Tools : Hello everyone and welcome to a new chapter of drawing and sketching tutorial with me. In this chapter, we're going to learn how we can draw the facial features like eyes, nose, lips, and ears. Okay. First of all, I should tell you what equipment do need for this chapter. You need a normal pencil and HB pencil, B6 pencil, and b2 pencil. And you also need an editor Eraser that we've always needed it in all our chapters and tutorials. The Normal Eraser. And something that has been added to this chapter is actually a Fader. It can be in any size that you have. But if you have it in the small size like this, it would be better because you can add more details to your work with it. And Atlas, I need a brush which has around two. You see the tip of it is completely route around. I'm also using this brush as a Fader. This is very useful for us. And you can actually acquire this kind of brushes in cosmetic stores or even stationary source. This one I got from a cosmetic is store, but it works well for me. And in hyperreal technique, they use cosmetic brushes to do to fading. Because it actually gives a great softness to our work because it has soft hair on tip have it. So it actually creates soft and smooth shading. So these are the equipments and tools that we need for this chapter 3. Primary ear sketch: Hello again, welcome to the first episode of this tutorial with me in this episode, we're going to work on the ear. So this would be the start of our work. First of all, I should apply the primary sketch of this ear. I'm going to do it manually. So you should look at your sketch very simply. Let me show you with my green colored pencil first. So I have a curved shaped here, looks like a croissant. And I'll try to create it as similar as I can see in my picture. So be careful that you should actually draw your primary sketch with your normal pencil or your HB pencil. As a matter of fact, it would be applied like this. Just trying to get the primary sketch without copying my photo. And this would be the end of the ear. Now, we want to sketch inside of the ear. I have a shape like this over here. Then I come down. In this area, I come back up with a curve. And from here I go in. See, I'm just following the lines the way I see them. And from here with a shape of a kind of a triangle, I move up, see, I consider that area as a triangle. And I create the next line, bringing it up. Then make a turn and bring it down again. And I'll continue all the way down. Coming up in this way. And over here I have a shape like this. And here I can see another shape like this, a dark place like this actually. So fav created the primary and the general shape of the ear. And now I will erase the extra lines. Be careful that you should actually create your primary sketch very lightly because when you want to do this shading, It's very important that you do not leave any trace of your specific lines. And you shouldn't have them actually in the shapes because they all should be faded. And the next episode, we're going to shade this ear 4. Beginning of ear shading: Hello again and welcome to the beginning of this tutorial with me. Alright, in order to start this very attractive tutorial that I love it myself. So I'm going to enjoy the lot. For a starting this, we should start with our B6 pencil and we should start from the darkest areas of our work. And you should apply the various strong darkness wherever you see them, for example, in this area. And working on the darkness. And I come down from here. And just like that, I come down. As you can see, while I'm coming from the darkest areas to the lighter ones, I'm actually fading my shadings. The point I should tell you about is that you should not do this. You should not just cut the darkness like this. That's the one, that's one of the most common mistakes of my students. You should not actually cut off the darkness just like that. You should gradually turn your shades, turn your dark shades into light ones. If you actually pull any borders between your light and dark areas, it will make your work artificial. It doesn't look, It looks fake. It doesn't look real. And natural. So do not do that mistake. I again insist. As you can see as I'm doing here, I'm starting from the darkest areas and I'm lowering my hand pressure as I move toward the center, which is lighter. Okay, so now I get my Fader. And from this top area, a museum hand pressure. It shouldn't be too much, but a medium hand pressure, very slowly. I fade the shading that I've already created. Be careful my friends. The Fader can actually make your work very soft and smooth. But if you use it in the wrong way, if your hand pressure is both good enough, it can actually ruin. Were you ruin your work as much as is can make it perfect. So I start from these parts coming down and I fade all the darkness and all the shades that I've created with my Fader. You see, even with my Fader, I do not leave any borders in my work. You can see the light and colors fading. Okay. Now, while you're working with a Fader, your hand pressure should not be too much that you would actually damage the texture of your cardboard that you're working on. It shouldn't just fill it completely. Your hand pretty sure should be low, not too low. It should be low enough and high enough, strong enough to fade the shading that you've created. Again, I'll use my black pencil to add more darkness, more a strong darkness over here because we have absolute darkness here. And just as easy as that, I apply the darkness and then very slowly all faded downward. Very slowly. I do not leave any borders. As you can see. Again, I'll repeat my process. Okay? So wherever I need more darkness, I would apply more darkness. So that later. I can fade this darkness with my Fader. I fade this added darkness with my Fader. And this area gets darker. Okay. I'll do this until this lower area. Dressed He's not need to work with the speed that I'm working