- Revisões
In this course students will learn how to draw the human head theoretically, as well as directly from a model using a classical naturalistic style. The course curriculum includes four chapters on the individual constructions of the eye, nose, lips and ear to help students master the representation of each form individually. The course teaches the student how to achieve accurate head proportions and symmetry, in three different views. The final project includes a full portrait demonstration that features the use of chiaroscuro modeling to achieve a strong sense of form and atmosphere.
Course features:
-
Improve your sense of proportion and symmetry when drawing the human head.
-
Learn how to draw accurate details when drawing specific facial features.
-
Discover how to use light and shade convincingly to achieve three dimensional forms.
-
Capture the likeness of your sitter when drawing portraits by learning to use the proportion system of the old masters
