This Open Drawing Session is dedicated to the head in 3/4 view. In previous ODS sessions we focused on the front and side view of the head, focusing on its typical proportions and proper positioning of the facial features. Drawing the head in a ¾ view will expand and refine our understanding of the volumes and proportions of the head.

Head and face can also be an intimidating subject because of its inherent structural and physiognomic complexities.

Join author and artist Roberto Osti for a Q&A on his new book, Dynamic Human Anatomy. This latest publication picks up where Osti’s prior publication Basic Human Anatomy leaves off and offers artists and art students a deeper understanding of anatomy, including anatomy in motion.
Osti will discuss the landmarks of the human body, systematically presented in the book, and how to apply this knowledge toward the practice of figure drawing. Throughout the presentation, the artist will discuss artworks created during various historical periods that can further exemplify the method. The last portion of the event will be devoted to Q&A and a quick drawing demonstration.

Praise for Dynamic Human Anatomy
"Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael drew the human body with an understanding of its workings from the inside outside—as have thousands of artists since. Who better to teach this method than Roberto Osti, who trained as a medical illustrator before turning to fine art. . . . Dynamic Human Anatomy, a follow-up to his book Basic Human Anatomy, explains how this methodology can be used to reach beyond static depictions in order to 'convey a sense of life or express psychological character.'"
