Struggling to capture lifelike, expressive eyes in your portraits?
What if you knew exactly what to look for and include in your drawing or painting, to create the most realistic, believable eyes?
The first step in transforming our portraits is transforming our observation.
When drawing or painting eyes, if we copy a line that we see without understanding what it is - we simply won’t draw it correctly or convincingly.
It won’t start from (or lead to) the right place, decreasing the realism and believability of our portrait.
Or, we’ll miss an entire form of the eye altogether! It happens all the time, because:
We can’t draw what we can’t see!
When we don’t know what to look for,
we miss what’s right in front of us.
Studying anatomy reveals what’s hidden in plain sight.
In this webinar, you will:
✔️ Learn to approach the study of anatomy in a way that will transform your eye drawings and paintings
✔️ Discover 11 parts of the eye that you must know to depict realistic, believable eyes
✔️ Understand how the parts of the eye change as the eye or head moves, so that you can draw eyes in any pose, facing any direction
✔️ Unlock the recipe for a successful block-in for an eye drawing
✔️ Learn what to include and what to leave out of a block-in to set yourself up for successful shading!
