Form of the Head and Neck

What makes faces look older or younger, masculine or feminine? Age, sex, body type, and ethnicity shape the human face in countless ways. Even small changes in bone structure, ligament elasticity, or fat distribution completely change how characters look. Form of the Head and Neck translates this complexity into a practical visual system for artists. Through color-coded diagrams, live model references, 3D scans, and simplified block-outs, the book breaks down the forms that define the head and neck from every angle. Words are used only where absolutely necessary - nearly 95% of the book is visual. Whether you sculpt, model, draw, animate, or design characters, Form of the Head and Neck helps visual artists understand the link between visible appearance and the anatomy beneath it. You'll learn to sculpt more lifelike characters!
