Somto: An online portrait drawing session

Lydia Cecil draws a portrait of model Somto in this week's session, focusing on simplifying the head into shapes and exploring the use of the terminator line and reflected light to create depth. Using chalk and charcoal on light toned paper, she shows how to develop structure and form through value relationships and edge control.
