Thoughts on the asaro head?
For those who are unfamiliar,
This is the asaro head! It’s a great starting off point, but it doesn’t look like it shows all parts of the skull, but I suppose that’s the result when you’re simplifying something complex, as the head is. I think it’s very good for showing how the head is shaped in a way that is easier to grasp, but I also wouldn’t rely on it solely for learning the head, since it doesn’t detail everything. I believe there are other kinds of plane heads, some more specific than the Asaro head, or less, and it might be good to check those out too, if interested!
(Such as this one, it’s more specific in that you can more clearly make out the form of the skull and it’s landmarks, but at the same time not every human head looks like this; there are advantages and disadvantages with these, but that’s to be expected)
For a more detailed approach I’d recommend studying the skull along with the more surface stuff like muscles and skin. Knowing what lies underneath can only help you better understand what you’re actually drawing :) anyway, that’s just my thoughts. Thanks for asking for my thoughts! I hope you could get something out of my ramblings 👍
