Capturing the human face can feel intimidating, but with the right guidance, anyone can learn to see and draw what’s really there. In this 4-week series, you’ll break the process into manageable steps, building confidence as you move from individual features to full faces in multiple angles. Each week focuses on a specific skill, combining hands-on instruction, practice exercises, and guided homework to help you improve steadily. You can take the full series for the complete experience, or join individual classes to focus on the areas you want to explore most.
