Joanna: An online portrait drawing session

Lizet Dingemans

In this hour-long online session, we'll be going back to fundamentals with artist Lizet Dingemans and model Joanna. The first and most important step to creating a likeness is to focus on *shapes*. You need to observe the patterns of light and dark that make up the subject you are drawing, and place the right shapes in the right place on your paper. This is harder than it sounds, but Lizet has a few tricks to help you.
