1. Introduction: Hello, welcome to drawing class. We created lesson from
very basic to advanced. And these lessons are for
drawing portraits faces. You will learn how to draw
faces from beginning. Once you've completed
this lesson, you will be able to draw
a complete, full text.
2. Drawing Portrait Part One: Hello everyone. So today we're going
to learn how to draw a portrait photo from
a reference photo. So here we have my sketchbook. And I'm going to use this reference photo
to draw a portrait. So as you can see, I have drawn some
details reference from the photo to replicate this
and use it on our portrait. Here we have outlines, some of the details like eyes, nose, lips, and
the face overall. So now we're going to recreate this reference images
into our sketch pad. It's not necessarily
needed that we need to replicate exactly as
the reference photo. And then you have to
understand that we are learning how to draw
a portrait like that. So you don't have to be hard on yourself and just
go with the flow. But for that, we're
going to need some basic guidance for
recreating a photo or sketch. So we're going to start with the middle line that we draw. If it helps, you can use how do we draw the main reference line? And now we're going to
create the distance. So we can see we have
the middle plane nose. You can do one more thing. You can just copy
this from here. This is just to give you a basic reference
for the human face. So I draw a basic grid lines for the placement of the ears, lips, nose, and eyes. So now I'm going
to create a draw, a rough outline of the
face from the grid. As you guys can see, she has this square jaw line. Here. We're just drawing a
rough structure of her face. Okay. Now we are adding just the
basic structure of part. Start the detail step by step
with the shadows as well. Okay, so we're done with the
basic outline of the face. And now we're going
to start adding some more details into the face, starting with the ice. And, but before that, we're going to erase
these reference lines for smoothing the detail. So now we're going to just erase those
different lenses so that it doesn't get messed with the details that
we're going to follow. Now, it's a long process to finish the sketch as much
time as it can give it to. So it will get more
furnished, more detailed. So it's up to you how much time can you spare on a sketch? So it's better to
start off with nice and easy so that you
get fluent of it. So now we are going to add details step-by-step,
one-by-one. We have to draw the
actual structure of Phase. And then we
will have to start detailing with the shadows
and highlights and et cetera. But we'll have to keep moving on and going back at the same time, working on the details. And you can work on this
details as much as you want. It's totally up to you until, until we get satisfied
with the result. But as a beginner, I would like to say that
don't be hard on yourself and focus on the basic shapes
that if we are a team, those for now, it won't look as much as the reference photos because it's only the
structure of the face. And as we move along, it will look more natural
and more realistic. So you have to trust the process and keep
fade on yourself. And it doesn't
have to be as much as accurate as the
reference photos. I mean, first you have to
get the structures correct. I mean, so that it
doesn't look so surreal. Yeah. We need to work
on the basic shape and the structure of the portrait
that we are drawing. Then we move on
to the detailing, which includes Shadows and
shades and highlights, which gives the 3D perspective
look that we want to gain. But before that it
is very important to structure your drawing so that it doesn't go out of
the place and on. So yeah, keep that in mind at first and then
work on the details. You don't have to jump
right away to the details just for the sake of you want to get it done
as soon as possible. So take your time and
walk through it and shows the process because it doesn't matter how
detailed do you do if it doesn't give you
proper perspective, look up what you're
trying to portray. So it's very important to understand the functional
characteristics of the portrait than to the realism and shadows
and highlights. They are just bonuses to the portrait that gives
it extra unnatural look. But you have to work to
the structure first. So now we are done.
