Together, they will teach you how to render your portraiture to showcase a full range of beautifully rich, saturated tones, authentic looking hair, and much more. In addition to this, I include several, small drawing studies to help you build confidence and skill prior to the main class portrait itself. You'll learn exactly when to change pencil compositions, and how to layer them, in order to maintain a consistency in tone.