right here. I'm just doing it because I want to save time for you so I can teach you more. But when you're doing it at home, please take your time with it and spend more time on it slower with more attention. This might be a question for you that how we can actually make our Fader cleaner. You should not use your sharpener on a Fader. Never, you should never do that. You should actually drag your fading, drag your Fader on ascending, and make the shadings go away all fit. Okay? Then I bring a little bit of darkness that I worked on this place. I drag it a little with my Fader of words. So there won't be, again, any border or any strong contrast. I can't even get help from my brush in order to soften this part a bit more. Making it more smooth and softer. Just be careful. If you're using a cosmetic brush, you should not actually decrease or increase your hand pressure on your work. Because if you are turning your brush toward this side, you should not just change it suddenly in the opposite side. The direction of my rotation should be the same. If I want to change my direction, I should take my hands off the work. And then again, I bring it in the work and you should not change your hand pressure on your work because it can actually ruin your work. As you can see, I'm not holding my brush or anything, any of my equipment totally vertically because if I do that, you can not see my work, but you should do that. Now again, I get my pencil and then from this top side, again, I start adding more darkness wherever I need it. For the deeper parts, I need more darkness so I am doing the M applying them. So we should also shade these areas. And also from here. Don't worry about those. A strong lights in the middle of your work will work on them later to right now we are just working on the general shading of our work. We're not doing any details, we're not applying any details, or we are not creating any specific volumes. We'll do that in the last step and last part of our work. So don't worry about it. Not yet. We're just giving our ear a background color and a general shape. Now that's all. I've also applied a general shade for these areas. And I'll do the same for this upper areas too. Okay. So just like that, as you can see, I'm applying my shading in different directions. Therefore, they would go smoothly and they will look more cohesive and they blend together. Then we should also apply the strong darkness for this area. Like this. As you can see I'm applying some strong darkness here. Alright? So I'll continue adding the darkness behind this whole inside of the ear. Alright, now I'll start with my Fader again and again. I start from the darkest area. And I failed my shading toward the outside, toward the lighter areas. And very slowly with a controlled hand pressure, I am fading my darkness and failing all my shadings in order not to leave any traces of the pencil. I'll continue this way. Also in these parts, I'll do the same thing. As you can see. I'm moving my hand, sir, calorie, because I want all the colors and all the shades to blend in. And I want all the shadings to be faded. So I'm moving my hand circularity and I am controlling my hand pressure. Again. In these parts we also have the findings, have them everywhere. We have shades. Okay. Now, I'll continue my work from these edges of the ear as well. My dear friends. What we're doing right now is actually doing a background color and a background words. Because basically we are preparing the background of our work in order to add more details to create the volumes and add unnecessary shading in the next step. Here, this in this way stun. And I also Fei these areas. And now I move into my work and I work on it with my brush. I go all over my work ones in order to make my shavings as soft and as smooth as I want them to be. Okay. Now, with b2 or HB pencil, you should go into your work again. And in these areas, very, very slowly and softly and lightly, you should shade the edges. Do not need to use any high hand pressure. So just like that, you're going to shade it here. Then before I continue, I use my editor Eraser. I go all around my work making it cleaner. Then I'm going to use my B6 pencil and start applying the darkness variable. I want them strong darkness because I'm using my B6 pencils, so I am working on the parts which have a strong darkness. Is you can see these parts are very dark. Okay. And just like that, I work on all the dark areas with the same process, with the same equipment Okay. Also from these areas, I would go up again working on the edges. And I apply the darkness like this. Then again with my Fader, I work on the darkness that I've applied just right now. And I'll fade them because I don't want any pencil trace or any borders in my work. None. You should really control your hand pressure and it should be low. You should use a low hand pressure so you can move your Fader more easily. Okay. So from this top part, I'll continue like that. And I'll fade all the lines. I will leave nothing behind. I won't miss even one line here. Okay? Now with my B6 Pencil, I would again work on the darkness of this area like that. And then again, I'll faded with my Fader. So here it goes. Just like that. Now for continue of our tutorial, you should watch the next episode. 