Our second portrait drawing class concentrated on seeing the big shapes and angles of the head. We followed a classic figure drawing method of creating an envelope around the head, with just a few lines. Then we started to refine our lines, breaking up one line into several small shifts. We had marking points, and used our centerline as well. We concentrated on this linear, angled and measuring approach. We applied it to shadow shapes given longer poses towards the end of class. Our model, Roger M., was fantastic!!! Our new student got right into the swing of things and the experienced students really took off with these concepts.
