Head Drawing Fundamentals

Service Description

This 4-day course introduces you to the fundamentals of drawing the human head using the Reilly Method, a time-tested approach that breaks down complex forms into simple, manageable shapes. You’ll learn to construct the head with accuracy, focusing on proportions, planes, and spatial relationships. Through guided, step-by-step instruction, you’ll explore how to map the major landmarks of the skull and features, understand the underlying structure, and create a convincing three-dimensional form on a two-dimensional surface. The method emphasizes seeing the head as a combination of rhythms, helping you tackle portraiture with clarity and confidence. This class is ideal for beginners and intermediate artists who want to strengthen their understanding of anatomy and develop a reliable process for head drawing. The sessions include drawing from reference and live models. We pride our selves on instructor demonstration.
