Drawing the head and hands. Lumis E.

The individuality of people is an object interesting for everyone, and especially for those who have at least a small talent for drawing. As soon as we begin to understand the cause of the differences in faces, this topic is becoming all -consuming. Faces not only distinguish us, but also talk about each of us a lot. Thoughts, emotions, attitude and even our lifestyle are captured on our faces. The mobility of the flesh - in other words, facial expressions - gives the face more than just uniqueness.

I’ll say right away: you do not need the ability to “look into the soul” or read thoughts to draw a head well. To do this, first of all, it is necessary to correctly interpret the forms in proportions, perspective and lighting. All other qualities appear in the figure as a result of an interpretation of the form. If the artist correctly caught it, then the “soul”, or character, will open. It is also very important for the artist to be able to convincingly draw hands, and in my book there is material on this topic.
