Study of Eleven Heads

Jacques de Gheyn II · late 16th–early 17th century

What you practise here

Multiple head studies: expressions and angles

Start from the skull as a ball, place the brow line and the centre line, then check the thirds of the face before any detail. Compare angles, not features.
