Draw an 'Un-Ruler-y' Portrait with Mike Creighton

What happens when you draw a face without measuring a single thing?

In this lesson, artist Mike Creighton sets aside all tools of precision—no plumb lines, no sighting angles, no proportional grids—and instead follows his eye and intuition wherever they lead.

By removing the safety net of measurement, Mike invites you into a process that’s more alive, more responsive, and—perhaps unexpectedly—more liberating.

You’ll learn how to stay present with your drawing, make peace with imperfection, and trust the rhythms of observation over rules.