5. Completion of ear shading and lighting: Hello and welcome to the continuous of this tutorial with me. Okay. I was saying we should fade all the unnecessary parts with our Fader. And they're ever, I think it's needed. I will add the extra darkness. Now. Again, I'm going to use my B6 pencil in order to create the very strong darkness in my work. You should just repeat this process over and over again. You should apply your colors and faded. Apply the colors faded color fade until you get the volume and the darkness that you want in your work. Alright, Here we go. And from this area below the ear that I have kind of a shade. I will apply the darkness like this. And the darkness for this area is very important. So I should add more color to it, making it darker. Okay? And it would be like that for here. C. Okay. Now I'm going to work on this area as well. We still have some more darkness here. Should be more faded and darker. Just like that. Okay. Now, again, for these parts, I'm going to use my Fader again. Yes, that's right. My Fader. And I'll use my Fader in order to Fader darkness that I've created. I'm taking my time with it very patiently and doing it just like that. And I will not leave any kind of borders are pencil traces in my work and come all the way up. And because I've also added some darkness here, I should drag my Fader on it. Making them Fader, of course. Okay. Now I want to work on the other parts as well. So I'll due to fading wherever I need it. It's very easy. You just have to spend time on it, so don't rush it through. Take your time. Again. As you could have seen, I had a bit of darkness here, so I've applied it and then I fainted my dark line. And then again, apply more darkness. If you don't apply your darkness enough and in the right places, your work would not get volume at all. So it's very important that you actually apply your darkness wherever it's needed and as much as it's needed. Then I use my Normal Eraser and I am tapping it on the lightest parts of fine work. You see these strong and sharp lights. I am tapping my eraser mostly on these areas Then I'll come to here, bringing all the way down. Actually with this, I'm showing that these areas are more prominent. And I'll come all the way down in the direction of this light. And while I'm actually creating these lines, the volume of my work, it's showing itself a little bit more because I am creating the contrast than I need to show the volume. I'm showing that the lighter parts are more prominent and the darker parts are deeper. So they are curved in. Okay. So that's an obvious thing. And now it's the time to show the lights as well. Alright. Just like that, I've worked on the lights. Now. I'm going to use my eraser in order to create smaller lights. Because my SOD Eraser is more delicate. I can use it for the details. And I'm actually spreading the light on my work. So I'll just continue like that. Up to here. And from here. Again, I use my antidote racer to create smaller lights. And going into the details more. I don't need for my model anymore. And I also apply some very soft and faded lights. Okay, then again, I'm going to use my brush and I'll go over my work. So I can even say delights and blend them with the darkness. I'll do this in order to make my work more natural. As I said before, they should look cohesive. And then again, I will apply the stronger lights with my Etude Eraser. This is what my eraser is for. The lights in here, and even some over here. Okay. Now with my HB pencil, I work on some parts to add some very light shapes. And I kinda add some lights here. Okay? Now I'm going to use my Sketching Pencil. For over here. I need a very strong darkness. I'm actually working on the final darkness in this way very nicely. And just as easy as that. We could have created actually V, have created a very beautiful and attractive ear. Just with the help of pencils and a Fader. Just consider that this ear is not hyperreal at all. It's just a simple sketch of an ear. Is just a simple shading and volume ING for and ear. It's not hyper-realistic painting. Okay, Then again with my B6 Pencil, I work on these areas a bit. The strong darkness, the last touches of darkness would be done here. And I can apply them like that. Alright. Then I will use my eraser to go around my work and making the surroundings clean. I don't want it to be messy. And just like that, work is done. I hope you've enjoyed this tutorial and see you in next tutorial. 6. Primary sketch of the nose and start of shading: Hello everyone and welcome to episode of Facial Feature tutorial with me. Okay. In this episode we're going to sketch and draw and nose. In previous episodes, we've worked on an air and today we want to work on other facial features, for example, the nose. For creating the nose. First of all, I'm going to create a circle in this way. Then I create two other circles in two sides of my circle. One circle in the middle, and two on the sides, one on each side. Okay. So this area would be the bottom of the nose. I come up up to here. This would be my nostril. And I'll do the exact same thing on the other side so I can get the other nostril. And from here, I come out. In here. I have the outside of the nostrils, the sides of the nose. That from here I come up and I'll continue moving up. From here. Again, I move on. And this area will be the tip of the nose. This is the most prominent part of our notes. Then I will erase all the extra lines. So you can see the main design with three more clear for you. Okay. Now is start shading this sketch. See, first of all, in noses sketches, we start from the nostrils and I apply the darkness. The way I said, usually the nostrils or the darkest parts of the nose because they get no light. Okay. And also from here. And then I will add some more darkness on this bottom part of the nose. I'll start with my Fader. And in snide fading, these shadings from the nostrils, which as I said before, are the darkest parts of my whole sketch. Alright. Now I should also fade the upper darkness of the nostril toward the main part of the nose. Basically, I just drag this darkness of the nostril, a bit of orange. And then I also shade in-between them and also on the sides of the nose. I fade them toward outside. And then little by little, slowly, I start fading and shading toward inside of the nose. Okay. I can do this with my brush. So it can give a very cohesive shape to me. Okay? Now, if you want your brush to give a good dark shade for you, you can actually apply a very strong darkness on another part of your paper. Then you