This portrait drawing course will teach you how to draw beautiful, realistic portraits that capture the subject's likeness.

What makes this course unique from all the others out there, is how it breaks down the complex topic of portrait drawing into manageable concepts and step-by-step exercises.

You'll begin by learning simple concepts and practicing basic drawing exercises. As you're hand dexterity and understanding improve, the lessons will gradually increase in difficulty until, by the end of the course, you will have drawn your very own realistic portrait.

Even if you are a beginner with no drawing experience, you'll find the lessons and exercises easy to understand and enjoyable, while still learning critical drawing skills.

Key things you will learn:

How to simplify the head into basic shapes so you can draw it more easily
How to draw the head from different angles to create more dynamic portraits
How to draw the planes of the head in order to create a three-dimensional effect
Understanding the rules of lighting in order to make your drawing look realistic
Understanding the basic anatomy of each of the facial features so you can draw them better
A simple step-by-step process for drawing a realistic portrait from start to finish
And a whole lot more!

At this end of this course, students will have a better understanding of how to draw the head from various angles, how to shade realistic features, and how to draw a complete realistic portrait.
