Heads, Features and Faces

This volume, prepared by an expert in the field, is devoted exclusively to rendering the head, features and faces. With its clear, concise text, its almost 200 excellent illustrations, and its overall life-drawing approach, the book provides valuable guidelines on how best to portrait faces, features and heads.

Bridgman being the best in he field, he brings to the subject both his expertise as an artist and his fifty years’ experience as a lecturer and teacher at the Art Students League of New York. Throughout the book, he places as much emphasis on perspective and planes as on anatomy, in this way, you’ll develop a more precise understanding of each feature, the head and face in general.

Mr. Bridgman’s consideration of the head includes such topics as: the head at eye level and below eye level; planes of the head; round and square forms. Four features – eye, nose, mouth and ear – are dealt with in details. Sections on light and shade, comparative measurements and principles of cube and oval construction further enhance the scope of the book. The finely executed drawings complement the textual material, illustrating all important concepts.
