This book is for anybody who wants to become confident in drawing faces - whether you are a complete novice or a more experienced artist.

Understand anatomy and form
Use light and shade
Sketch in profile and front on
Draw details such as hair and wrinkles
Capture likeness and expression
The book lays flat to allow you to draw comfortably and has an elastic band to keep your drawings safe. It is also small and compact enough to fit inside your bag and each exercise has an estimated competition time, so it doesn't matter where you are, you'll always be able to find time and inspiration to practice.
