Lemen

In this DVD, you will learn how to construct a female portrait using construction and abstraction methods from front view, 3/4 view and profile. Along with the several comprehensive demonstrations, there are also demonstrations on form design, abstraction design, the features of the face and more. The expanded demonstrations also cover drawing in both charcoal as well as graphite. This DVD is packed with academic information, watch it in small portions, then watch it again and again to absorb it all. Instructor for this title: Ron Lemen.

In this DVD, Ron focuses on creating a male portrait from the front, three-quarter and profile views while covering the fundamental tools of drawing with traditional media. He discusses and demonstrates the features of the head through shape analysis, a breakdown of the Abstraction and Construction Methods, and how and why he uses them. Insight into shading and how to control the tones and lines drawn are also covered. In addition, a few bonus drawings titled “Warm Ups” break away from a step process and develop similar results in a more freeform way. All artists types, from fine art to commercial, will benefit from this demonstration.
