This short workshop provides the simple basics to enable you to accurately draw human heads, whilst capturing their distinct qualities such as their age, gender and ethnicity thus adding a new dimension to your sketches. You will learn how to divide up the face whilst defining and aligning the key features and gain some useful hints and tips on the best ways to develop and practice your skills moving forward. Simple tonal work will then be introduced to produce a convincing three-dimensional form. Choose from a diverse range of printed facial front views and side profiles to develop effective drawings that reflect the wonderful diversity of the human head. An ideal introduction to a fascinating subject that should help you get into the habit of sketching faces for pleasure. All reference photographs and diagrams will be provided for you to take away as a useful resource and all art materials will be provided.
