Your goal in this project is to duplicate drawing styles and techniques of the Renaissance. Drawings by Leonardo Da Vinci serve as extraordinary teachers of the many drawing techniques developed during the Renaissance. The subject is based on a drawing of a girl's head by Leonardo da Vinci, and you work in graphite instead of silverpoint.
This tutorial walks you through the process of drawing a female's face using a variety of drawing techniques. It also explains how to sketch proportions, outline facial features and add shading with hatching.
