For the next twelve weeks in my Drawing Faces class we’ll be looking at drawing faces through history. We started this week with this fresco from the Minoan Palace of Knossos, in Crete, Greece painted on plaster 3500 years ago (Ladies in blue fresco, Palace of Knossos, Greece 1600 – 1450 BCE: Wikimedia).

Katie drawn with Copic Markers and coloured pencils.
Jeff drawn with Copic markers and coloured pencils.
Jamie drawn with Copic markers and coloured pencils.
Lola drawn with Copic markers and coloured pencils. This was a very tricky draw and I’m not at all happy with the outcome but that’s happens sometimes with drawing. I don’t get hung up about it, I just turn the page and move on.
