How To: Draw a head in 3/4 or side view

Draw a head in 3/4 or side view

This video shows aspiring artists how to draw the head in a 3/4 or a side view. Three lines should first be drawn in a pie-wedge like shape. First, a line is drawn from the chin to the hair line and another one is connected to that, arching across the forehead to the back of the cranium. Then a final line is drawn from the endpoint here to the base of the chin. A face can then be drawn along line 1, to show the profile or side-view of your character. A triangular shape is drawn about half-way down the for the nose and an eye is drawn facing the artist to create a sideways view of your figure's head.
