Standard Edition: Portrait Drawing, Part 2, Tim

In this video I have taken all of the portions of the tutorial where I am only painting, not talking, and sped them up 5500x. This means that the entire video is about 30 minutes rather than 3 hours. In this way I hope to make the information in these tutorials more accessible.

Defining the term, "Apelles Line."

Apelles Line is a term I use a lot and I have been asked for a good definition of it. This post contains a link to an article explaining it in depth. I would also like to offer you a useful definition explaining my colloquial use of the term: The border in between two convex planes which tends to be accentuated by a highlight.