should drag your brush on that and then bring it to your work. This will actually bring a very smooth darkness and very cohesive darkness into your work. So with my HB pencil, I'm going to shade very lightly over here. And I'll continue that to the top of the nose. To the bottom. All right. Just like this because we also need the nose spreadsheet now. Okay. I'll do the same thing for this side because I should have a symmetrical nose. From here I come down as well. Just be careful that two sides of the nose bridge should be in their own direction. The left one should be shaded toward left and the right one should be shaded toward right. Be careful amount that these fires because they are the sides of the nose bridge. So they would be darker and I will make them darker with my shadings. And I'll do the same thing for below the nose. And again, because this part is in the bottom, it has more darkness. So I consider this area darker as well. Very easily. I don't know, darken the center of the nose bridge and the tip of the nose. Because these parts are more prominent and the tip of the nose is the most prominent part of the nose. So basically it's the lightest area in our nose. I tried to keep the center of the nose bridge lighter and the tip of the nose the lightest. Here we go. Then I'm going to use my brush. And I go over all of these shadings. And just with continuously moving my hand over them, circulatory movement, I will fade all of these shadings. As you can see, I'm moving very slow and I do not rush it. Just take your time with it. And I'll continue until the end of the nose. Then I bring my Fader into the work. And I go over these parts with my Fader now, very, very slowly. I'll lose my work for award to any rush. You should do it a lot of slower than even I'm doing good right now. Because you don't want any mistakes. These parts need more darkness. So I'm adding the darkness with my Fader. And I should do it for both sides of my work. Left and right. Here we go. I'll come down. And from these parts, again, I start fading more. So here we go. Okay. Now I'm going to use my pencil to work on the parts which I need more darkness in These parts all should be darker. Don't worry about them. I'm going to fade them later of course. I'm just giving it enough color. So later I can faded and give it a good volume. Sorry. I'm actually dragging these darkness from the slides of the nose toward inside of the nose Alito. And of course, I'll apply shade on the bottom of the nose. Even the parts between the nostrils. And maybe even a bit over here on the sides of the nose bridge. And then again, I'll use my Fader in order to fade these areas, these darkness and these lines that I have already created with my pencil. I do not want any specific lines or traces of Pencil. Again, I insist on it a lot because it can really, really change your working style. If you fade them. It looks good if you don't. Well, not so much. And just remember while you're working with your Fader, you should control your hand pressure because you don't want a place to be faded too much and in other place you won't have any color. So be careful about that too. While you're working with your Fader, you should be able to control your hand pressure. Okay, as you can see, I am completely fading the darkness and the shades of my work. I'm combining them with the lighter areas, not to create any border between the color contrast. So from here, I'll come down a little. So here we go. I'll make my nose more beautiful from both sides. I add more and better shading to my work just like that. And for these dark parts of the nose, again, I'll do my fading and maybe even add more darkness. Okay. So just like that, I'll fix the nostrils. Maybe even adding a bit of details to them. 7. Continuation of nose shading and lighting: All right. No, I should work on these darkness toward outside of the nose. Therefore, my nose can actually show itself. Okay, Here we go. The background color of our work is almost done, and now we are gradually moving to the details. I'm almost done with the background shading and background coloring faded to Earth. Both signs do not forget this. And here we go. For this part of the nose, I need more darkness so I can get a good volume of my work. Here we go. So as I said before, the next step would be adding the details to the work. Until now we were only working on the background. And we were actually doing get primary sketch, a primary shading. Okay. Now I'm going to use my entered Eraser in order to get the lights that I need on my notes. For example, the light over here, the tip of the nose. As you can see most of the time. So I'm tapping my eraser and sometimes I am dragging it. There's very strong light over here. And they are all need to be done with my eraser. Even in these parts, we can have some light. This contrast between the light and dark is actually giving us the volume. I can even consider some lights for these two side areas. And then I can use my Fader to faint. Disliked it shouldn't be as strong as the light we have on the nose bridge. Then I will use my B6 pencil in order to add more darkness to these sides of the nose so that the volume of my nose can show itself better. Just like that, just like what you see right now. Then you should use your Fader in order to faint these darkness. And do not forget to do it for both sides. Alright. Well, I am blending the darkness that I've created into one another. And I'll shape my nose better. Seen very carefully from these lower areas, these parts below the nose? I create a shadow and a shade towards outside of my work. Here we go. And I'll the same thing on this other side as well. Okay. So again, with my B6 Pencil, I will apply the last touches of darkness on my work. And then I'll obviously faint them with my Fader. But this time toward insight. Alright. And sometimes I get a bit of color on my Fader from this darkness I've created on this part. Just to darken some parts more. And then I'll use my Normal Eraser on this tuple than nose to create a stronger lights. And I use my eraser to create some lines over these parts. Then again, with my normal pencil, I will apply some darkness on these sides of the nose bridge. You should just place your pencil on the Paper or cardboard almost vertically. And you should use the side of your pencil in order to shade this area very softly and lightly. And I'll do the same thing for both sides of the nose bridge. And here we go. Here it is. Okay. Here in this this is a sketch of the nose with pencil. If could be. Actually, we've done it easy. And I hope you've enjoyed it as much as I did follow us for more tutorials. 