Plaster Casts: Planes of Head (Asaro)

Planes of the Head offers a realistic approach for the understanding of light and planes in the modelling of the human head.

The Original Planes of the Head mannequin is designed as a tool for learning in an effective and orderly progression how to draw and paint the human head. It is a 3D map to show where all these planes are on the head and the relationship they have to one another.

The left side shows the basic structure of the head’s planes as seen in a rounded and or younger face. The right side shows a more complex structure characteristic of a thinner and or older face.

This mannequin head has been conceived in the hope of benefiting all artists from the beginning student to the professional.