3. Drawing Portrait Part Two: With the reference lines. And we're going to
add some details to the parts that we
think needs to work on. No, I'm not going to go to the shadow part of the face yet. And I don't want to
go into details. The very soon. I just wanted to
work on this trunk. First. Did as much awesome. She has a very sharp
jaw line and it will get more specified when we do the shadows
and highlights. So don't worry about that much. And just go with your
natural instincts. Like, Yeah, where do you
think needs a little work? Horns and all. I'm keeping it very light shavings to keep the stroke. Sure. You move to a new line. No, you can use as much
as reference like that. You want to keep the
perfect proportions. Can see I have added a new reference line
for the eyebrows. Shape of the eyebrow. So it's going to come
off isn't truly means. It's also okay to make
mistakes as much as you want. But don't be hard. I mean, like I'm
wanting I'm using here is HB pencil for
a lighter shade. Because with the B and the age, there's a lot, much
difference here. Because as you can see, there's B and it's quite a
bold and that's soft pencil. And with the age, it's quite hard once, so it leaves marks. Once you start drawing it, and when you erase the marks, it leaves a certain
amount of the pressure. Are they marched underneath, but we'd be pencils. You doesn't give you much
more because it's quite soft and it allows you to make it bold as
much as you want without the pressure or with
the pressure, whatever. But with the h canceled, we have to be very sure
about very careful about how you use those
pencils on the sheets. So when you move on to the
next phase of the detailing, it doesn't get interrupted. Now, I'm going to
start with the ice. Okay, so now we have the basic structure of the
face that you can see. The eyes and nose
and lips are almost detailed to their exact
location and plasmons. I mean, the lines and where we can add details to add
more details to it. So now we're going to start with shading and we're going
to start with her hair. Because as we go
further, I mean, we can't start from the end and go upwards
because in that case, we will smudge the sketch. And that's why we always
start from the top to bottom and work accordingly from
left side to right side. Because when you go from right
to left side, then again, you smudge through this
process with your hands. So it's not very professional. Also, you can use some papers or something
to give you this help. But also there's some
problem because when the paper gets frictions, it also causes the smudge. Because when you use
the darker shades, it's more soft and bold
and more dry, dark. So when we start using those, it gets more message. So it's better to start with the light tones
and then gradually go with the darker ones
because you don't want to go first with the dark ones
and smudge the sketch. So we're going to start
outlining the hairs. And gradually we're
going to use the sheds and more shadows and
highlights to the hair. So let's start with the
basic outlines of the hair. And I'm still using an HB pencil for this
because I want it to be a light tone and I
want to gradually go up with the boldness
and the darker shades. So let's start with them. I'm using this shading
technique to understand where the light and shadows the
hair I'm going to use. And that's why I'm using
this light can sell. To highlight those areas. I think there's some
extra volume the hair, so I'm just going to reduce it. As I'm going to
start detailing now. So I'm not gonna use
this HB pencil anymore. So now I'm going to move
to either treat TB or TUV as you feel
comfortable with. So I'm gonna go with 3D. So as I have almost the final
structure of my portrait. So I'm going to start with the detailing of the ice first. Because I always expresses the most of our feelings
through our face. And that's the part we
need to focus on mostly. So I I personally prefer to start with the eyes
and gradually with the nose and lips and
the other form of the other parts of the face. So I'm going to start digging. As I paint. This freebie pencil is a bit too lighter for
me at this stage. So I'm going to use six
days for the pupil.
4. Drawing Portrait Part Three: So we're using the shade and shadow
feature of the sketch. And we're going to create
some highlights later. But we're gonna start with
the shade shadows first. Tell you can see I'm only using the pen tool to give like
the basic shape and all. I'm still haven't started
much the chat apart yet. So now I've started to some shade shadow shading because I'm using
this six B pencil, so it's a lot more bold. So I'm not going to
use all the part of it because it kind of leaves a green grainy effect
on the sketch. So we will wash it out with
less bold pencil later. But first, we need to have a foundation for which
I'm using this pencil prior to use the pencils for another lighter pressure so that you don't leave any marks. You can dose reference marks. Now I'm going to use the shadow part of the London. Hello. As you can see, I'm giving an overall tone
effect on the face. Then I'm just going to blend it. So I know it looks super weird because I've just
given her a tone. Now I'm going to start mixing it and the lighter tone first. You can also use this blender. You can also use this blender, but using Blender
first and then to bed. Now, using the blender. Well, liked her too much. It's gonna get better. Trust me, it looks like she
has a face mask of Han. But eventually we're
going to use the shadows and highlights her
face features. So we will make sense a lot more than these are just the
basics of the face. We use now. Okay, so now we are gonna
take off some of the shapes. Blend it afterwards. You can also use your hands. More natural, keeps
a nice Blender. The texture of your finger. Now, the pod. You can use the shadows. Because we did the
basic tone of our face. For the darkest tones. We're still using
the six B pencil. Now I am using the pencil. Now I'm using the
pencil six weeks for the eyebrow.
5. Drawing Portrait Part Four: So I'm slowly starting to shade. Now I'm going to start
with the leaves, six B pencil here. So I'm going to start
with the basic shapes. Now I'm going to use
freebie pencil shading you six different concerning.
