Learn to interpret, draw and add personality to a subject from scratch
A portrait is not just the anatomical reproduction of a face, it is knowing how to capture and capture the features, essence and gestures of a person. For this there is a process prior to drawing, and it is the investigation of the character. It is important to get to know him to know what he transmits. The versatile artist, José Rosero, manages to transfer emotions beyond the canvas or paper and tells a story with each of his portraits.
In this course, José will teach you the general, conceptual and poetic context of the illustrated portrait, as well as the methodology for you to make the portrait of a character step by step. You will focus on drawing the face, as well as the depth of its gestures. You will learn the techniques to create your illustration with graphite pencils and Chinese ink.
