This is the place to stay on top of what we are doing at Max The Mutt Animation School
Including exploration of heads & features.
Learn to draw the head and to achieve a good portrait drawing:
- Explore anatomy of head, features, neck, and shoulder girdle;
- Learn to measure and achieve correct head proportions;
- Draw the head in planar construct;
- Gain knowledge of materials (charcoal, graphite, conté, toned paper) and explore rendering techniques.
Students will have an opportunity from sustained poses to produce competent portrait drawings.

Just wondering if there are ant prerequisites as to the level of drawing abilities required and if Gregory relies on the Nicolaides method of drawing.
This is open to the public?
Thanks
