11:35 Design Homework 29 Baseline Portrait

We we move into the 4th Quarter we are going to pivot to our 4th quarter Sketching unit of Portraits.

I realize I sound like a broken record, but this is simply what colleges and employers want to see in their applicants. I realize I sound like a broken record, but this is simply what colleges and employers want to see in their applicants.

First – we are going to get the baseline. We want to have a starting point to see what your skills are now. We want to compare what you do this week to what you do in June – a before / after.

Throughout the quarter we will be doing projects to practice:

  • portrait ratios – there is some math which helps describe how a face is laid out
  • eyes
  • noses
  • mouth
  • ears
  • hair

In this first portrait sketch I want you to draw a human from the next up. No body. No headphones. No scene. It can be you, generic persona A, or a celebrity.

Scan and save your file as “(lastName)DH29.jpg” and have ready for next Monday.

12:15 Lunch (30 Minutes)

  • No food in the room / eat in the Cafe.
