Here is a recent lecture on understanding expressions.

Head drawings

Hi,

Here are some recent head drawings and a diagram showing the features constructed from a position beneath. I know this was a position asked about prior, sorry for the delay. For these types of views, I always maintain the same proportions that are detailed in the book, but move the end points of the features themselves (ex. the tip of the nose moves up and closer to the cheek, not the base).

Head Lecture and Drawings

Here are a few pieces from a lecture on head drawing, anatomy, and the development of the forms of the face.
