The next angle for drawing a head is the three quarter view tilted down. That means that you can see seventy-five percent of the face and the face is looking toward where your shoes usually are, seventy-five percent down. This right here, my drawing of it, is not how you're supposed to do it, you're not drawing Max Headroom, it's not square. The squares are giving you the area with which to plot, it's like a graph. The way I'm showing you, all they use is I have it graph because, mathematically, it's going to be on certain points of a graph but the graph is imaginary, it's only to help you. When it comes down to it, you will not have to have the graph. It's just for me to show you, during a situation when you can't turn to me and ask a question. In order to have a three quarter head view tilted down, you need to have the head following these certain lines. The lines, technically, are going to make a square. If you simplify it to it's easiest way of thinking about it, it needs to fit into this square.