8. Lips primary sketch: Hello and welcome to a new episode of a Sketching facial features with me. Well, in this episode we're going to work on another Facial Feature. We're going to create the lips this time. Okay, Let's just start creating the primary sketch of this work. I'm going to teach you a method. You're going to use your B6 pencil. And you are going to darken the back of your model picture. You're going to darken the area where your actual model is. So you turn your paper over and you darken the area of the lips on the back. So you should do this completely. Okay. Then you will fix your model on your cardboard or other paper you want to work with. Then you use your white pencil or pen that doesn't have any ink or a color. And then you go all over your model. You go over it's sketch. Okay? Be careful your hint pressure should not be too much that it will actually have a very trace or any texture on the cardboard below your model or underneath your model. Just enough to leave a trace of the model on your cardboard. That would be enough. Just like that. I will have my main and primary sketch. Some of the textures of the lips, which are very prominent, can also be determined over here, can determine their placement. Just like that. I actually put my models side and as you can see, my model is totally copied on my cardboard. You can use this method on all different kinds of models for facial features or even different designs and paintings. Now we are going to start our work 9. Beginning of shading and lips texture: Hello and welcome to the rest of this tutorial with me. Alright, let's us start our work. First of all, I should start with my B6 pencil in order to apply this strong darkness of my work, some places are absolute darkness. So for example, over here. And right from here, I am considering the strongest darkness around the edges of the lips. You see this part is absolute darkness, but as it came up, it got faded. So I'll just do the same thing. I tried to do the same thing. Okay. Just like that. I tried to work on this area that I have total darkness. And then for this area, Okay. Then I will apply the darkness for this upper part. As much as Zion can. Just be careful, you should not bring any darkness into the teeth. You should not bring any strong darkness into the teeth. With my HB pencil, I try to determine the placement of the teeth and leave them. And then again, from this area below the teeth, I start applying my darkness. Okay. Here we go. Just like that. Very easily. All right. So I place my total darkness in my work. As you can see, this part is completely dark. And that's what I've done with it. Okay. Now I'm going to use my Fader. And I'll go over these darkness that I've already created over here. I just go over them with my Fader in order to make these shadings and this darkness cohesive. And then from here I start creating a base of later lighter shades. And I'm actually fading the line of the darkness. Then I'll work on this area as well. I also have darkness in here, so I would actually fade to darkness and drag it a little bit upward in order to spread my shadings a bit more. Okay. Then I shade very faintly. Then from here, I haven't darkness for around the lips because the lips should be actually separated from their background. So I apply this darkness with my Fader. That's right. With the Fader. Just snack that I apply the darkness. I create my upper lips edge. As you can see, I'm moving all around the edges of my upper lip and I'm doing it with my Fader. And as you can clearly see, this side of my lip is not a line at all. It's totally faded towards outside of the lips. Here we go. Just like that. I apply the darkness wherever I need them. Okay. Now, I want to take my B6 pencil and very softly and lightly, I'm going to create the shades on my lip. It means that from these parts, I will create my darkness. And over here, we also have some more darkness. It's the lower part of the upper lip. Therefore, it's a bit dark dark hair comparing to the rest of the lip. I mean. And this darkness very slowly goes up and it will get lighter. I'll do the rest of the thing with my normal pencil because I wanted to be more cohesive. See as I'm moving up, I am using less hand pressure so I can have a lighter shade until the top. Okay. Then from these side areas that we need more darkness. I will apply the darkness. So basically, I'm adding more dark colors in these corners of the lips. Just like that. Alright. Okay. Well, I also consider some kind of darkness and some shades for the upper parts. And now I should fade all of these parts as much as I can with my Fader. First, I started with these darker areas of my work, and then I move up to the lighter areas. And little by little, step-by-step. I am bringing the darkness to our the upper parts of the work and fate them into the lighter areas. So just like that, I will fade all of this part on the upper lip, all of these edges on the upper limb, and they would be cohesive and blended. Especially this area. I actually guide this shades towards outside of the lip. And I'll face them. Just be careful that you should not lose the main area of the lips. Should not lose that. While you are you