Portrait Art: How To Draw Faces
Offered By: Skillshare
Course Description
Overview
This class is for anyone who has ever wanted to draw a face from a photo and have it really look like that person. While I share the basics of pencil portrait art, it is also in depth enough for the intermediate to advanced artist.
In this class you will learn:
- What tools are needed to create a pencil portrait
- How to pick a good photo for drawing
- How to get an accurate outline
- How to create smooth skin tones
- How to draw hair ( For more on hair, check out my follow up class here!)
Please note that I draw in inches, but you can easily convert to centimeters! I have attached a conversion chart in the class documents to make it easy!
