The Action of the Head and Neck
This is a schematic by Al Dorne, that illustrates how these structural vertical and horizontal bisecting ellipses, what I like to call the Medial Line and the Mask overlap and converge as the head rotates in space.
Drawing the human figure, especially from life is a portal to understanding our relationship to the world around us. It is why we create Art. Here we seek to find that balance between the seen and unseen. To make the connection that expression guides our technique to authentic communication.

Drawing the Head
Drawing the Head
This is a compendium to my Drawing the Head Workshop which was held at the Woodstock School of Art on May 8th and 9th 2018. I used as a syllabus, elements of the Famous Artists Course 1957 version. I believe the illustrations and text are by Albert Dorne who along with Norman Rockwell founded the Famous Artist Corse.
I've added my own observations to this course outline, which rely explicitly on the Medial Line as being the foundation from which drawing the head becomes much easier.
