1h 32m
In the first installment of this three-part series, Loginov begins the portrait of a young woman by discussing the materials he uses and demonstrating how to properly place the head on the page. Emphasizing proportion and balance, he establishes the overall gesture and orientation of the head, using light construction lines to define the basic structure of the face. This early stage focuses on careful observation, spatial relationships, and laying the groundwork for a refined and accurate likeness.
