How to depict personality in portraits
As a Drawing Academy tutor, I often get questions such as "How to portray personality?" Such questions often come from amateur artists who think that there are some special "tricks" or "secrets" they need to know to depict personality in portraits. Professional artists do not ask such questions because they know that good portraits need good drawing skills, not "tricks". Such portrait drawing skills are based on the foundation of constructive drawing, classical canon proportions and anatomy for artists. Above all, they require obsessive practice. If you want to learn how to draw realistic figures and portraits that portray model's inner world, you can consider the Life Drawing Academy Correspondence Course
