In this one-day workshop, students will learn how to construct human facial features including an eye, nose, mouth and an ear using both graphite pencil and charcoal.
Michael will provide tips and tricks on how to simplify some of the most seemingly complex areas of the face into basic geometric shapes that make drawing digestible and fun. Students will learn how to embed structure into their drawings before building them up to achieve a sense of volume and form.
Michael will conduct demonstrations and provide individual feedback throughout the day. Students will work from photo references provided.
