DRAWING I: Self-Portraits

Post date: Nov 14, 2012 3:28:13 AM

Students are working from a photograph of themselves to create portraits focusing on the face. Several students have asked about various techniques of portraiture such as the grid method. While I feel that the grid method is a wonderful way to recreate a portrait or other photo, in this project I have decided that the grid method is NOT being used. I feel that this assignment should focus more on capturing the angle, shading, and expression rather than accurately copying a photo. Students are doing a wonderful job and the results will be available soon!
