What is the video about? This video teaches how to draw a head in three-quarter view by focusing on the head's angle and structure. It emphasizes blocking in the face, understanding geometric relationships between features, and maintaining accurate proportions. Key points include aligning the brow ridge, nose, and chin, and adjusting for head tilt. The speaker highlights the importance of structural accuracy over facial details, ensuring proper alignment of features like the forehead, mouth, and ears for a realistic representation.

What head features are emphasized? The video focuses on achieving accurate head proportions by emphasizing the alignment of key facial features. Specifically, it highlights the brow ridge, nose, and chin, along with the forehead, mouth, and ears, for a realistic three-quarter view. Structural accuracy is prioritized over minute details.

Are other facial features analyzed? Yes, the video analyzes several facial features beyond the brow ridge, nose, and chin. It examines how head tilt affects ear and nose positioning, and stresses the correct placement of the forehead, mouth, and chin for accurate proportions. The relationship between the earlobe, nose, and eyes is also considered crucial.

What head angle is shown? The video depicts a three-quarter view of a head. This perspective requires careful consideration of the head's structure and the angles of features such as the brow, nose, and chin to achieve a realistic portrayal. Accurate placement of these features is essential, even when the head is tilted.

How is head tilt factored in? Head tilt affects the alignment of the ears and nose in the video's measurements. However, the speaker shows how to compensate for this tilt by focusing on the relationship between the earlobe, nose, and eyes to ensure accurate results. This method maintains the validity of the measurements despite head position.
