(ANALYTICAL HEAD)
JOHN ASARIO- “Planes of the head” was developed in the 70’s. Now used as a tool for learning how to draw the face and head in planar definition. This is applicable to male, female and all races. Though structural the planes are not straight but instead made up of French curves and ovals. On these shapes are concave and convex elements none of which are flat. The planes are next to and relate to each other.

Gesture Drawing: A gesture drawing records what the subject is doing or the action of the pose. It is done quickly, without forethought or planning. The gesture drawing may look like a tangle of fishing line. The drawings may look meaningless but the benefits that you have at the moment of reacting to the gesture will pay dividends…learn to act swiftly and directly without questioning it. –Kimon Nicolaides
