Portrait Painting Critique
Artwork by Jasmin, Drawing Academy student
Dear Natalie and Vladimir,
Hope this finds you well! I’ve painted this portrait, but I am not happy with it. I was hoping you could share your opinion of it with me.
What should I have done differently to make it more visually interesting? I feel like the composition and technique have issues but I can’t put my finger on what’s wrong.
Thank you so much in advance! I appreciate you!
Kind regards,
Jasmin

I drew this portrait using constructive drawing principles. I think this one is more on point.
How to draw great portraits
Portrait by Molly, Drawing Academy student
Hello,
Thank you for your time. I’m experiencing some problems with rendering my drawings. I feel like I’ve got a handle on the likeness etc. but the rendering is leaving me frustrated. I can’t seem to get the hang of hatching and cross hatching. As you see in my picture it looks too rough and crude. When I blend it looks better to me. However, I know from your course that graphite should not be blended. How to fix this problem?
Thank you.

An Exercise in Pencil Hatching and Drawing what I Know
Portrait by Emily, Drawing Academy student
I just enrolled in the Drawing Academy a few days ago, and I am already glad that I did. I have been drawing for most of my life, but I was quite amazed at the concepts and skills I have been learning here which are almost entirely new to me. I have read a little about the hatching and crosshatching techniques in years gone by, but I never actually employed them much in my own works.
My first portrait drawing from life
Portrait by Angelina, Drawing Academy student
I have made a portrait with graphite pencil and I drew it from a live model. It was my first time drawing a portrait of someone from life except for myself from mirrors.
