Warm-Up (10-15 minutes)

• Loosen Up: Begin with quick, loose sketches to warm up your hand and mind. Draw simple shapes, lines, and curves. This is like stretching before a workout.
• Basic Shapes: Draw several ovals or egg shapes, aiming for smooth, confident lines. These will serve as the base for head sketches.

Focus Practice (20-30 minutes)

• Proportion Exercises: Using the guidelines for head proportions, divide your ovals into thirds, marking where the eyes, nose, and mouth should go. Practice placing these features accurately.
• Angle Practice: Draw heads from different angles (front, side, 3/4 view) to understand how proportions shift with perspective. Imagine the head as a 3D object in space.

Study and Observation (15-20 minutes)

• Reference Study: Choose a photograph or a live subject and study their head. Notice the proportions and how they align with or differ from the standard guidelines. Sketch the head, trying to capture these nuances.
• Anatomy Study: Spend some time focusing on one feature at a time (e.g., eyes, nose, mouth). Draw this feature in various shapes, sizes, and expressions.

Experimentation and Creativity (15-20 minutes)

• Stylization: Experiment with different drawing styles (realistic, cartoon, abstract) to see how proportions can be exaggerated or simplified.
• Incorporate Elements: Add hair, accessories, or clothing to your head sketches. This helps in understanding how these elements interact with the head's shape and proportions.

Reflection and Adjustment (5-10 minutes)

• Review Your Work: At the end of your session, review your drawings. Note what improvements you see and areas that still challenge you.
• Set Goals for the Next Session: Based on your review, set a specific focus for your next practice session. This could be improving the jawline in a 3/4 view or getting the eye spacing more accurate.

Tips for Success

• Consistency is Key: Even if some days you can only draw for 15 minutes, the regular practice is what builds your skill.
• Stay Inspired: Mix things up to keep your practice interesting. Draw different types of faces, use different mediums, or incorporate challenges.
• Seek Feedback: Share your work with friends, family, or online communities. Constructive feedback can provide new perspectives and tips for improvement.
