Description

The profile portrait presents its own challenges and rewards. It’s easier to render the similarity to our model, but it’s much, much harder to give the impression of tridimensionality and realism. Profile portraits tend to seem “flat” and cartoonish, and you have to know what to do to prevent that from happening. In this course we will explore this ancient and beautiful type of portrait and will learn how to give it the feeling of volume and character.
