Portraying people is undoubtedly one of the most difficult aspects of drawing. Expressions, movements, emotions and gazes add a series of challenges not present in still life and landscape techniques. In addition, the scant number of books specifically about drawing children leave many of the particularities related to the portrayal of childhood unresolved. This book, now in paperback, fills this void, offering a method to acquire an excellent command of painting and illustration techniques. Using live models, photographs, videos, drawings of faces and entire bodies, either posing or simply naturally, it contains a step-by-step, detailed explanation of how to draw children. Through an introduction to proportions and by teaching readers how to sketch more freely, it captures both physical and psychological artistic transformation in an exercise in introspection and memory of one's own childhood. Portraying Children is intended for illustrators and those who love to draw, parents and relatives, and anyone else who wants to capture the memorable, enchanting and fleeting moments associated with childhood.
