How to Make an Accurate Portrait Drawing
MOST important skill to learn: patience!
If you are patient, you WILL be able to make significant progress in this class.
- Spend some time finding a good location with strong lighting- Spend more time looking and measuring than drawing- Get the basic measurements down first- TAKE YOUR TIME - If you don’t get your measurements right, your drawing will never look
right- Start with the biggest shapes first and work smaller:- 1. Overall shape of face- 2. Location of eyes, nose and mouth- 3. Simplified shadows- 4. More refined shadows- 5. More refined shape of nose, eyes and mouth- All of this must be correct before you move on to shading- Check and double check- STAND BACK from your drawing every 10 minutes - Simplify at first- Use lighter marks than you think you need - You can always get darker; its much harder to lighten a dark mark- Wrinkles, faint lines and creases will be very faint -
