Mastering Form Sketching a Girl's Head

Hi fellow artists,
Welcome to the second video in my Form Principle series! In this lesson, we'll focus on drawing a girl's head. We'll start with a loose and sketchy drawing, keeping it flexible so we can easily make corrections along the way. As we progress, we'll refine our sketch into a semi-finished drawing that captures form and looks realistic.
Throughout the video, I'll share tips and techniques to help you improve your drawing skills and create more lifelike portraits. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, this lesson will provide valuable insights into the form principle.

Happy drawing!

Thank you, Mr. Coxon, for choosing this gorgeous woman as our model today. She would be intimidating for a new sketch student as myself but as you have broken the process down, not so intimidating. I reviewed your last post on form yesterday and found it to be very helpful. May I ask if you would elaborate on the plains of the face one day. Thank you for teaching Sketching on line, my home is in the USA so this is a great opportunity for me. All the best, Lindsay

Thank you for your comment Lindsay. Yes, I will be making a video about the planes of the face thank you for requesting. As I said in the video every subject is a challenge for the artist. In this case, how to get the mass, the form, and the pattern of the model's beautiful hair. I started to get it when I went into right brain mode. It's hard to explain but you kind of forget about the anxieties (intimidation) and just "fall in". I would have loved to have spent a couple of hours on this but the video would have been way too long. Cheers, and just keep drawing!
