Basic Head: Beginner Starting Point

Basic Head: Beginner Starting Point is a practical digital drawing exercise in PDF format. This practice sheet focuses on the structure of the head before adding features, shadows, or details. It is available as an instant download after purchase.

Created by Mohammed-Saad El Boukhari, this 4-page guide walks beginners through simple tracing and drawing practices. You do not need perfect circles to begin. The goal is to build a strong structural foundation for the face.

Book Overview

This practice sheet belongs to the Art category and is written in English. It is designed for beginner artists who want to understand the structure of the face first. The exercises start with tracing a sphere and then drawing it in an empty box.

After practicing the sphere, the sheet shows how to cut it from the side to create a more three-dimensional shape. The cross on the sides helps decide the direction of the face. The final practice uses a reference list and follows the same process: sphere, cut, add the jaw.

Why This Book Matters

Understanding the structure of the face is the first step in drawing the head accurately. This practice sheet teaches beginners to focus on construction before shading or details. The approach is common in academic and self-taught drawing practice.

Working through the exercises helps develop visual memory for the head’s basic volumes. It is a useful resource for art students, hobbyists, and anyone learning portrait drawing.
