Class Experience

Do you like drawing people but have difficulty with features like hands, eyes, noses, mouths, ears, or hair? Do you want a place where you can practice, get advice, or be challenged in your portrait drawing skills? Come join as each week we will draw a different feature together using a provided reference photo. (*Please note that we do not draw an entire face.) Through practice and instruction, learners will improve their observation, shading, and blending techniques in pencil drawing. 

Although we rotate through and repeat six main topics (hands, ears, nose, mouth, eyes, and hair), the reference photos will always be different each time through. At the beginning of class, students get to vote on 2-3 different reference photos. The photo with the most votes is what we'll draw together. Students are also welcome and encouraged to give suggestions for future reference photos, based on what they'd like to learn or practice (specific expressions, hair textures, etc.). 

This class may be better suited for those who are intermediate or advanced artists, but beginners are welcome to give it a try. The teacher will provide a step-by-step process as well as useful tips and techniques throughout our time together, and the learners are highly encouraged to ask questions and share their work as we draw together.

Learning Goals

Students will improve their pencil shading and blending skills while learning drawing techniques on difficult human features: hands, ears, eyes, noses, mouths, and hair. They will learn about the importance and role of light and how to create the subtle shadows and highlights that bring portraits to life.
