Description

Have you ever wanted to draw portraits of your friends and family? Well this is the course for you!

In this beginner's course we walk you through a simple four-step approach to drawing the face from three different angles. First we tackle drawing a portrait from the side view. Next we focus on the front view. Then finally we apply all the techniques we've learned to craft a portrait from the 3/4 view!

In each section we begin with an overview video in which I explain how the four step process can be applied to that particular view. Then we dive right in by creating a drawing together.

What are the four steps?

1) Study the reference.

2) Use simple shapes to compose the face.

3) Use simple techniques and angles to measure the proportions of your face layout for accurate placement of features.

4) Use contour lines to add details and nuance to your drawing to capture the likeness of your reference.

This is an interactive course so you'll be drawing right along with me! Follow along at your own pace, pause, and rewind to maximize your learning!
