Drawing Technique

Another extract from "Drawing Cartoons", this time breaking down the technique into stages, each time distorting the drawing furthermore until the final product. Notice how the artist has not only altered the front profile with all the features, but brought the rear of the head nearer and shrunk the neck to make it more suggestive. Interesting how the artists used parallel lines to keep all the features in exact vertical proportion, and only distorts on the horizontal.
