Drawing people is a challenge! Start with some basic proportional cues that will help you site the shape of a head and plot features on a face. See how to use drawing skills you already know to capture an accurate profile. Step by step we’ll work in graphite to build faces from shape and line and apply principles of light on form to flesh out a portrait from a few lines. Enjoy this fun new challenge and take your drawing in a fresh new direction!

A self-taught artist, Marjorie began her career dissecting and illustrating Australian land snails at Chicago’s Field Museum but soon returned to her passion – drawing plants.

These illustrations continue as the “standard” for prehistoric flora research.
