Making notes: In the video the lady said that she was going to focus more in the dark shading and make notes of the darker shades to make sure she is on target. She would darken the spots that make it more obvious that it is a face portrait like example his hair and his jawline. Also when she was doing the light side of the face she would take notes on where his ear would be to structure the face properly and to draw where the forms of his face should approximately be. Making note is where something should be around not exactly where it is but getting an idea of it.
Pushing: In the video she would push the dark shades in more for example in the eyes which is doing deeper with the charcoal and making it darker.
Modelling: In the video the lady was trying give some highlights with white and she said she was just modelling and it will not be exact because it is more of an idea where it should be.
Photocopying mode: This means that when we are doing the playful portrait we should think like a photocopying machine so we can see the light and darkness of the image. Squinting works to separate the dark from the light. Photocopying mode is when the picture is black and white.
Describing: She added negative space to describe the edges of his face.
Not symbols: Not symbols means that draw the portrait playfully and not worry if it looks like a person or not. It should just be loose and looking for the form not really focusing on making the features and symbols exact.
