Drawing a Self-Portrait with Crayons, RISD Art Professor Demo

RISD Adjunct Professor Clara Lieu demonstrates how to draw a self-portrait using a mirror and a color layering technique using Caran d'Ache Neocolor I crayons. Prof Lieu shows how to set up your easel, drawing, clamp light, and mirror in order to have a smooth drawing experience. Prof Lieu walks you through the thumbnail sketching process and then how to transition from the thumbnail sketch to the final crayon drawing. Blocking out a foundation of colors is showed and then more complex layers of colors using the Caran d'Ache Neocolor I crayons is shown through to the final drawing.
