Portraits in Graphics 2.0 by Roman Kruglov (Портреты в графике 2.0 – Russian, Eng sub)

At the portrait course, first and foremost, you will learn about the anatomy of the human skull. Understanding its structure allows artists to draw realistic portraits and convey the distinctive features of the model. The instructor will show you diagrams of the lips, nose, and eyes that will help you properly construct the parts of the face in the future. In addition, in the first part of the course, you will learn how to tone paper and draw the “Gudon” shape. This task helps you understand the structure of the human head and the logic of its lighting.

After the anatomy block, you will practice by creating 15 portraits of varying difficulty! First, Roman will show you how to work with different angles – front, side, and, of course, 3/4. Your main task will be to find proportions and realistically convey the shape of the head. Moving from simple to complex, you will create a gallery of portraits using various graphic materials.
