Learn how to draw the skull, muscles, facial elements, and expressions without using a model
The face is a fundamental element of human representation, capable of revealing different personalities and what is most intimate in each one of us. The artist Miguel Bustos Gómez, better known as Zursoif, teaches you different techniques to master the drawing of the human head and its elements, without using a model.
In this course, learn how to draw the skull from different points of view using measurements and anatomical structures. Starting with simple geometric figures, see how light and shadow work, then experiment with different skin, hair and bone textures. At the end of this course, you will be able to represent a face, with its multiple movements and expressions.
With Zursoif as your guide, you can also discover the basics of figure drawing with his other course: Figure Drawing for Beginners, to create a pose catalog of the human body, starting with lines and circles.
