Retain Likeness in a Turning Form

👤 Learn to turn flat outlines into living form. In this 2+ hour demo, Albin Veselka shows you how to preserve the likeness of your subject while rotating and sculpting the head in space. (Disproportion and flattening be gone.)

🔄 Rotate the head convincingly while keeping character intact
📐 Use negative space and structural anchors to guide form
📏 Build underlying forms so that the portrait reads as solid and dimensional

A perfect course for portrait artists ready to push beyond static angles — giving your work more life, confidence, and three-dimensional believability. 🕒 Runtime: 2+ hours

Albin Veselka

Born in 1979 in Wyoming and living most of his life in Idaho, Albin's interest in art came at about six years old. He is very grateful to his parents who were instrumental in encouraging his interest and development in art even when resources were scarce.
Albin credits the knowledgeable and student oriented faculty of the BYUI art department for giving him "the tools all representational artist must have to open the door to communicating in the visual arts". Early in his career he also received direction which helped him break into the gallery scene while he was a college student. Since then he has continued in developing and have been blessed to receive recognition and honors that have aided his progress.
