Drawing portraits from imagination

Drawing portraits from imagination - As a Drawing Academy tutor, I advise my students to draw from life, memory and imagination. Drawing from imagination is one of the most important ways to express your creativity. However, before you would be able to draw realistic portraits from imagination, you need to start doing it from life, and then from memory. Creativity without skills is like a story without some spoken language. To fully express your creativity, you need good skills above all. Every person is creative. Only a few have great portrait skills. To be the best artist, you need to learn the skills of craft. This is what we can help you with.
