but the moment you get to the head, it becomes guesswork. So you crop it out, keep it vague, and hide your lack of knowledge. I know that move, because I made it for longer than I'd like to admit.

A while ago I decided to actually fix it — to stop avoiding the head and understand it properly. This 10-week course is everything I learned, broken into simple, practical steps.

Over 10 weeks, we'll work through:

  • The structure of the skull — the foundation everything sits on
  • The essential surface planes that make a head read as solid and three-dimensional
  • The individual facial features, one at a time, until they feel familiar

By the end, you won't just be able to draw heads with confidence — you'll understand them well enough to invent them: to design and draw heads from imagination, from any angle.

No more cropping it out. No more hiding.
