Drawing: A lesson, a tutorial and a documentary

This post I made is mainly for my daughter Angela. She loves to draw and paint.

I hope you enjoy it too...

"Artist Merrill Kazanjian breaks down the process of drawing from a photograph and simplifies it in to three steps. A time lapse demonstration is done at the end. Kazanjian's videotaped himself drawing a pencil portrait over the course of an hour. Kazanjian narrates as the hour-long drawing is sped up in to three fact filled minutes. It is a great video to see if you want to impove your portrait drawing skills. This video covers, contour drawing, drawing from observation, crosshatching, tones, breaking drawings in to shapes to simplify the drawing process and drawing the features of the human face. It is an instructional, traditional drawing, video. For more drawing tips from Merrill Kazanjian or to see his art, contact him through his website; merrillk.com"
