In this series, taking place over 3 2-hour sessions, students learn how to draw an accurate likeness of the human face. Lectures and demonstrations illustrate the basic geometric structures of the skull and facial features, and emphasize the importance of correct proportion and consistent angle of view in a well-constructed portrait.
Portraiture lessons focus on the 4 major facial features, eyes, ears, nose and mouth. Each week, we focus on a different one of these challenging structures and execute multiple drawings from various points of view. We present concepts to help students understand the facial features 3-dimensionally, while discussing relevant anatomical information along the way.
This material encompasses the structural generalities of the human face – the features we all share – and ways in which they can be adjusted to capture the likeness of any particular individual. We don't cover color or color theory, but rather focus on value in black and white. Tools utilized primarily include compressed charcoal, vine charcoal, conté, erasers, blending stumps and newsprint — all supplied by Drawn Studio.
