Better than a sketch technique class, this course will show you a variety of drawing approaches for faces and facial features of all varieties; eyes, mouth, ears, hair, and the elusive nose will all be covered

Class Experience

This is a one time course for beginner- intermediate level artist. We will focus exclusively on human facial features. Proportion, distance, and perspective will be included as well as visual thinking strategies in regards to light and shadow. Any kind of writing utensil is sufficient for participation in this class. Realistic as well as cartoon techniques will be introduced and shown in contrast through out the class. Between these two approaches, learners are encouraged to experiment in...

My wish for each student that their existing skills are enhanced and refined through the session. Two different drawing techniques will give young artists choice and range that is applicable to all future works outside of this class.

Any kind of paper (a few sheets) and a writing utensil they are comfortable using for long periods of time...I.e. something that stay sharpened, draws / writes consistently, multiple colors and erasers are optional

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Each participant will have evidence of their progress by the conclusion of the class. Students are encouraged to ask questions and show their work periodically through out the session.

55 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

This is an instructional- based class.
