Anatomy Review: Head and Neck

We are in the middle of moving plus I have a big deadline at work so I figure cutting down my art time to 30 minutes a day for these next few days is in order. Also this is a good time for reviewing the entire anatomy of the body daily, and today I start with the head and neck.

I’ve found that if I draw from Rey’s illustrations on the black board using graphite for the whole drawing then going back over the bones with ink, and layering the muscles over that with color pencil it works well especially with the anatomy of the head and neck. The only time that it doesn’t work well is when there is a lot of layered muscles, which is most of the body actually. I may need to get some more colors for the muscles.

I'm an artist on a mission to do at least 30 minutes of art every single day for the rest of my life and track that progress on my website for all to see. I'm past the 10 year mark and I'm still going strong. Now it's time to give back and help other artists create a life long habit of creating.