now fading this area. Now we've done the background coloring of our upper lip, and then I'm going to use my B6 Pencil to apply some textures on the lip From this corner. And I tried to create the textures that I can see in my model has many as I can see. Because they are in dark shades. I am creating them with my pencil. And as you can see, I am doing it randomly, totally random. In this area. I'll do the same thing. Comparing to this area. The textures would be lighter, but again, I am applying them randomly and as much as I can see them. But they would be lighter comparing to the right side. And then I will use my Fader to fade these lip texture is that I've just created. So one-by-one, I'll fade each one of these textures. Alright? And then again, I start applying the more stronger darkness in some parts like these lower areas. Well, you know, applying darkness in these lower areas will actually help your lip to get a better and more volume. So red confidence you should apply these darkness. Over here. Again, I insist this work is not hyperreal at all. It's just a very simple Sketching and shading of the lip only with a pencil and a Fader. Alright. So there should be more darkness for these areas like that. And then again, I use my Fader so that my Fader, I should also fade these textures. Even in the textures, we don't need to have separate lines. Okay? So here we go. Alright. Now I actually work on these parts. I'll fade them. And I also apply some more darkness for this top part of my upper lip. Here it is. I'm almost done here. Came forcing the rest of this tutorial you with Bain next episode? 10. Continuation of lips shading and lighting: Hello again. Welcome to the rest of this tutorial with me. Okay, Let's continue together. Again. I'm going to use my B6 pencil. And this time I will apply the darkness that I need or is specifically. And of course in linear way. I increase the amount of darkness. I will use a higher hand pressure. And randomly, yet more specifically, I create these textures and I work on them. Okay? Also we need a bit of darkness over here. I also have some small textures which are actually here. I can use the side of my pencil, side of my pencils tip to apply these small ones. And I will also fix this light area like this. And actually I work more darkness in its surroundings. Therefore, this light can show itself even better. I use my Fader and I'll do the fading all around it. So if you make its surroundings darker, it will show better. Okay, Here we go. Alright. Now I'm going to use my eraser. And you see, just like that in some parts that I can see some volume. I'll use my editor Eraser there. Actually, I will drag my editor Eraser between the textures that I have created. This way, I can create a contrast and create a volume. You can even use your Normal Eraser to create these kinds of lights. Okay, I actually bring this contrast in my work. Now again, I'm going to use my B6 pencil. And again, I will go over these textures on the lips very, very slowly. I get them out of there. Just linear shape. Like this. It's very easy to do, should just pay a bit of attention. I also placed the wrinkles, the corner of the lip. And then I'll do it like this. I am working with very small lines. And then Just like that, I will also apply some wrinkles on this corner of the lip. Then again, I'm going to use my attitude Eraser and with my editor Eraser, I'm going to create some strong lights. Alright. Now, I'm going to use my cutter to cut my editor Eraser corner ways so it has a sharp end. And then with that sharp end, I'm going to create these very small lights next to my small textures on the lip. Even on these parts. I'll do the same thing. And even over here. Okay. Now, for making your work more beautiful and increasing your contrast. If you have a white pen, you can actually create your strong lines with your white pen. You can use it in some places, not everywhere. For example, I'm going to use my electronic Eraser. It has almost the same effect as the white pen. If not, you can use that. If you have neither, you can continue your work with your enter the eraser as well, because we're now going to work in hyperreal style. So there is no necessity for that. But I can apply stronger lights with my electronic Eraser. So just like that, I can apply these textures. Alright, Here we go. And some are light textures. Over here. I'm trying to do them the way I see them in my model. Okay. Now I want to work on teeth. I'm going to use my Fader. And from the top very slowly and very carefully. I drag some of the darkness down. And in spreaded in these areas that I can see the shadow of the lip on my teeth. You can clearly see that in your model. And I'll do the same thing on the sides of the teeth and the edges of the teeth because the darkness there should be more. Okay. I also have some very darker spots on the side, teeth. And the darkness of this tooth as well. Alright. Now I'm going to use my HB pencil And I'll determine these parts even more. I make them pop more. And I would also go on these parts that are left from the site teeth. Again, you can use your eraser or if you have electronic Eraser, you should use that in order to create a strong lights in your work, especially in teeth area. Brands say in white or very light areas. Just as easy as that. Then again from the top, I bring some more fading downward. Okay? And I'm going to use my B6 pencil in order to redo the strong darkness of these parts. Just like that. And that's enough for the upper lip. Okay. We're done with the upper limb and now we have to move on to the lower lip. Again. I should just start with applying the strong darkness at first. So I'm going to start right on the edges, which are the darkest part of my lower lip. I start applying the darkness there. And I'll fade this darkness upward toward inside of the lip. And with a bit of distance, again, I apply this darkness over here for this