Portrait Drawing Lessons | Drawing Children

DRAWING CHILDREN - 3 Lessons

Perhaps the most challenging subject for the portrait artist is children. There are several criteria that need to be met for a successful child’s portrait: first, the drawing must be sound –The adult portrait drawing allows for small drawing deviances – not so with children; second, the expression is paramount. Children’s expressions are more primal. There are few of the subtleties found in the adult portrait. And, third, the end result must be as fresh as a biscuit – not an easy task.

This PDF volume comprises three lessons in drawing children: the first is a 5 year-old boy in sanguine conte with strong reflected lights; the second is a young girl in 3/4 view in black conte within the tondo (circular canvas); and the third lesson focuses on gesture and movement of a black girl in graphite pencil. 61 pages.

Drawing Lessons - Drawing Drapery Workshop

DRAWING DRAPERY

Drawing drapery requires a skill-set as distinct as portrait drawing is distinct from drawing the still-life. Although there are similarities in rendering plastic form in portraiture, still-life, etc., draped cloth requires an understanding of the various structures of the different types of folds.

There are seven basic folds: the pipe fold, the 2-point fold (also known as the ‘diaper’ fold), the zigzag fold, the drop fold, the half-lock, the spiral and the inert. A draped cloth often contains numerous fold structures, i.e., pipe, zigzag, and half-lock folds. Most artists while drawing or painting drapery quickly become lost in the forest of myriad folds and creases.

Drapery cannot be approached the same way you would tackle a still-life. Instead you need to learn the characteristics and be able to interpret the rhythms and stresses of each type of fold. Regularly $47.00 (46 pages)
