When we study portraiture, we are learning the exaggerated planes and angles of an object that we often think of as round or spherical. This is a 3-D model of the head created by John Asaro and helps our overall understanding of how light is reflected on the surfaces of the head. I know of no better way to understand the shading of the head than this model. The first method to discuss is the Asaro head. This as the final puzzle piece that enables you to begin your journey in drawing portraits! The Asaro Head It provides you with a framework which you can build upon. Head construction is so important because it in involves the entire head - not just an isolated look at the face, or the sides of the face, or just features. (No clue what that means? No problem!
