"Then, with many clear step-by-step demonstrations of technique, you'll learn how to assure the proper proportions and placement of features - with the head straight-on and in various other positions; draw each feature - including the eyes, nose, mouth, ears and chin; use values - along with highlights, cast shadows and reflected light - to create depth, weight and a feeling of solidity; communicate various facial expressions in your portraits, from anguish to glee; and work from a live model - you'll learn all about creative lighting, finding the best pose, backgrounds and more." "Finally, watch from start to finish as Paul creates nine lifelike portraits of a variety of people in different poses and lighting conditions. As he draws, he fills you in on the mediums, materials and techniques he uses to achieve a wide range of effects and expressions."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
