Assignment

Head Designing

In this assignment I’m going to give you a wide variety of different characters that I want you to pick and choose from. You will pick a total of six characters and then draw three different designs for each one.

- 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.
Here are the characters you have to choose from:
- Wolf from a fairy tale
- Boy, girl or a witch from a fairy tale
- as a human, or
- as an animal
- Dog
- Cat
- Monkey
- Superhero
- Mad Scientist
- Villain named Dr. Dread
- Robot
Other than the one’s specifically named as a male or female, you may choose to make any of the other designs either a male or female. You may also choose to make one of the three individual designs both male and female. As an example: you choose to do the monkey designs, 2 of the drawings can be male and the other female, etc. Just be sure that you change the design radically enough so that it’s not just a matter of putting on lipstick and long eye lashes to make it a girl, o.k.?
