Head Features
Stereotypes - Male / Female

Now don’t get me wrong here, I’m not trying to say that all men are jocks, mechanics or lazy bums or that all women are waitresses, secretaries or housewives. This lesson is about easily recognized head types that don’t require any guesswork as to the background behind the character.
- From the following list, draw a single head design of the character type indicated.
MAFIA HITMAN
HIGHSCHOOL FOOTBALL ALLSTAR
LAZY, OVERWEIGHT TRUCK DRIVER

HEAD LIBRARIAN
CHEERLEADER
OVERWEIGHT, CAFETERIA MATRON
- You may draw each character with a facial expression that is appropriate to the character. Do not scrunch up their features or draw them in yelling or screaming attitudes as it will skew the design of the character. A standard (not blank or vacant) expression would be o.k.
- Keep the head in a 3/4 front rotation. (No straight on front or side views.)
- Make each head about 3’’ tall.
- One or two heads to an 8 1/2” x 11” page would be fine.
- You may use any single color of pencil you want.
