In the Resources for this class you will find the reference photo that I'm using. Follow the videos with me step by step and create your own portrait drawing. Feel COMPLETELY FREE to improvise along the way and add your own flair and expression to your drawing. This project does not have to match the photo reference that I give you - the photo can simply be a starting point.

The steps outlined here allow you this freedom. So:

1. start rough and loose;

2. add darks for shading and shadows;

3. pull out the lights and brights;

4. then re-state your darks, touch up your highlights.....

and then step back!

Then share with me and your fellow expressionists! Post your drawing in the project section. We'd love to support you here and I am available to answer any questions plus give you feedback on your drawing if you would like that.

The photo reference is by photographer Knight Duong. You can download the attached file, or get the high res version here: https://unsplash.com/@knightduong?utm_source=unsplash&utm_mediu…

See you in class :)
