Class Overview

The class comprises 100 minutes of HD video instruction:

Lesson 1: Likeness is Nice, but a Blob is Better
Create a light-and-loose contour drawing - Vin calls it a "blob" - before going in with more precision to draw the finer details. This is a great way to warm up for a drawing session and practice how to salvage a portrait that has gotten away from you.

Lesson 2: Gesture Drawing from Muscle Memory
Create several loose gesture drawings of the same face before drawing it one last time from "muscle memory."

Lesson 3: Inking from an Atypical Starting Point
Change up your perspective by starting your ink drawing from an atypical point.

Lesson 4: Coloring First, Inking Last
Start with a layer of color and then draw over the top of it. Besides being fun, this exercise will help you achieve more dimension in your portraits.

Lesson 5: Unboxing a Foreshortened Subject
Learn two different techniques for drawing a subject from a foreshortened perspective.
