Come and learn how to render accurate, beautifully designed features and gain in- depth knowledge about the features so you can execute your portrait work with confidence!
 
In this course Keegan will be taking students through an in depth look at the placement and proportions of the head and face. Students will learn the major anatomical forms of the features and important landmarks. They will then learn how to simplify the anatomy into memorable forms and relationships.
