For your class project, you will draw a realistic face portrait!

Why is that? Some beginners are afraid to draw face portraits because they think it’s too difficult. The truth is that it isn’t! And I believe you will feel more confident about your drawing skills and feel inspired to draw more, once you’ve completed this project.

During the project you must cover the following points:

Print the reference picture that I provide;
Use an A4 sized paper;
Outline using the grid technique;
Apply dark tones;
Create blended transitions between shadow and light;
Draw hair and eyebrows;
Cover large areas;
Apply textures and light spots;
Apply finishing touches.
Post your finished piece in the class' Project Gallery!

Remember that you can pause and go back at any time during this class! I recommend working on your class project alongside me, pausing along the way to work on your own piece. You can post your questions in the Discussions section of this class and ask for some feedback by posting your progress in the class' Project Gallery — I'll be very glad to help you.

When you finish your drawing, don't forget to share it in the class' Project Gallery — I can’t wait to see your projects!
