Sketchbook Express
23.00$
Are you ready to explore the spectrum of emotions? Grab your sketchbooks and I will show you how to get started and where to find inspiring and expressive reference photos.
No grids! Achieving likeness or realism isn’t the goal, it’s all about capturing and finding expressive characters during your sketchbook practice. In this class we will explore mature male faces and do two projects:
- One profile portrait built up out of linework, directly with pen on paper.
- One front view portrait with dramatic lighting using charcoal, building up the layers.
Sounds good? Then hop on board the Sketchbook Express and start creating your little book of emotive characters!