6. Drawing Portrait Part Five: Now as part of the photo, I need to work on the shadows on her chin more so that
it gives a narrow feeling. Me she has a square jaw, but because of the shadows, her face looks session. So I'm going to use some shadows and
colors that I'm using. Six feet of snow. Kay, stuff covered, the
dog gets carved up. Okay, so now I'm going
to use For B pencil or the shading. Okay. So she looks like ovary
now, but it's okay. Once you finish
with the shading, it'll look more natural. So don't worry about it
and trust the process. Okay? So as you can see, the transaction
from this to this, the gradual tone that I built. So the same way we're
going to do this side. I'm going to come
at this part later. But first, you need to
shape his or her face. To do that. Just smoothing it with hand. Very light pressure. And you have to be very careful because you
want to smoke to only those points mark there because it could go to the
lighter part of the phase. It's going to get messy so far. And you can see that I'm
only smudging the ages, not the actual shade. Not so light. Now I can the small
one to it like that, but you have to be very gradual and because there's
no hard shadow place. So we have done
every bit of grace. I'm not sure. Look, now I'm going to darken the part again. Some parts. But still I have
to do the shading first and smoothening
much as possible. And I said you have to
smooth every sharp ages. You can see she's
turning out pretty well. Now before I come
to the bottom part, I'm going to start with
her hair and HB pencil. When the energy to
give it outlined. So as you guys can see, it's gonna be more
darker shade, I mean, the black version,
1210 V afterwards. So I'm setting the
base of the hair with a TBI because it's gonna
be the darker shade. This whole track
setting in the base. And I'm leaving in the same
way that we did before, where we would have
the highlighter. I'm using light and shade. It's gonna be way more darker. So I'm just setting
up the veins. The top card can get so very ancient. Spin up one way or another. So just trust the process. Keep practicing. The more you practice, the more you'll understand
the difference. As you can see, I'm done
with the base, the hair. So now I'm going
to use the blender and run the grains and
make its remainder. Now, purposefully, doing
this outside of the line because we have some frizzy
hair coming out of her bunch. So just enhance the look. It's more natural like that. Okay, so here we have
the base for the hair. Now, I have ten. Here. Who's going to start? Now? We're done with the
black shade detail here. So do the hair detailing. We're going to use
six B pencil again. You can see I'm drawing.
7. Drawing Portrait Part Six: Yes. So now the D tilde, your shadow here. Here's another here. So I haven't done any black
highlighting on her face. So it looks a little mundane, but it's going to come
around, don't worry. Good morning. Now, I'm using six B pencil
or the shading of the body. So here I have done the very basic tone for her body. Now I'm gonna Use the
shading techniques. Now I'm going to use
the blender from the lightest part of our body gradually to
paradox this tone. Now, I always find it better
to work with the fingers. So that gives more smoother
look to the sketch. Here. I'm just using my
finger to nose. Smooth, grainy. And so. It's just my personal preference
for smoothing it out. But yes, you can
use the blender or any other team to
smooth the surpluses. Because it's smoother, it gets
the realistic it becomes. Always use a brush to clear the risers. Now, we have still
a lot to do too, and we haven't even started
with the detailing. So there's a lot to
do with the details. So more or less we have
done the basic keyboard. So now we're gonna move to here. To do that, I will use page
to cover the protein for me. Okay. So I moved to her here and one by one and add more detail
to her hairline. Okay, so I'm using the
six B pencil again because that's the
lighter tone here. Now, I'm moving on
to her eyebrows. Give it a more challenging no to just hard.
8. Drawing Portrait Part Seven: She huge for B pencil. Going to start
with her forehead. Okay, so now I'm gonna
move on to her eyes. Before that, I'm going to just add this line more boldly
with an HB pencil. And then I'm just
going to shade it. Markings of territory here. Using a six week, ten. No, it's a process where you can detail as much as you want, taking as much
time as they want. But this is just
the overall well, the best thing you can do
a portray in two hours. But the rest is up to you. However you use your time. That a little more detail. Share those here as well. So here it out come so far. And as I said, you can work on it
as much as you want. With as much time as
you intend to devote. More time you give it, the more natural
and detailing. See. So try to give it a nice time and also
practice as much as you can. Because the more you practice, the more you are going
to be fluent in shadow, shading and highlights along. And it will be much. Easy for you. And after a while they're
going to just take as much time to perfect it. More time, you can give
it a more perfect detail. And yeah, that's how to draw a cold
Craig from a reference photo. But it doesn't necessarily
mean that you have to do exactly as the
reference photo. You can practice the
course and then you will be more and show fewer, be more skilled to add
more details and all. It's totally up to you how
much time you give it. The more time you give
it, the more curriculum. And also it's all
about practice. So practice as much as you can. So this little highlight the forehead. So here we have
our final product. And as I said, it depends mostly on how you depends mostly on
how you use your time. So here we have our portrait. So here we have our
portrait and finished. And that's a tip that it's
a kind of a meditation. So take as much time as you need and as slow as you can be. Be very, very specific
on your details. And try to use a higher selection photo
for reference so that you can get to the
details some more and enjoy sketching. Thank you.
