Cartooning plus Good Drawing, by Petey (Harriet Weaver)

The head is divided in half along the line of the eyes. The distance from the eyebrow it the center of the eye is approximately one fifth of the overall distance between the center of the eye and the tip of the chin.
The skull forms the structure so it is good to have a working knowledge of its form. The eyes, ears, nose and mouth are seen in perspective as the head assumes various tilts.
