  • 6.3 Omophorion and Phelonion 13:53

    Learn to depict the full figure with the omophorion and phelonion, including how the gospel book is held and whether the hands are covered, while assessing reverent iconographic canons.

  • 6.4 Omophorion and Phelonion 24:05

    Explore the drawing of the full figure in Byzantine iconography, noting cuff details, relaxing gesture, and how crosses appear within vestment forms.

  • 6.5 Sticharion, Epitrachilion, Epigonation and Face4:29

    Explore drawing the full figure in Byzantine iconography, detailing the Sticharion, Epitrachilion, Epigonation, face, tassels, and lines along the robe to reflect rank and hierarchy.

  • 6.6 Sakkos and Polystavrion7:19

    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.
