Using a series of 300 drawings and diagrams, the author analyzes the basic structure, anatomy and proportions of the human head. He delineates the musculature of every facial feature, explains wrinkle patterns and demonstrates how to draw the head from every angle. The text explains how to age the face from infancy to old age, and defines a diverse array of head types by structure, explaining their proportions and the features that go with them. Works by such artists as Vermeer, Degas and Picasso supplement the author's own drawings throughout the text.

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Burne Hogarth (1911-1996), hailed as the "Michelangelo of the comic strip," was one of the most iconic cartoonists and influential arts educators of the twentieth century. Best known for his innovative illustrations of the syndicated Sunday Tarzan, Hogarth broke fresh ground in the newspaper comic strip by combining classicism, expressionism, and narrative in a powerful, new way. As cofounder of the School of Visual Arts-one of the world's leading art schools-he brought his unique approach to art into the classroom. Hogarth's art has been exhibited in many important galleries around the world including the Louvre in the Musee des Arts Decoratifs and Marseilles' Bibliotheque. He traveled the world throughout his life receiving numerous international awards and accolades.
