Love drawing the human face and body but are unsure where to start? Sydney Community College is here to help with their portraiture drawing class in Rozelle! It's a must do in Sydney for those who love flexing their creative muscles.
The human face is endless in its variation and possibilities. When we look at each other, we see ourselves. We look, connect and understand. Artists have created portraits of bliss, anguish, hatred, hostility and happiness by representing the human head and this practice has continued through the many historical artistic movements.
Over five sessions, we will cover:
  • Geometric equivalents of the head, neck and shoulders
  • Cranial masses and their influences on the appearance of head and face
  • The anatomical structure of the human face and head
  • Monochromatic colour and colour temperature
  • Light and shadows to create 3D forms
  • Characteristics of the features and how to observe them in all faces
  • Adding more power in a portrait by drawing hands interacting with the head and face and more
  • How to set up a model to take the best advantage of their expression and unique presence
Whether you are drawing for the very first time or have a little bit of experience under your belt, this course will help you develop your skills and technique. Plus, three life models will pose during this course to give you the optimum learning experience.
All students must be over 18+ years of age.
