How to Draw the Human Face & Head: A Free 3-Hour Tutorial

Aspiring artists, take note. New Masters Academy has put online a video demonstrating how to draw the human face and head. And it’s no short demo. It runs a full three hours. 

Describing the scope and content of the video, the Academy writes:

In this in-depth drawing series, instructor Steve Huston shows you a step-by-step construction of the human head. He covers the basic forms and more detailed intermediate constructs of the head as well as the eyes, nose, mouth and ears.

In this lesson, you will learn how to use basic shapes (boxes, cylinders, spheres) to form the basic structure of the head. This lesson is a fundamental step in learning how to create a solid foundation to place the features of the face on. He will also show you how to construct the basic head in different perspectives…

This video will give you a big taste of what’s inside New Masters Academy’s library of subscription videos. You can learn more about their service here.

On their YouTube channel, you’ll also find videos of (nude) figure models you can use in drawings and paintings. And a series of non-nude models you can use for the same purpose.
