Portrait Drawing

With easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions, Portrait Drawing helps beginners look, see, and create fascinating, realistic likenesses of all types of faces. Exploring a range of media from watercolors and oils to acrylics and pastels, it guides you through the entire process: representing people of different ages; portraying different skin tones; accurately depicting the eyes, mouth, nose, and ears; and capturing different expressions. You’ll even learn how to make a self-portrait, and master drawing basics like perspective, proportions, composition, chiaroscuro, and using color. At each stage, highly detailed illustrations will inspire you to develop your own sense of creativity. Author Mark Bergin 64pp., 8.5x11 paperback ISBN: 9781912904808
