Morpho: Face, Head, and Neck

Morpho Face Head is a practical digital guide for artists who want to understand the structure of the face, head, and neck. This PDF edition is available for instant download after purchase.

Michel Lauricella, a French artist and teacher, uses concise drawings and diagrams to explain anatomical forms in a clear, visual way.

Book Overview

This book belongs to the Morpho series and focuses exclusively on the face, head, and neck. It is a translation of the French title Morpho Téte et cou and is published by Rocky Nook.

The author works layer by layer, moving from basic shapes to skeleton, musculature, and finally the surface forms such as fat, skin folds, and hair. This approach helps artists memorize simplified structures and then apply them to draw from imagination or observation.

What You’ll Discover Inside

• Proportions of the head and neck as developed from the Italian Renaissance and refined by later anatomists.
• Basic shapes for simplifying the head, face, and neck in drawing.
• Skeleton and bone reference points for accurate portraiture.
• Musculature of the face and neck, shown layer by layer.
• Fat and skin folds that affect surface appearance.
• Hair, beard, and body hair rendering tips.
• Previously unpublished diagrams, views from above, and age-related proportion notes.

Why This Book Matters

The portrait is a timeless genre in art, appearing in sculpture, painting, drawing, photography, and film. This book provides a compact anatomical foundation that helps artists capture the essence of a face while respecting the infinite variety of human features.

Lauricella’s method is particularly useful for students, illustrators, and anyone who wants to improve their figurative work without getting lost in excessive detail.
