Description This is simple scheme how to draw a head in various positions. It's a Disney's method, and it's easy to understand. By the way I recommend to use a model. You can make it from any polymer clay, or take an egg and ping-pong ball and draw on them 'equator' and 'meridian' for see how the face comes under influence of point of view. ^_^

Oooh!  This looks pretty helpful when I try to make a character.  So far my drawings are chicken scratch, this will get me to angle the heads right

I for some reason drew my character with the neck seeming to look like the head was looking up...and thought: "what can i do now..."... I searched and thought maybe they dont have "head positioning" guides...and THEY DO!! And your guide is very helpful!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

It's funny how there are infinite ways of drawing a simple head. I've met numerous already and yeah, they help, but I'm still pretty bad. I never seem to get the jaw right. This one seem to be simple and useful, so let's see how it turns out! Thank you very much~

tutorial is cool, looks like one that should easily reach the viewer, but I can not cope with that which circle should be used to what to make it easier to work on drawing the head. at first I'm drawing hydrocephalus, another an egg, and another time some other shit. I do not know where to locate the nose, eyes and , and where to fit the mouth. I mean, which line is for what and I wonder what is the order . I know that really, I'm duffer , but it would be nice if you could step by step explain. although I must say it is a good job, really

hope U understand my bad english

tutorial jest fajny, wygląda na taki, który powinien łatwo dotrzeć do oglądającego, ale ni cholery nie mogę sobie poradzić które kółko w jaki sposób powinno mi ułatwić pracę nad rysunkiem głowy w różnych pozycjach. raz wychodzi mi wodogłowie, raz jajo, innym razem jakieś gówno inne. nie wiem gdzie umiejscowić nos, jak dokładnie zmontować oczy i gdzie dopasować do tego usta. wiem, że tak naprawdę, to ja jestem beztalencie, ale byłoby miło gdybyś krok po kroku objaśnił. mimo to muszę powiedzieć ż kawał dobrej roboty, naprawdę