area below the lower lip. And also kind of a shadow should also be placed here. So would look like this. Now, I'm going to consider a very general shading for my work. And in these areas, I will work darker. And also over here, these parts should be darker. Considering my model. So just in that way, I'm gonna do it. I'm just trying to give it a background color, trying to find the patterns. Then generally just connect the shades altogether. I want to make them look more cohesive. Then again, of course, I use my Fader and very slowly and carefully, I'll try to fade the shadings that I have here for the lip itself and also for the shadow below it. And I even come from these edges, from the sides and corners toward inside. So C and I also fade these lower shading and shadows the same way. The process is basically the same. You should just try over and over practice over and over to get used to it and to get a handle of it. And now I'm going to use my entered Eraser in order to create delight areas because the light areas are more in this part of my model. My preference is that first I would create delights and then later I'll create the darkness. That when I've worked with the darkness, creating these lights won't be hard for us. Okay. I would also work on this lower part of the work. Okay. Alright. That's it. 11. Lip texture details and final lighting : Hello again and welcome to the rest of this tutorial with me. Alright. Well, I'm going to take my B6 pencil. And with my V6 Pencil, I'm going to work on this lower part, the bottom part that I've had my darkness and I are randomly go to the top parts of my work and see very slowly and in the right direction of the lip. I said randomly, but the directions should be correct. Don't be mistaken about that. And also from here, I want to have stronger darkness exactly as I can see them this way. Alright. And also from here, I would work on some textures for the lower lip. Again, I'm considering the directions are very important to me. And I'm controlling my hand pressure. I don't wanna go too dark or too light here. Comparing to my model, I should apply darker textures, but they shouldn't be too dark. I'm just creating them darker because I want to create that shine over the lip. And also for this area, I'm going to go all around this light right in the middle of the lower lip. Alright, and now from the top, I can bring some, again random textures coming down. And I'll go all around this shine on the lip. Now. I should emphasize a bit more on the wrinkles, the textures, and even some points, dark points or light points on the lip. I bring some shadings from this part right below the lip because I want to show that my lip is prominent, so the part below that should be darker. So it can be separated from its background in this way. And in these parts, I'll do the same. Then I get my brush. And I actually go over all these lower parts and top parts and fading all of them very softly and slowly. And then again, I'm going to use my editor Eraser to emphasize on the strong lights. Part by part. I will apply and create the light areas. I would also consider some horizontal lines for these areas. It would look like this Alright, and also the lights over here should be done. Okay? Again, I should work on this, a strong light over here and consider some stronger ones for there. Now, I'm going to use my HB pencil for applying a bit more of the details. Okay. Now, I would also have to work around the lip. We can even have the shine of the teeth by getting their surroundings just a bit darker. In that case, they would show shinier and lighter. And as you can see, I'm going even in the corner of the lip. Okay. Then again, I will use my B6 pencil in order to add a bit more of dark, dark areas and dark textures over here. Okay, up to here is enough. So here we go. I would also have to apply some darkness in this area. And basically over here so that my sketch will show itself perfectly. Okay. Now, we should also work on these textures for the last time. These would be the Touch Ups. I'm going to darken them a little just in case they've lost some of their darkness. So I'm just adding some lines over here and there. And dressed as easy as that, we could create this beautiful lip. And then I'm going to use my Fader. And I will actually play some points on spots around the lip. So I can show that there is a skin texture around the lip. It comes to work. Okay. You should just spend time on it. You should then rush through it, be patient, and go on with it. And I'll do the same thing on this side as well. Okay? And then again, I'm going to use my brush to fade and make all the colors and shades more cohesive and blended into each other. So I move all around the work and I fade them. Okay, I hope you've enjoyed this tutorial as much as I did. See you in the next episode. 12. Eye primary sketch: Hello and welcome to a new episode of facial features tutorial with me. Okay? In this episode, we're going to work on one of the most important and one of the hardest facial features together, which is the AI. Yes. Actually the eyes are the most important facial features of any sketch. Because if you sketch it wrong or right, it can obviously tell everything about your sketch to your audience. In order to copy my model and get the primary sketch of my model on my cardboard. Still I'm going to coping method, which is darkening or black cunning the back of my model. And then I'll put it over here. And I move on it so I can get its original design and primary sketch on my cardboard with a colorless pencil or pen. Let me just get eyebrows as well. This should be darken to like this. And you should actually work in blacken behind all the parts that you need. Okay, now I can start copying my model. I start my work from the parts which are the main lines of my work. Over here. And here. I start copying. I'll do this same thing for the pupil, the iris corner of the eye, even