Drawing Progression over One Week
The gallery of drawings below were all made by one student, Harry, in September 2022, during the the course of his participation in a one-week-long DRSB Workshop, taught by Brian Bomeisler. The workshop was held virtually, online, with careful instruction and different exercises practiced day-by-day. Ultimately, Harry went from his first attempt at a self-portrait to the beautifully rendered self-portrait in the final image. But along the way, Brian taught him the Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain techniques pioneered by Betty Edwards. The results speak for themselves!
