How long does it take to learn portrait drawing
As a Drawing Academy tutor, I often get from beginner artists such questions as "How long does it take to learn good portrait drawing skills?" Here's the thing - it is not just about portrait drawing, you need to know more basic things as well. For example, if you do not know how to draw in perspective, how would you ensure your portraits have correct foreshortening? If you cannot draw a prism from life, how would you depict a nose, which can be simplified as a prism? Also, if you have no idea what lies beneath the skin, how would you draw the shape of a head correctly? It might take about one year for an art student who already knows constructive drawing to learn how to draw realistic portraits. However, it might take about three years to learn those constructive drawing principles before taking on portraits. That is why we prepare an individual drawing curriculum for every art student in the Life Drawing Academy Correspondence Course to ensure one would get the best education according to personal skills and needs.
