More Bridgman stuff


A while back, I was doing some exercises from George Bridgman's classic book on life drawing. In going back through my sketchbook, I found a couple of these that had never been posted. And since I'm focusing again on caricature, I thought it might be helpful to post them here now. Bridgman basically breaks the skull and head down into distinguishable shapes and cylinders that can easily be drawn in many different poses and perspectives. You can see how a head starts to form from these shapes in the lower-left drawing.
More on this later, as I work up an Obama and McCain caricature for my syndicate this week.
