Saturday March 21: Introduction to Drawing Portraits with Sheelah Tolton

In this class students will learn about how to draw the human head and key aspects of capturing likeness. We will talk about the anatomy of the head including typical proportions and relative measurements as well as how to simplify the head and face features into shapes that are easy to understand as they shift orientation in space. We will then practice drawing self-portraits and portraits of other students in the class. These exercises will help students not only draw portraits from life but also create new characters from imagination.
