Establish the head-to-foot baseline and rough outlines to build the basic figure. Apply one-and-a-half head proportions for body and arms, and raise shoulders for elderly saints.
Learn to draw full figure in Byzantine iconography by outlining form and placing circles. Apply the cross pattern on Sakkos and Polystavrion with a grid and shading for lifelike detail.
Draw the cocoa starting just above the head and align the hair with a perfect halo circle, ensuring harmony between the head and the halo.
In this course (Part 2 of Series 4) we will continue to draw full figure Saints and their garments, by putting into practice what was learned in the series on Garment Basics.
In Section 1 we will be studying the bishop's vestments including the phelonion and the sakkos.
In Section 2 we will be studying the garments of priests and hieromonks and will draw the contemporary Saint Amphilochios of Patmos and discuss the difficulties that arise in drawing contemporary saints.
Finally in Section 3 we will learn how to draw the deacon's vestments.
