Ever wanted to draw faces but weren’t sure where to start? This 6-week intro class is all about making portrait drawing feel approachable, fun, and doable. We’ll break faces down into simple shapes, explore basic facial anatomy, and learn how features actually fit together so drawings feel more believable and expressive.
 
This class includes easy warm-ups, short demos, and plenty of guided drawing time as we study proportions, facial features, and the underlying structure of the skull and muscles that shape the face. We’ll also touch on light and shadow to help bring portraits to life. Whether you’re brand new to drawing or just want to refresh the basics, this class is a relaxed, supportive space to build skills, gain confidence, and enjoy the process.
 
No prior experience needed — just curiosity!
