Want more structure in your portrait drawings? One of the fastest ways to make your heads feel more solid and realistic is to see and design the side plane of the cheek clearly.
Most artists overlook it. But once you understand this form, everything clicks—planes become sharper, and your portraits gain depth and dimension.
🎥 In this new lesson, I break down how I approach this critical area, and how my students apply the same concepts in their own work.
