Full title :Lifelike heads / by Lance Richlin.

Summary

This book is a guide for creating lifelike representations of the human head in graphite. Artist Lance Richlin begins by explaining drawing tools and materials, shading techniques, and the important anatomical structures of the head. Following these basics, he shows how to light the subject, block in and render each feature of the face, and address a variety of expressions -- from subtle smiles to toothy grins. Then he guides the reader through four projects, showing how to develop a lifelike head drawing in seven stages: the lay-in, plumb lines, volume, outline, tonal pattern, value, and finishing. Readers also will find an in-depth troubleshooting section to help them identify and solve any problems that lessen the realism and accuracy of their drawings.
