Additional information

This class teaches realistic methods of portrait drawing by copying a photograph of a portrait, with focuses on fundamentals such as how to sharpen a pencil, draw straight lines, measure proportions with accuracy, make a 9-point value scale, understand the light logic, see the light and shadow shapes, the middle tones, and how to render the forms from big to small. The class will include explanations of human head anatomy, facial planes as well as important bony markers on the human head. Students will be guided at their individual pace and needs. A short demonstration will be given in each  class. No Prior drawing experience necessary for this class.
