About the Author

BURNE HOGARTH (1911–1996), hailed as the “Michaelangelo of the comic strip,” was one of the most iconic cartoonists and influential arts educators of the twentieth century and remains so today. After attending the Chicago Art Institute and Academy of Fine Arts at the age of fifteen, Hogarth began an illustrious career in arts education, fine arts, illustration, advertising, and comics, and became recognized as one of the earliest creators of the graphic novel. 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. His passionate lectures on anatomy and art history formed the foundation for The Burne Hogarth®Dynamic Drawing Series that continues to teach and influence artists and animators worldwide.
Hogarth’s art has been exhibited in many important galleries around the world including the Louvre in the Museé des Arts Décoratifs and Marseilles’ Bibliothèque. He traveled the world throughout his life receiving numerous international awards and accolades.

Invaluable Resource!

Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2018

Verified Purchase

This book is heavily focused on understanding fundamental anatomy which makes it easy to understand and then apply to my drawings! Studying it has immeasurably improved the accuracy and realism in my drawings in a relatively short period of time. Like most things in life, practicing consistently is imperative for improving one's technique and critical eye but this reference book has speeded my journey with positive results! I highly recommend this book for anyone seeking to draw the human head better tomorrow than they can draw it today.

Must-have if you draw Faces

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2020

Love this book! Been using Hogarth's books as reference since my teens. Now my daughter uses them. Her children probably will too. This book shows you everything you need to know about drawing the human head in any position, and it covers how to represent ages and races as well. This one is a must-have! Book arrived much sooner than expected and in great condition.

Crazy, Sexy, Cool. I have drawn for many years and am deeply ashamed that this is my first Hogarth book. He adds his own style, yet reminds you of principles. His style is worth copying while you develop your own. His work is classic. Get this one, Andrew Loomis, Jack Hamm, Betty Edwards, David H. Ross, and perhaps Douglas R. Graves to tell you it's ok to have a step by step approach; and then all the others are for fun-zies, fine-tuning your approach, fleshing out your ideas on portrait drawing. These books are the core standards in my humble opinion.

Maybe 3-1/2 stars... A popular, intermediate-level effort- It's definitely great for memory drawing, and it's recommended mainly for this reason...

In recent decades there have been 3 main teachers in learning to draw heads from memory. For cube-based construction we have George Bridgman . For ball/sphere-based construction we have Andrew Loomis . And for oval/ellipse-based construction, we have the famous teacher of the Dynamic Drawing series- comicbook artist Burne Hogarth. Many of today's Japanese animation & comicbook instructionals are using some of these very same principles, along with some of the teachings by the Famous Artists School. My current interest is in oval & cube-based construction, and it's exclusively *oval-based* construction that is emphasized in this book.
For me, the *best* section in this book is the 2nd of its 6 sections- which is oval-construction simplified. It's just 21 pages out this book's 160- but it's actually worth getting if you're interested in drawing from memory. The rest of the book, in my opinion, is mainly filler- to justify an entire book on this subject. In fact, Burne Hogarth's 1st book, Dynamic Anatomy, gives us a *very* brief intro into this exact same oval-based construction, and I think many people will prefer getting Dynamic Anatomy for this reason. I highly recommend getting the 1990 printing *original* version of Dynamic Anatomy - since I'm not a fan of the new, 'revised and expanded' version available today.

Really, the *main* sections in this book that seem interesting to me are that 2nd, 5th, and maybe 6th sections. In the 5th, many different head-types are depicted and compared, including about 30 specific ethnicities- giving this book a somewhat 'international' feel. The 6th section is a 'gallery' of heads as shown in ancient sculpture, as well as more modern western art. It's interesting information overall; just not really necessary in learning to draw heads from memory. In short: For *beginners*, I highly recommend getting Drawing the Head and Figure by Jack Hamm before getting this. For everyone else, this book is *moderately* recommended, although I greatly prefer Dynamic Anatomy.
P.S. For photo-reference of different ethnicities, check out Facial Expressions: A Visual Reference For Artists; also here on Amazon!

It helped me

Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2013

I found this book particularly helpful in helping visualize bulk and planes of the head. A lot of people don't like the style of the drawing, but I think that shouldn't matter too much because the value is in the information. Everyone draws their own style and other drawing books are stylized as well. I actually appreciated the high contrast shading because it helped differentiate the planes and surface of the head. It's great as a reference to use while drawing.

I have been wanting this book for a long time. I got it from the library so much, I knew I should have gotten it sooner so I could mark it where I wanted to. This book takes your heads to the next level. I plan on getting all of Hogarth's books in the future.

This is the best book i have found on drawing the head. Andrew loomis has a good method as well, I have kind of started using a hybrid of the 2. This book has a lot of information about different kinds of head shapes that occur in humans that I have not seen elsewhere.
