Visual artists
are visual thinkers!
There is a chance you have discovered this by now: facial muscles are just one factor that defines the form of one’s face.
Form of the Head and Neck explains the relationship between the person’s visible appearance and the anatomy beneath it.
From simple
to complex
Visual and image information, including 3D models, photos, and color-coding, is an essential part of all our books, and this one is no exception.
Text where necessary, thus keeping the experience simple, intuitive, and widely accessible.
Why we look
the way we do
When we use references – live models and photos – we essentially try to copy nature. Yet, the key to success isn’t copying the form but understanding how it is composed.
Form of the Head and Neck will help you learn how to break down the complex organic forms into basic shapes to understand them better. This knowledge gives incredible creative liberty to an artist.
Face is an ever-changing structure
Which makes modeling or drawing it full of challenges. Faces are rarely static and, besides emotions, other factors make them look different from one another. Factors like age, ethnicity, gender, body type and a little bit of anatomy.
How the
form is created
In most cases, facial muscles are not the ones that define the form of one’s face. This book will help you understand the relationship between the face’s visible appearance and the anatomy beneath it.
Expand your creativity
What exactly makes a person’s face look older or more masculine? Is it the nasolabial fold? Or perhaps it could be the jawline? Form of the Head and Neck answers these questions!
