How to Draw the Planes of a Portrait While Looking at a Picture (Preview).

#headplanes #cesarsantos #drawing
Working from life gives the real feeling of forms as they exist in space. Since sometimes we work from photographic reference, we have to learn how to experience the flat image as if it was three dimensional, to give artistic quality to the work we create. This video is a preview of a longer video where you will learn how to conceptualize the forms presented in a photograph, to create a drawing that feels three dimensional by understanding the planes of the portrait. You can find the complete video on my website: cesarsantos.com/
