Introduction

Thank you for such a detailed and interesting course. I have certainly realised That I need to practise structure and anatomy much more and be much more patient with my drawing if I am to create more realistic but at the same time interesting portraits. First of all I challenged myself to attempt a self portrait as I wanted to draw from life but didn't have a willing model. Setting up two mirrors definitely helped but the poor light made it difficult. I also revisited the course some weeks later to draw Kathryn following along with the videos. Drawing Kathryn’s beautiful face was certainly more fun than drawing my own rather glum expression!
