Project Outline: Last week one of the students requested that I demonstrate how to draw portraits. So, today I will be their portrait model, or I’ll find a model, for them to learn the basics of proportions of the face. I will demonstrate how to lay out the lines of the face, and how to measure the features. Again, we will work from the pattern of shapes to lines to shading. I really think they will be excited once their intimidation wears off!
