A portrait can reveal the likeness, personality, and even the mood of a person. In previous centuries, portraits were used to reveal someone's social standing, to manipulate the viewers's opinion of the subject, or to exaggerate and accentuate features. Artist and teacher Barringston Barber shows you how to overcome common difficulties and introduces you to the techniques that will develop your perception of a subject. Packed with essential advice for artists of all abilities, Drawing Portraits: - includes information on materials, techniques, and styles - covers the basics of proportions, facial expressions, and poses - teaches the art of group and animal portraits and caricatures - contains step-by-step drawings and exercises to practise.
