Capturing a Child's Likeness

👶 Draw children with confidence and clarity. In this 4+ hour demo, Liz Harris guides you through a portrait of a child from start to finish—focusing on the nuances that are unique to youthful features and drawing a believable likeness. 

You’ll learn how to:
✏️ Recognize and adjust for the softer values found in a child’s face (less contrast than adults) 
👁️ Adapt proportions—such as larger eyes, smaller nose, shorter forehead—to maintain accuracy in youthful portraiture 
📐 Control the narrower value spread typical of children’s features (fewer extremes of dark and light) 
Sentient Academy
🖼️ Get a full walk-through of portrait drawing techniques, from block-in to refined detail, tailored specifically for child likeness

Perfect for artists who want to expand into child portrait commissions but feel confident with adult portraits but less sure when the subject is young and are ready to deepen their observational skills for subtler age-related features. 🕒 Runtime: 4+ hours
