Portrait recording: Odera
🕑 Added 2023-11-07 13:34:15 +0000 UTCThis video is a recording of a live Zoom portrait session, aired on 6th Nov 2023. It is shared here so that you can catch up and draw from the session if you missed it, or continue to work on a portrait if you attended live. As this is a recording of a live Zoom session the quality is limited by Zoom and will be a lower resolution than our our tutored sessions which are recorded locally and undergo more rigorous processing before their release. Please feel free to work from the video directly, or to take a screenshot to work from - if you take a screenshot please do be mindful of the photo guidance below. To get the most from the recording, make sure you adjust the resolution in the cog wheel in the bottom right of the screen to ensure maximum resolution, selecting 1080 resolution.

About the model
- Odera Igbokwe (pronouns: They/Them) is a painter and illustrator, whose artwork explores storytelling through Afro-diasporic spiritualism, Black resilience, and redefining the archetypal hero’s journey. Their artwork weaves together ancient narratives with Afrofuturist visions to explore present day embodiment. Odera works with clients and galleries to create work that is deeply personal, soulful, and intersectional.
