Susan

This a drawing made in yesterday’s Drawing Faces class of a woman from a photo posted on the Earthsworld Instagram page and website. I named her Susan because I don’t like drawing nameless people.

Gary

This portrait is drawn from a photo by Earthsworld, who is a photographer who takes candid photos of people at county fairs in the US. You can find their photos on the @Earthsworld Instagram account and on the Earthsworld website.

I don’t know this man’s name but I don’t like drawing nameless people so I’ve named him Gary.

Milena

Milena drawn with coloured pencils.

Emma

Emma drawn with Copic markers and coloured pencils.

Cornelis

In this week’s Drawing Faces class we drew Van Dyck’s portrait of Cornelis van der Geest. I love studying work by great painters – I learn so much about their painting style and use of colour. But I always struggle to scan or photograph coloured pencil drawings – if you have any tips on how to do this I’d love to know!

Faeze

I drew Faeze on an iPad Pro using the Procreate app and the Hiroshi Yoshida brushset.

Nathan

Nathan from the Museum by Sktchy app drawn with Holbein coloured pencils.

Turay

We had a go at posterising a portrait of Turay in this week’s Drawing Faces class.
