Hi Ana, I've done very little of my own sketching because I've been busy teaching 14 year olds how to draw portraits. I've drawn samples for them and demonstrated. We've done frontal views, profiles, and three-quarter views of heads. They are working hard to push beyond their childhood ways of drawing and draw in new ways.
Drawing portraits is so difficult. I find it quite challenging! Any tips?
Paula Bonet is an artist I follow that draws really beautiful portraits. Also, Norris Yim does interesting abstract painted portraits blending colours. Worth checking them!
Thank you for these introductions! Both Bonet and Yim are new to me and I am glad to know about them now! Wow, Norris Yim's work is the contemporary version of Henri Matisse's The Green Line, taken to the extreme; the maximum volume ! My students will benefit from seeing his work!
