Later, in the course of drawing a portrait, you will notice some deviations from these canonical proportions in the appearance of a particular model – they will be the individual features of the person being portrayed. The mouth is located on 2/3 of the distance from the chin to the nose. Ears are located between the lines of the nose and eyebrows.ħ. The bottom of the nose is located on the same line as the ear lobes, and its width is equal to the width of the eye.Ħ. The distance between the eyes is the length of one eye from the outer edge of the eye to the temple – half the length of the eye.ĥ. At a height of 1/3 from the brow to the base of the nose place the line of eyes, the same size of paired parts.Ĥ. The face, from the hairline to the bottom of the chin, is divided into three equal parts according to the following scheme (they are guided not by external visible signs, but by the structure of the bones inherent in the skull): super-brow line, base of the nose line, bottom line of the chin.ģ. This also applies to work on the skull.Ģ. A line horizontally drawn through the nose bridge divides the height of the head in half. The knowledge of the canonical proportions of the head will help to avoid gross errors already at the initial stage of the skull pattern.ġ. Study of nature, determination of proportions, constructive (reference) points, layout in the sheet. The cranial box consists of 8 bones, forming a spherical shape, the front part – of 14. It is very important to remember at this stage that the paired parts of the face, including the bones on the skull, draw simultaneously. The shape of the head is ovoid (ovoid), consists of a spherical cranium and an elongated front part, on which the sockets, jaws and symmetrical paired and unpaired bones are located. If this material is firmly learned, the acquired knowledge and skills will help to avoid many mistakes in drawing a portrait, so pay maximum effort to it.
Skull sketch how to#
The main task of the painter is to understand, memorize and learn how to faithfully convey the structure of the human skull, since the structural features of the bones (and muscles that are not considered in this lesson) directly affect the shape of the human head.

For a better understanding of the anatomical features of a complex volumetric shape and how to transfer them on a flat sheet of paper, an educational image of the skull is made in three positions: full face, profile, and three-quarters.
In order to successfully cope with these topics, you need to have knowledge of the geometric and aerial perspective and a fairly wide range of basic skills.Īcademic drawing suggests that the artist in the course of the work follows a certain sequence of steps, moving in stages, from the general to the details and again to the general. It will be necessary to study, geometrical forms, plaster casts of parts of the face (nose, mouth, eyes and ears), the male and female plaster head, and, of course the basis of the basics is the skull pattern. In order to work on a portrait in the technique of academic drawing, preliminary preparation is necessary.
