D R AW I N G P R O G R A M Head Drawing Phase III: One-Hour Master Study–Female
OVERVIEW In this drawing we have a very challenging head tilt, so pay special attention as you lay it in. This is a Russian artist and a very nice drawing. Always cross reference the source image and my drawing so you can see where I altered, edited, and manipulated the image. I am also drawing very quickly and talking, so don’t take it ridiculously literal. They are really nice efforts but something will always be lost while demoing–just the name of the game. Get in there–have fun and take your time.

ASSIGNMENT: ONE-HOUR MASTER STUDY–FEMALE
In this lesson you will mimic my study of a Russian master drawing. Take your time and focus on acquiring some of the artist’s calligraphy. You can also cross-reference my interpretation. Part 1: Watch my video demonstration. Part 2: Look over the PDFs and read over the tips and procedures. Part 3: Pay special attention to how I interpreted this drawing. I would have loved to go further, but with the time constraints it wasn’t feasible. Part 4: Feel free to take this further, maybe two or three hours, then make sure to post your drawing on the forums. Note: When executing master studies, the idea is to take what you like from this artist’s knowledge base by utilizing the art of emulation or copying. I will walk you through my interpretation, but by no means will it be exact. You can work from my drawing or the Russian’s drawing or both–your choice. Good luck, this should be fun.
