Saturday, October 17, 2026
10 AM to 3 PM CST (with 1-hour break for lunch)
All tools provided
In this workshop, students learn how to draw an accurate likeness of the human face.
Portraiture lessons key in on the 4 major facial features, eyes, ears, nose and mouth. 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 values. Tools utilized primarily include compressed charcoal, vine charcoal, conté, erasers, blending stumps and newsprint — all supplied by Drawn Studio.
