Drawing a portrait is considered a complex task. In a classical way, you first need to study anatomy, structure, shading techniques, the basics of perspective. And only then you can start drawing the head.

But in fact we don't need anatomy and perspective for sketching in two main positions, they are simple enough.

Our classes generally will be focused on studying the main proportions of the human head and the specific features responsible for portrait similarity.

In the first part of the course, you'll consider the general shape of the head and analyze the key features of similarity of the face parts.

In the second part of the course, you'll study individual features of the head shape, how to measure proportions in the process of drawing from life and finally, you'll draw your first portraits in full face and profile view! In addition, you'll get the workshop on mini- and micro-portraits.

Your first portraits you'll draw from photos, but the process will be similar to drawing from life. The photo on a computer screen has to be in an upright position and keep some distance from it.

When you have enough experience drawing portraits from photos, you can try drawing from life.
