Lessons today:

A line drawn along the bottom edge of your eyes is exactly the midway between the top and bottom of your head - in a typically proportioned person, that is.

If you were to take five of your eyeballs and put them end to end across your face, your real ones would be numbers two and four, the numbers one, three and five represent the space between the sides of your head and the eye, and the space between your eyes.

So the first exercise was to copy a couple of photo copy pictures to get used to drawing a head. If it is hard to see because the pencil drawing isn't very dark, click on the image to make it bigger, it should be easier to see that way.

Then it was to draw a picture of a skull to get used to the structure underlying a head.

Next week we'll be drawing a skull with the muscles on top, to give further education about what underlies the skin on the head.
