Anatomy references for drawing the head

Michel Lauricella organizes the head, face, and neck as practical drawing subjects, moving across facial proportions, simplified forms, skeletal landmarks, and the anatomy of muscles, skin, and fat. More than 300 original drawings and diagrams show these structures from multiple angles, making the book a visual reference for studying how the parts relate. A dedicated section on drawing hair extends the guide into portrait work. Its compact format and exposed binding, designed to let the book lie flat, support using it at the drawing table.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Artists studying portraiture or figure drawing who want a visual anatomy reference.
  • Illustrators working in fine art, fashion, game design, comics, or manga.
  • Artists at any level seeking guidance on head anatomy and drawing hair.

This small, portable book presents a unique perspective on the head, face, and neck for artists to study and implement in their drawing work. In this book, artist and teacher Michel Lauricella offers more than 300 original drawings and diagrams. The face, head, and neck are shown in great detail and from multiple angles. There are dedicated sections that address facial proportions, the simplified forms underneath the detailed anatomy, the underlying reference points of the skeleton, and the musculature, skin, and fat of the head, face, and neck. The author also offers instruction and tips for drawing hair that will help you in creating successful portraits.

Geared toward artists of all levels--from beginners through professionals--this handy, pocket-sized book will help spark your imagination and creativity. Whether your interest is in portraiture, figure drawing, fine arts, fashion design, game design, or creating comic book or manga art, you will find this helpful book filled with actionable insights.

(Publisher's Note: This book features an "exposed" binding style. This is intentional, as it is designed to help the book lay flat as you draw.)
