¡Dibuja rostros increíbles! Clase semanal para retratos increíblemente realistas.

My teaching style is easy going and free flowing. However, I teach powerful techniques to make major improvement in skill quickly that I actually use myself when drawing. I don’t water things down just because I’m teaching kids. A past student that stayed on for two years had said that the teachers she tried before me felt like glorified babysitting. That’s not me. But there's also no high pressure to "get it right" with me. When we work on a drawing, I will push students to get various elements as close as they can to our goal. If I sense that they are hitting the limit of their ability or don't completely understand what I'm trying to get them to do, I will let them know that we can move on but we might check on that area again later to see if it will need any other adjustments. Or we may just leave it as it is, if it accomplishes a good amount of what we were trying to do.

In this class, we will draw a single human portrait for the duration of the four weeks, using a reference photo which I will provide. Dedicating this much time to a single drawing allows students to create more refined portfolio pieces (even at the beginner level), as opposed to quicker drawings that are more oriented for simply practice. 

We will focus on how to portray the face with accurate proportions and structural shape, as well as the relationships of light and dark areas. As I draw the image, students will follow along and draw each part of the head, step by step. I’ll check on students’ drawings and give suggestions about anything I see that needs to be adjusted. Our reference may be male or female, seen from a head on or 3/4 view.

Questions are welcome at any time. As long as they aren’t about cryptocurrency. I’m still in the dark about how that works. Students are encouraged to introduce themselves at the start of each lesson and show the progress of their drawing at the end. 

This class will give students new ways to look at the subject they are drawing, and new tools to use while creating their drawings, which will help them to get more accurate drawings faster, and with less frustration. Much of the various methodologies that we cover will contribute to growing genuine artistic skills that can also be applied to any subject, not just portraiture. We will be developing lasting abilities, not just completing individual projects to pass the time. 

Students have the option of taking this course more than once to make their skills even stronger. We draw from a different reference photo each time the class begins again after the completion of the four weeks, so each class is unique.
