Learn a form-based, academic approach to portrait drawing. During the initial block-in phase, students will use comparative measuring techniques and learn to see the face as a series of inter-locking 2-D shapes to achieve accurate proportions and likeness. In the next phase of the drawing students will model three-dimensional form through subtle modulations of value based on the way the light source is striking the planes of the face. Students will have the option to use graphite on drawing paper or graphite and white chalk on toned drawing paper.
