In this two-day course, we will cover the principles of pencil drawing and the secrets to capturing a convincing and recognizable portrait. The focus will be on learning how to block-in the proportions of the subject, the structure of the facial features, the science of light, form, and shading, and (most importantly) capturing the likeness of your subject.
