Product Description

Product Description
Using a series of 300 drawings and diagrams, the author analyzes the basic structure, anatomy and proportions of the human head. He delineates the musculature of every facial feature, explains wrinkle patterns and demonstrates how to draw the head from every angle. The text explains how to age the face from infancy to old age, and defines a diverse array of head types by structure, explaining their proportions and the features that go with them. Works by such artists as Vermeer, Degas and Picasso supplement the author's own drawings throughout the text.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good technical advice and drawings, 7 Jun 2001
By A Customer
From the author who wrote the very helpful Drawing Dynamic Hands, this book is a good addition to his other titles.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent overview of the head and facial features, 24 May 2009
By James B. (England) - See all my reviews
I'm a big fan of Hogarth, and this book, like his other instructional drawing books, is superb, covering anatomy, ageing and wrinkles, different types of heads including different racial features, and hundreds of great reference drawings of full heads and individual features. If you're looking for a more general book, "Dynamic Figure Drawing" is far better, but if you want to go into detail with heads and features this is a good purchase.

My only disappointment with it was that, though it covered everything else about the face in detail, it did not cover facial expressions, despite dancing around the subject. I'll probably look for another book on that subject, but it seems a strange omission to me as it would be a natural extension of the discussion of the facial muscle system, and I would very much have liked to see Hogarth cover it.
