TIPS & DEMO by Life Drawing & Portrait Teacher Frank Gambino

Get our guide ‘Life Drawing Success’, which is all about the one big mistake which led to all my other mistakes: http://lovelifedrawing.com/lifedrawin... Mayko and I attend a great life drawing class in London with art teacher Frank Gambino. He is full of technical insight and gives extremely accessible & practical advice about portraits and figures. Frank's Instagram:   / frankgambinoart   I think Frank is one of the best life drawing teachers out there, especially for beginners and those still finding their feet. He is able to break things down into very simple bitesize chunks while retaining the fun. He isn’t about formulas and academic rules, but he is very practical. I went to his flat and he drew a portrait of me as a recorded demonstration. While doing it, we talked about all sorts of portrait and life drawing topics. This video has some highlights from that, focusing on Frank’s approach to drawing - how his drawings emerge from corrections, how he learned to not be precious about lines, how he draws the two sides of the face or figure and more. The other thing to say about Frank is that he has developed a powerful and distinctive style with his charcoal drawings. We’ll talk about how he learned and developed in the next video.
