DesriptionIn this DVD, Ron focuses on creating a male portrait from the front, three-quarter and profile views while covering the fundamental tools of drawing with traditional media. He discusses and demonstrates the features of the head through shape analysis, a breakdown of the Abstraction and Construction Methods, and how and why he uses them. Insight into shading and how to control the tones and lines drawn are also covered. In addition, a few bonus drawings titled "Warm Ups" break away from a step process and develop similar results in a more freeform way. All artists types, from fine art to commercial, will benefit from this demonstration. Instructor for this title: Ron Lemen

"Ron Lemen is one of the most gifted teachers in the field of entertainment. His art speaks for itself and his ability to educate runs just as deep. Ron is a passionate artist with an innate gift for communicating complex creative theory into easily understood theory. When I run into Ron's students, the comments are always the same 'Ron is the best teacher I've ever had.' I witnessed Ron in action many times at the international art and design workshops and online. No doubt you too will learn a lot from him."
