Chubby Man Bust

pencil, 16" x 20", paper

The sketch of this rather chubby bust was an important part in learning how to draw the human face. Because the roundness of his face and surroundings were exaggerated, I came to understand the human face's features as a combination of circles. The front and sides of the nose, the cheek, the chin, and the jaw were all just spheres. His entire jawline was formed by three spheres gradually getting smaller.
