This class is more than a "how-to" on drawing a face; it is about connecting with your subject and allowing inspiration to guide your hand and heart. I demonstrate how I draw the portrait with a nod to classical proportions, relationships of the head's features, value, and different views. I share how I practice and embrace the early raw sketches and work toward more inspired pieces that tell a story.
