263 - Book Review: Artist’s Complete Guide To Drawing the Head

In this episode, John reviews the book that has influenced his artwork and techniques more than any other- bar none.

It’s not a colored pencil book either. This book focuses on how to draw the human head, so the medium is immaterial. The understanding of light and shadow is simplified and explained inside this timeless art book. The principle technique employed in the book is called “chiaroscuro”. Which has to do with the contrast between light and dark. 

Today (Monday, July 13, 2020) is also the last day to take advantage of the Face Value course Presale!  After today all the bonuses and the special value discount pricing goes away.
