VIDEO DESCRIPTION
How to block-in and draw portraits and the head as it relates to learning how to do portrait drawing, realistic figure or people drawing | In this drawing tutorial we take a look at how to block-in the head or a portrait when sketching or drawing the human figure or people. We examine some key concepts and techniques to keep in mind and practice to get the most out of blocking-in. Blocking in addresses proportion, and capturing the whole, enveloping shape that contains the figure.
The key is to look for the big and simple shapes that contain the whole pose.
