Draw an Emotional Graphite Portrait with Juan Perednik
Juan Perednik is an Argentinian graphite artist who uses his grasp of classical drawing techniques to bend artistic “rules” and bring his imagination to life on the page.
“Drawing,” he says, “is the most sincere form of art and the foundation for working in any other medium.”
Juan's “obsession” with drawing in pencil has led to commercial work for celebrity clients like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and earned him a passionate fanbase of ~100,000 followers on Instagram.
In this lesson (41 mins), Juan draws an abstract portrait meant to convey his inner emotions as much as the likeness of his subject (above).
