Review - Seeing?

• Drawing what we see (vs what we think.)• Our eyes can fool us.

Review+ - Drawing

• Start VERY light. • Play with the elements of your picture (add,

drop, move, resize.)

• Portraits (my favorite subject):– Outside in– Basic proportions– Pose and lighting– Landmarks

Portraits – Drawing People• Challenging and doable• More than a head and a face • The average face• Basic geometry• Facial landmarks• Facial features: eyes, nose, mouth, ears, jaw

line and other lines• Necks and shoulders• Caricature vs. portraiture
