The Easy Way To Draw Faces
Every course focuses on one technique and takes you from first stroke to finished piece.
Faces are the most requested and most intimidating subject in drawing. This course removes the mystery by breaking portraits down into geometry, angles, and shading steps you can follow. Lisa starts with universal face geometry and frontal view templates, moves through profile and angled views, and finishes with realistic grey-scale shading from a reference image.
Each module includes guided sketching exercises and homework with printable templates. The bonus content adds a live lesson recording covering charcoal techniques and an 11-part older face study in charcoal.
After this course, you will...
- Understand universal face geometry and proportions
- Draw accurate frontal, profile, and angled face views
- Sketch freehand portraits with confidence
- Shade realistic grey-scale portraits from reference photos
- Use blender pencils and black for depth and dimension
