2.3 Proportions of The Head

Ramon introduces the basic proportions of the head.
 Keep these proportions in mind while drawing portraits—while your subjects might not match them exactly, they offer a great adaptable starting point. Refer to the proportion cheat sheet PDF as a quick reference while you work.

Homework: Practice drawing a few simple, generic heads to memorize the basic proportions. You can reference Ramon's demonstration. Compare these ideal proportions to the proportions of casts.
