Inclined head proportions By Alexander Cherkov, from the book Introduction to the World of Art "Sculpture, painting, drawing and more"
The effect of the angle of view
It is important to understand one thing about the proportions of the human head. In contrast to the face of people fromPrevious examples, Most of the faces of the people we see are not completely frontal. We see the face at different angles of view and from each angle of view head proportions vary at an angle.
The illustration in front of you illustrates what happens to the parallels and meridians as the earth rotates. The same thing happens to facial lines when you turn your head - they look like arches.
Draw some faces of people from different angles using charcoal or a pencil for drawing and erasing charcoal.
Explanation of tilt proportions
Use the main guidelines to determine the rounding of the lines at the angle at which the particular head is tilted. The first line is the vertical line that crosses the two circles. The second line is the midline of the first line, out the head in two. On this line are the eyes. After marking these main lines, as illustrated in the pictures above, draw additional guides according toStages of schema construction Head by proportions.
The additional lines, the nose, mouth, etc. line are rounded together with the first 2 lines in the same way, since they are parallel at a right front angle. Once you have created a tilted head diagram, move on to working on details and adding color ratings to volume expression by light and shadow.
Remember that the lines are total guides, and there is no need for the final drawing. Be sure to draw them without applying pressure to the pencil and engraving on the paper, so that at the end you can delete them or blur them.
