Course Description

Overview

This class is a basic overview of how to begin drawing portraits. We'll go over how to construct the head from a front,3/4, as well as profile view. In order to keep things simple, I didn't go over any sort of anatomy or anything too advanced. While at some point study of anatomy is important, I wanted to keep the class basic so that everyone should feel comfortable approaching portrait drawing! 

All the head drawings I did in the videos were made up out of my head. The reason being is that the construction process is the same wether you're working from life, photos, or working from imagination. So while the videos are ultimately drawings of 'generic' heads, you'll see how I construct them and you'll be able to apple this to whatever you're working from!
