How to draw three-dimensional portraits
A human face is not flat, but three-dimensional. When drawing a portrait in the three-quarters view, it helps to imagine curved lines - levels of facial features. Such virtual lines are parallel in life and will appear foreshortened in this view. That is why it is very important to know the rules of perspective to depict a face without unnecessary distortions. There are 16 types and 21 rules of linear and aerial perspective. To learn all you need to know about perspective, take the Life Drawing Academy Correspondence Course
