Pencil Portraits Without Tears

Have you always wanted to be able to draw a reasonable portrait likeness, either of a person or a pet, but you end up doing more erasing than drawing, or you just don't like the result? There is a theory that many of the old masters used an optical tool to aid them in capturing a likeness: the camera lucida, but that is expensive and difficult to use. In this class you will learn to use an app that runs on an Apple or Android phone or tablet computer and helps you efficiently transfer a digital photo image to your paper and will also help you with shading and other drawing techniques.
