Working with traditional drawing media, students will learn the techniques used to create sophisticated renderings of the figure’s portrait using photography as reference. Students will study the structural concepts and proportions of the head to improve their understanding of the portrait, create a convincing likeness of the model and better negotiate the pitfalls of working from still photography.
