Everyone interested in drawing the human form should have a secure grasp on drawing and painting the human head. I can't think of any artist who's better suited for teaching this than Bob, who has fifteen years of experience instructing head drawing and painting.

The ability to draw and paint the human head is a fundamental skill that all artists should have. In this second DVD in a series, Bob Kato demonstrates with gouache step-by-step how to paint the human head using value. He shows how to develop a painting in stages, and through this process discusses gesture, form, depth, perspective, proportion as well as light and shadow. In this lecture, Bob works from life and invents characters using a basic set of guidelines and strategies.
