Three-part time lapse of Caracalla drawings in charcoal
Kieran Ingram has been giving demonstrations for OCAD for many years. A Florence trained artist, Kieran has incredible skill that our students hugely benefit from. Enjoy seeing one of his drawings develop here. Those who wish to learn such refined skills, can do so with regular check-ins with Kieran.
In this Caracalla series Kieran is working from a sculpture in the Met Museum collection in New York. This is a great exercise for learning traditional drawing techniques in charcoal. The MET is a great free resource for artists who want to copy from high quality images and references. In this first session Kieran shows you how to get started with a light and loose block-in of the main shapes and shadows.
