Drawing A Portrait in 3/4 View

Each day we will begin class with the instructional video.  Your grade sheet contains the link to these videos, should you need to review.  You must stay focused on your own work for this unit or you risk falling behind.  Each day is planned out to get the maximum production time.  Use each minute as if your grade depends on it. 

For each day you will watch a video from the links on the introduction page.  You will then sketch the facial feature covered in the video complete with shading up to ten times.  Begin with the nose, then move on to the mouth and then the eyes.  On the fourth day, we will watch two videos on drawing faces and begin sketching the entire face.  Once 5 ten minute sketches of the face have been completed, you will be ready to begin your final self portrait.  This self portrait will take you up to four class days to complete. 

Use all of what you have learned in this course up to this point  about observing and drawing what you see, not what you remember, the value scale,  shading, and textures. 

This portrait and all of the sketches are due before the end of class on December 17.  If you complete one step each day, you will have four class days to complete your portrait with one extra day to improve your outcome.
