Students will learn how to use pencil sketching techniques to draw people.  They will use proper sketching, shading and blending techniques. This class will focus on the head and face.  Students will start with head angle study and how to detail each facial features like eyes, nose, mouth and ear. Instructors will demonstrate how to identify basic shapes within a character's head, facial measurements and proportions, facial expressions with eyes, eyebrows and mouth, hair, etc.  While approaching a new face every week, students will also learn how to tweak its features to give a unique appearance. We will also discuss how to render different types of hair.

This is a highly sought-after class for people sketching enthusiasts who love to study human anatomy and the characteristics of different facial features.
