How to draw Portraits


Human faces have always fascinated artists and to be able to see and seize the likeness of a person, using pencil and paper is a stimulating and inviting prospect. To quote Frederick Franck in his book The Zen of seeing, 1973: "when ing drawa face, a face, it is as if curtain after curtain mask after mask falls away... until a final mask, one can more be removed, reduced." At the time that the ing drawis complete, I know many on this face, for faceless can hide for a long time. But, while nothing escapes the eye, all is forgiven in advance. The eye not judging, sanctimonious, criticize. It accepts thanks masks as is the long bamboo being long, the goldenrod is yellow. »

There are many excellent tips y which you can use to help you to draw realistic portraits and the big thing art is that there is definitely no right or wrong with how you go about it and the end result - it is the process and the pleasure that are important.

The distance between the bottom of the Chin and the level of the eye is the same as the distance between the level of the eye and the top of the head.
The distance between the bottom of the Chin and the level of the eye is the same as the distance between the corner of the eye to the back of the ear.
At the bottom of the ear should be approximately in the middle of the space between the bottom of the nose and upper lip. This invisible line is also the approximate location where the back of the neck reaching the skull.

Other tips:

Decompose the eye pieces and just draw the shape that see you the white of the eye and then do the same for the shape of the eyeball.
