Drawing a Simplified Portrait from a Painting

Follow along with artist Brandon Schaefer as we put together all of the lessons from the previous videos (linked below) and create a final sketch or drawing.

We will incorporate lines, shapes, blocking-in, proportions, and shading. Please take your time on this stage and try it as many times as you can. Sometimes it can take multiple attempts to get the desired outcome we are looking for. Practice will only make your drawing better.
