Graphite Drawing Techniques for Planar Portraiture

Un maestro

A professionally presented course with quality content. A good course, recommended.

Really very detailed instructions. Very helpful if you want to draw in the same way.

Un curso muy importante para elaborar un plano del rostro y realizarlo sin cometer errores en su ejecución. Muy bueno.

My virtual teacher Sorie Kim is awesome! I haven't drawn in over 10 years, and this introduction course totally opened me back up. I ran out and bought all the materials I needed and have dedicated time everyday every since.

The lessons in this series are extensive and excellent. Although the Level is listed as Beginner, I think there are important lessons for artists of every skill level. It will pay off the most for self taught artists who seek practical techniques for better capturing a likeness. I have watched several of the lessons multiple times. I recommend you do not binge watch the entire thing, but instead take it slow and sketch many practice portraits along the way.

I found this course very informative and helpful. I followed along and did a quick sketch of the subject quite effectively. It was a thumbnail but nonetheless dance instruction did a lot to help. It has so much to offer and even if you don’t get it initially it will come in to play quickly there after with some time spent at the easel.

Great course and well explained

very precise

I like Dan's approach to drawing the head, he presents some interesting ideas and has a thorough knowledge of anatomy and planes of the head.

I thought I am here just to learn to draw human faces but it's more then that . Want to explore more . Dan is great instructor we already know that Domestika did a great job bringing him on this platform.

El curso es muy profesional, muy completo.
Se aprende mucho con él, tener la oportunidad de aprender de la mano de un artista como Dan Thompson es un autentico lujo, ojalá presente mas cursos. Gracias

Great course, learning a lot!

Dan Thompson is a veritable legend! I was just thrilled when I saw that he was teaching. It gives your program amazing credibility should I decide to take other courses with instructors with whom I am unfamiliar and subjects I don't have a clue about.
And, needless to say I have been watching and rewatching the class I took from Dan, and am looking for more classes with him.,

I love this course:
- It provided context to the thought process which makes a successful portrait.
- Brings forward the planar concepts, making drawings dimensional.
- Establishes a systematic process to drawing.
