| Clara Lieu, “Self-Portrait No. 31″, from ”Falling“ |
Sometimes an artist puts everything into
a series of works of art. The artwork carries the essence of the person with it. An artist that does just that is the inspiration for our first project (it will be a difficult one). We are going to jump right in draw a self-portrait that has expression.
Clara Lieu an artist and Professor at Rhode Island School of Design created a series of expressionistic self-portraits that are executed so perfectly (if there is such a thing as a perfect work of art).
The
human face is universal, that is obvious, but drawing it a certain way is not. In this drawing lesson you
will have many challenges, from drawing
your facial features in proportion
to developing a creative idea and composition. Ask yourself what you need to work on when it
comes to drawing facial features.? Does the idea of drawing yourself make you
excited or scared (or a little bit of both)?
No worries, relax and take the steps needed to make your drawing YOURS.
Planning, practicing, and being thoughtful about the process will help
you be successful!
