Practical portrait drawing course

Clear, illustrated guidance from a practising artist and teacher that breaks portrait drawing into manageable skills. The course-style approach covers proportion, facial anatomy, tone, and composition with stepwise demonstrations.

Illustrations and exercises focus on observation and technique so artists can build control over line, shading, and likeness. Explanations emphasize simple, repeatable methods that work across media.
