D R AW I N G P R O G R A M Head Drawing Phase III: 5-Minute Quick Sketches–Male

OVERVIEW The five-minute head quick sketch can be likened to stretching before you go for a long run. This is the time period our students at Watts Atelier use to do their warm ups before going into a two-anda-half-hour head drawing. Emphasis will be placed on the art of vignetting, basic composition, edge mapping and again dexterity development. This is one of my favorites.

ASSIGNMENT: 5-MINUTE QUICK SKETCHES–MALE

In this lesson we will approach the head using a 5-minute time constraint. The goal is to arrange all four heads into a composition. Part 1: Watch my video demonstration. Part 2 Look over the PDFs and read over the tips and procedures. Part 3: You can work from my images first and then try them from the photos as well. Tip: Feel free to create your own arrangements on the page. Simply use mine as a springboard. Part 4: Do these several times if necessary. Make sure to time yourself and vary the size of your drawings so you don’t become too formulaic. Note: 5-minute head quick sketching is used at our atelier as a warm up before we get into our longer efforts. Think of it as stretching before a long run.
