Plaster Cast Portrait Drawing

Head Drawing
Here is another drawing copied from the book Drawing the Head and Hands by Andrew Loomis. I took pictures with my mobile phone of some stages of the drawing.

It’s fun to draw a page of comic heads once in a while. Just start with the shape of the head and add eyes, nose, mouth and ears. And a nice haircut of course.
