Lifelike Portraiture

🖊️ Grow your ability to draw faces with confidence and clarity. In this 6+ hour demo, Liz Harris guides you through the working portrait drawing step by step — from head structure and value block-in to a full char­coal portrait demo — helping you both see and execute likeness with precision. 

You’ll learn how to:
📐 Understand head measurements and proportion variations based on angle and pose. 
🎨 Use notan (light/dark relationships) to build a strong base for your portrait. 
🔍 Execute a full drawing demo from start to finish — seeing how each decision leads to a believable likeness. 
🧱 Build a reliable, repeatable framework so you move beyond “guesswork” and draw with structure and control.

Ideal for artists who are comfortable with the basics of drawing and want to deepen their portrait skills and feel uncertain about how to translate what they see into solid drawing decisions. 🕒 Runtime: 6+ hours
