Basic Head Proportions - What is the shape of the top of the head?

Part 4: What is the shape of the top of the head?

Let's grasp the shape of the whole head.

As you can see from the diagram below, when you look at the top from the side, it ’s not a perfect circle. If anything, it feels like it's going to fall back. Explaining in the figure below, there is a vertex on the right. In the previous way of drawing the face, the top of the head was explained as a perfect semicircle, but here I will explain it in a more realistic way.

Let's understand how to draw easily, not just draw. Look at the auxiliary lines that change depending on the orientation of the face in the figure above, and figure out how to suit you.

Make a perspective view in your head

Let's look at the diagram on the left. There are A and B boards. You can see that A is the shape of the head as seen from the front and B is the shape of the side. Let's make a blueprint in your head carefully. Imagine what you can't see well, and train yourself so that you can easily imagine the perspective in your head.

There are three boards and the middle one is the biggest. Please understand the mechanism. Isn't it a little difficult? Stretch here to draw more realistically.

Always try to draw with three plates in mind.

It was a little difficult. sorry. I wanted to explain as easily as possible, but I was told what I wanted to say. The back of the head is pointed. I have drawn the shape of the head in a circle, but if I don't explain it here, it will cause bad effects that cannot be explained in a circle. From here you can practice as much as you can because you can do it yourself.
