Melvyn: An online portrait drawing session

Lizet Dingemans

In this session, join Lizet Dingemans as she talks you through her portrait of model Melvyn using willow charcoal on charcoal-toned white paper, with a B pencil added for refining small details. The session explores how to block out and build up the image gradually, using tone and texture to bring out the character and presence of the sitter.
