Anatomy for Portraits with Mandy Boursicot
November 15, 2020
Description
Sunday, November 15th, 2020 at 11am PST (1.5 hr demo)
In this workshop, Mandy will introduce you to what every portrait artist needs to know about the anatomy of the head, neck and shoulders. The demo will cover a variety of essentials including depicting the placement and proportions of facial features and the structure of the head. Mandy will elaborate on the importance of facial structure on what we see in portrait models by illuminating the ever influential role of skeletal structure, facial muscles, and soft tissues. These elements will build your understanding of why things appear as they do in real life, and how to represent that in portraiture.
