Aidan: An online portrait drawing session
Luca Indraccolo
Join Luca for this month’s FREE 1- hour portrait session with model Aidan, exploring how to describe form when the light source comes from below.

Materials used: Black, white and multiple shades of grey Polychromos pencils by Faber Castell, black Daler-Rowney paper, Mars Staedtler Plastic eraser, Tombow Mono Zero eraser.
