Welcome to the Head Drawing and Construction course! Here, I'll walk you through the basics of drawing the human head, step by step. This course is for both beginners and seasoned artists, focusing on fundamental techniques of head construction—from posing and proportions to sculpting detailed facial features.

In this course, we’ll start with the simple structures like the skull and jaw and move on to more complex parts, treating each as a mini sculpture. I use easy-to-understand proportional systems—like dividing things into halves and thirds—that you can mix with other methods you might know. This approach makes learning easier and lets you tweak things to suit your style.

By the end, you’ll know how to build up a head from the basic shapes to the final expressive features. You’ll get better at understanding light, shadow, and form, key for creating characters and realistic drawings. Whether you’re looking to up your painting game or create new characters, this course provides the tools and insights to improve your art. Join me in this course to change how you approach head drawing and broaden your artistic skills.

Who am I?​

I'm Steven Michael Hampton, and I've been teaching drawing and anatomy for 25 years. I've worked with Art Center, Anatomy Tools, LCAD, Blizzard Entertainment, and Lucas Film. Drawing has been my life’s passion, and I've approached it as a technician/illustrator, a fine artist, and an art historian. I'm intrigued by how the technical aspects of drawing support both entertainment and fine art conceptual practices, and how drawing, often seen as a lesser genre, fits into art history. I've earned degrees in illustration, fine art, and art history, and I'm close to finishing my PhD.

What You Will Learn:​

1. Gesture and Abstraction
   Master the initial steps to quickly sketch the head in any position with ease and fluidity.
2. Simplified Construction and Invention
   Learn an easy-to-remember method for identifying key landmarks and facial proportions. This will help you accurately construct heads from both reference and imagination.
3. Constructing the Features
   Discover simple sculptural shapes for the eyes, nose, brow, and lips. These shapes will fit seamlessly over the foundational forms of the skull and jaw.
4. Flexible Methods
   Explore user-friendly techniques, like using halves and thirds, that are compatible with other head-drawing approaches.
5. Basic Facial Anatomy
   Understand the anatomy of the skull and the essential facial muscles that influence the structure of the face.
6. Finishing Touches and Adaptation
   Elevate your head drawings with shading techniques and tips on adapting these methods to create unique character designs.

Having this course along with his figure construction course would be amazing. I hope this one gets upvoted.

[Rem]

Hi! I would like to contribute if it is still relevant, I do have credits, could somebody help on how to pay, thanks.

 

[Anongirl]

The other Michael Hampton course was officially put up, now I'm hoping that this course isn't too far off from becoming official too. It would be a great course to have alongside the "Introduction to Figure Construction" he did. I'm hoping for the best and more upvotes!

 

[boredpanda]

I'd be willing to buy both of Michael Hampton's courses - if they are provided in a discounted bundle. Admin, please make it happen.

nice!!!! love this course, thank you!

 

[Rem]

I want to contribute, but there are not enough credits(( (12.90), could somebody give a few(if it's possible), it would be much appreciated!

 

[Stormbreaker]

Its saying only 1/10 backed. It said that before I backed it, so why has this not changed to 2/10??

 

[VUnicorn]

The counter for backers only reflects users from the primary list, not the additional list. Even though you backed the project, if you're on the additional list, it won't count towards the 1/10 or 2/10 shown.

During the GB payment stage, users cannot opt out of joining the primary list, which is a specific behavior of our platform.

Rest assured, your backing is still valid.

 

[Stormbreaker]

Ok, thanks. So do you have enough backers for this yet?
