About this lesson

A ten-step Cubist portrait drawing: place the features, shift them to suggest front and profile views at once, break the head into planes using the Asaro head, add synthetic hair shapes and a triangular background, then colour with muted, varied hues. Explains analytic versus synthetic Cubism along the way.
