Learn to Draw: Heads and Figures in Pencil
Jun 14 - Jun 18
3 Teaching Days
Description
Faces First
When you come, you’ll get an envelope full of face references, each student will pick a face they’d like to draw. We’ll start with a first student’s pick and I’ll draw a quick demo, explaining the process as I go through the demo. Then the whole class will draw that face with me step by step. We’ll do the same with each student. The envelope will also have anatomy and drawing references.
Figures Second
Starting about midway through the second day, you’ll get the figure envelope with figure, anatomy and drawing references. We’ll do the same thing and continue through the last day. Lots of demos and you’ll do a lot of drawings. I’ll be walking around the class for one on one help. Ask questions please!
