When drawing, it’s important to capture a three-dimensional image and to be aware of what you can’t see. I’ve captured the image in three dimensions and placed it in the center.
In this illustration, it faces right, so the center is closer to the right. The center of the nose, mouth and chin are on the center line of the face. This will create a natural flow and make it look neat and clean. The flow of your hair will change depending on the hairstyle and bangs you want to draw.ĭivide your hair into several sections and draw them as if they were attached to your head. Try to keep the flow of your hair in mind. It’s visually disjointed and uncluttered. To try it out, cover one eye of the picture with your hand to make it easier to see. The height of the left and right eyes are not aligned with the direction of the left and right eye pupils.Ĭan you see that the right eye is facing sideways, but the left eye is facing forward? Width and height of the left and right eyesĪs a composition, the width of the back side of the eye (the right eye in this illustration) becomes smaller, but The best balance is about an equilateral triangle when the center of the eyes and the center of the mouth are connected. 3 : The position of the eye parts and the size of the left and right eye I recommend to draw from the lower lashes of the eyes to make them fuller. The cheekbones are just below the eyes, so the puffiness will be a bit higher. Make the distance from the top of the head to the head of the eyes and from the head of the eyes to the chin about the same.ĭraw the volume of the hair a little larger than that. If you draw a round shape and then add cheeks and chin, it will be easier to balance. 3 : The position of the eye parts and the size of the left and right eyeįirst, draw the head instead of the hair to capture the shape of the head properly.
If you’re not quite there yet, you can at least use your newfound abilities to sketch people in the airport as you’re waiting to travel for the holidays. Find some nice photos on Facebook of your family members, transform them into portraits, and give them away as gifts. So, in these next few weeks, I suggest that you download the free eGuide Drawing the Human Face, and implement what you learn there.
You start to notice things you’ve never noticed before - a small freckle here, a fleck in the eye there. You won’t know the feeling until you do it, but there’s something about putting their facial features on paper that gives you a glimpse into their humanity. It’s strange to say, but one of my favorite parts about drawing a portrait is getting to know the person you’re drawing the portrait of. I am happy to be writing this blog post so close to the holiday gift-giving season because I think it will serve you well in the next couple of weeks! This is the last article in the series of Craftsy-sponsored posts on TPK.
