The videos above will guide you through drawing each part of the face and head. There are also videos which focus on shading the face and head to create an illusion of a truly three dimensional form.

If you are serious about learning how to draw the face you should be watching these videos many times. You can watch a segment over and over and then pause it, draw, and check the video again. In other words, guide yourself through your learning at your pace.

Be patient with yourself and try to learn from your mistakes. Every artist makes them, I know I sure do. The trick is try not to make the same mistakes over again and again.

These videos are not magic. They are a tool which you must use and use properly or they are worthless.

YOU make the choice ...
