Monthaven Arts & Cultural Center

This intermediate/advance digital art course for campers ages 13 and up delves deep into the art of portrait drawing, focusing on developing a comprehensive understanding of facial anatomy and honing the skills required to create lifelike portraits.

Through a series of structured lessons, students will embark on a journey of understanding the underlying bone structure of the face to the nuances of facial features and expressions. The course begins with an in-depth exploration of facial anatomy. Building upon this foundation, students will then progress to the study of individual facial features, including eyes, noses, mouths, and ears. Through guided exercises and demonstrations, students will learn techniques to accurately capture the unique characteristics of each feature.

Students will have the opportunity to apply their newfound knowledge and skills to create portraits of themselves, classmates, and other characters from reference images. Emphasis will be placed on capturing likeness and personality. Guidance will be provided on digital drawing techniques, including layering, blending, and digital brush usage, to help students achieve professional-quality results. By the end of the course, students will have developed a strong proficiency in digital portrait art.
