Shadbolt Centre for the Arts – Page 6

This is a series of five videos done at the Shadbolt Center in 2016 and gives useful info for drawing faces. For life drawing purposes at least watch videos 1 and 2 of 5. Knowing something about this, even though portraiture is not the goal, can contribute to life drawing. What you leave out is important, but knowing that certain lumps and bumps are there, and why, is a good thing. Form a personal goal of being able to construct the manikin head and place basic features on it at any angle, from your head, without a model. It will make it much easier when you do work from a model. (If you get misdirected to other videos, always come back to this entry to watch the next in sequence.)

Faces, Scale Figures & Perspective for Life Drawing (5 videos) {Nov 2016}

There are two main ways of approaching the figure. They complement each other. One is OBSERVATION (Life drawing or copying reference photos). The other is CONSTRUCTION (Using scale and proportion methods to create a figure with little or no references). The two can and should be used together for a full skillset. Both depend on the armature of ‘gesture’ for liveliness and composition. These five videos are an introduction to useful methods of CONSTRUCTION. You can also look under the Category: “FACE AND FIGURE” for many more videos.
