Face Drawing Basics

Ok. So we are going to start with the basics of drawing a face. First of all I am going to show the skeletal structure of the face because that is what it's all based on and it is from there that you will be progressing to draw the rest of the face and then go onto paint it or whatever it is. Then, after the skeletal structure of the face the muscles are the next important thing and on top of that you will have the skin, epidermis all that sort of thing. But it is important to know the bone structure and then you can go on from there. So we are going to go start with that and then we'll do the muscles and then we will do just the basics of shading in and based on the, the structure of the bones we can do proportionality. Which is basically the same in every human face. Like things of course are going to be different but the bones are generally the same.
