In my drawing classes, I teach the six universal skill sets of drawing: Angle, Proportion, Position, Contour, Value, and Shape (both positive and negative). We do portraiture at the very end of the semester utilizing all six skill sets. I made things easier for them, in that they were working from photographs and not real life.David Lobenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17550343255310931339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851626699837326.post-65619950176754429482010-01-23T15:23:15.158-08:002010-01-23T15:23:15.158-08:00Great work.

You see that young man holding up the portrait he did of the young lady wearing glasses? He was such a royal pain in the butt that I had to pull him aside one day and threaten to drop him from my class. That scared him, and he was OK after that. This was a good thing as he was a talented artist. The young lady in the photo is now in my acrylic class. She too is a talented artist!David Lobenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17550343255310931339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851626699837326.post-77998484625482081342010-01-20T18:18:52.504-08:002010-01-20T18:18:52.504-08:00Looks like everyone get in the spirit of things. ...Looks like everyone get in the spirit of things.
