Review: just right - Excellent video. He gets right to the point and explains in an understandable way the necessary information an artist need about the anatomy of the human head. Review: Attention portrait painters! - This video will be a boon for portrait artists. Viewing this DVD gave me unique insight about the anatomy of the head. It starts with the bones of the skull then highlights each muscle, describing its purpose and how this affects appearance of the head. Also valuable were those sections on proportions, gender and age differences, and facial expressions. This is a topic rarely handled in anatomy with such detail and clarity. I would strongly recommend it to artists and art students alike.
