Artists of all skill levels will love this beautiful selection of facial illustrations and step-by-step drawing sequences that all begin with simple line drawings. Susie Hodge includes a selection of head-and-shoulder portraits of couples, children, babies, and older people in a variety of poses, showing a range of expressions. The helpful two-color method clearly shows how to craft beautiful finished pictures. Amateur artists will discover techniques to hone their observation skills through the study of facial structure and the use of shape, while more experienced artists will find inspiration for capturing the individuality of each subject.
