Portrait Drawing: Face Features

This course is ideal for beginner-intermediate students who want to learn or improve their portrait skills. No previous drawing training is required, and it is perfect for new students or a continuation of previous portrait classes. The class meets virtually once a week for four consecutive weeks.

Students will learn how to represent all the face’s features in detail correctly: Eyes, Mouth, Nose & Ears, using several images as visual references in the learning process.
It will cover a great variety of poses and gestures without a model. Through analytical drawings, learn to represent the features of the face following proportions, measurements, comparison, symmetry, structure, shading, and sketching to capture the facial expressions.

Students will have a constant evaluation during the classes while they are drawing, through Individual instruction and demonstrations, and according to how they are doing the exercises proposed, making them aware of all the things they learned and what they have to correct to improve their drawings.

Finally, they are going to practice all they learned in the workshop by drawing a complete shading portrait following an image the instructor provides
