Description

If you want to get better at drawing portraits, it makes sense to put some time into practicing drawing the individual features of the face.

In this drawing tutorial I'll take you through the skills and techniques needed to draw a realistic mouth from a photograph (front on view). We will focus on getting a likeness to a photograph and learning four key steps that you can apply to your own portraits.

In this class you'll learn:

• how to see the underlying shapes of the lips

• how to build up gradual soft layers of shading

• how to capture the expression of the mouth you are drawing

• how to take a sketch from a simple plan to a full drawing with depth and detail

This class is suitable for most levels although it is recommended for people who have some basic prior experience with sketching and shading a range of tonal values.

Instructor's Courses

After finishing a Masters of Art & Design in 2010 I returned to the simple joy of putting pencil to paper and just drawing. Since then drawing has become my passion as both an expressive art form and an enjoyable and mindful practice. In 2017 I started The Pencil Room, an art education studio in Napier, New Zealand, where I teach drawing and painting classes and workshops. In the last few years I have also been building my Sketch Club drawing membership over at The Pencil Room Online.

I love the simplicity of drawing and I value doodling from the imagination as much as realistic drawing. Drawing doesn't always need to be serious, it can be simple and playful and it can change the way you see the world!

WHAT I TEACH:

I teach learn to draw courses and I also create motivational sketching tutorials.

My approach to teaching drawing is to give my students the skills to draw anything they choose, rather than teaching the steps to drawing just one type of subject.

In my drawing courses I teach theory and practical skills that are fundamental to learning to draw.

In my sketching tutorials I take students through a complete drawing. Each tutorial focuses on specific practical skills like shading, proportion, perspective, that can be applied to anything else you are interested in drawing.
