It's in the Details
When you draw a tree or a bowl of fruit, no one will notice if you add a few branches or change the size of the grapes.
But when you draw a human face, every detail needs to be right. This is the unique challenge of drawing portraits, but also what makes it fun and exciting!
If you struggle with drawing faces, or want to understand what you are drawing instead of just copying, this course is for you!
What you will learn:
• A simple, logical approach to drawing accurate portraits.
• The structure, measurements and proportions of the head and face.
• Tips and technique for drawing individual features (eyes, nose, mouth, hair, etc)
• How the facial structure changes from baby to child to adult
• How to achieve a good likeness when using photographic reference
• Printable guides and fun drawing exercises to help improve your skills!
(Check out the full curriculum below!)
From comics to canvases
What do you dream of drawing?
• Realistic pencil or charcoal drawings?
• Portrait paintings in watercolor or oils?
• Illustrations for books or comics?
Don’t think you can skip out learning about the facial structure if your goal is to draw cartoon characters! You will achieve significantly better and more interesting results when you’ve mastered fundamental portrait drawing.
The best illustrators and cartoonists are intimately familiar with the shape and structure of the human head, allowing them to draw it convincingly at any age, from any angle, with any expression!
The Power of Portraiture
Through the portrayal of the human face, we can convey the entire range of human emotions and experiences. A portrait is more than just a record of what someone looks like, it tells us who they are.
How do we imbue our drawings with character and emotion?
We start at the very beginning, learning the proportions of the head, how to construct it from any angle, and how to accurately draw in the facial features.
Once we understand the fundamentals, learning to draw accurately and with confidence, the spirit of the subject will be revealed.