the light inside of the pupil. Upper eyelid, the lower eyelid, her face area, lines of the face. And of course, the shape of the eyebrow, which just starts here, continues all the way and ends here. Okay. Alright. I can also determine the placement of the eyelashes as well, especially for this area that they are coming out of the eye. So later I won't face any challenges in my work. Okay. After I was sure that my sketch was copied perfectly, I just take it off my work and as you can see, it's been copied completely. In next episode, we want to see how we can shape this work 13. Start shading and iris details: Hello again and welcome to this beautiful tutorial with me. Okay, Let's start again together. First of all, I start with my B6 pencil again. And I start with this darkness right in the middle of the iris. I would also tell you the hints which are important in order to create natural eyes. I'll tell you. See, first of all, as usual, I apply my darkness very confidently wherever it's needed. Just be careful. The darkness is not too much here. And it grows as it comes to the center or bursitis and Trump the pupil. So here it goes. Now. From the sides. Also create shade upwards. Now I want to work with my Fader and work with that. So from this area, little by little, I'm going to fade this area toward the middle of my iris. One of the problems that so many of the students have is that the IRS is not completely circle. This is very important that your iris is totally a circle. You should not created like an oval or something like that. This is a very common mistakes among students. So I also drag this darkness to our, the pupil itself. And even over here, it has some kind of fade shape. Okay? Now I'm going to start with my B6 pencil. And I started working from the edges of my iris. I am applying some dark lines from the edge of the iris toward the center of the eye. Okay. Here this. And over here, I would also have some linear darkness from the pupil toured outside. And also very strong darkness from here would be made. Okay. Now, I want to start with my Fader again. I want to work with my Fader again. And I will go over all of my work, totally fading it. See everything we've said before. It's still true here. You can not leave any lines and they by themselves should fade all the dark lines. Then I'm going to use my entered Eraser in order to create some light texture inside of my models pupil and iris. As much as the darkness and the shades are important, the lights are important to. Then with my Sketching Pencil, I am going to try to get this texture correctly inside of the eye. Alright. Then again With my B6 Pencil, I come to work and I apply the darkness wherever it's needed. So in some parts we have darker shades and I'll just do it. I have to apply them with my pencil. Okay. So just as easy as that. Now for around the iris, there is a point. Again. So many of our students are mistaken about that. Even some teachers and professors are mistaken about that. The point is that they just leave the iris as specific line border. It means that they do not fade the edges and the borders of the iris, which is not correct. So you should not forget to save all the edging lines of the iris. And you should actually fate them toward the iris itself and a bit toward the outside. It shouldn't look like lines or borders here. Also from here, very slowly, I start shading. It should have a light trace of shade. So I'm just going to do it. And obviously as you know, we're just doing the background colorings mostly. And then I fade this area slowly upwards toward the eyeball itself. So first I did a background color and then I added some details to my pupil and iris and basically to the eyeball. And I should be very careful that in which part of the eyeball I have more darkness as the shadow of the eyelashes or the eyelid on the white parts of the eyeball. Okay. So it's gonna be like this. Also from this side, from this corner of the eye. Okay, Here we go. Then I would also add the darkness for this side of the eye. This part. The other corners should also be done. Okay? Then I use my failure again and fade this area to. I even faded a little tour the eyeball because I don't want any borders here as well. We leave nothing as a specific line or as a border. There ever you leave any borders, it will actually make your work look fake. Okay? Now with a bit of distance, is start creating the lower eyelid. The parts where the eyelashes will grow. The base of the eyelashes is very important in I, Sketching. I see in so many designs and a sketches that they don't have a base for eyelashes on the lower eyelid. And there's just a line and the eyelashes are coming out of there. Now, it's really fake, so you should not forget about the base of the eyelashes. Then we'd my normal pencil, I would like to shade this area this way. Okay. And From the corner, I start, actually I continue my shading with my HB pencil. You should do this very slowly. So the skin of our model would not be dirty. Or you won't get any extra darkness very, where you don't need it. Okay. Here it is. I should also have some more darkness on this area below the lower eyelid. And then very slowly I bring it up of faded toward the top of the lower eyelid. Okay. Just like that. Here it goes. I'm actually shading in all directions. So I can get a good Shake. It can get a good texture. Then I pick my B6 pencil in order to add a stronger darkness. In some parts, not everywhere. And then from the side parts, I'll do the same thing. Then I move to the sites. And of course, after that, I'm going to use my Fader. And I fade the shades on the lower eyelid. Just like this easily. And I'll continue to the bottom of my work. Okay. So still over here, even below the eyelid, I should fade this area in a way that it doesn't look like a line. It doesn't look like separated. It won't look like separated. Which it doesn't now. But again, I insist if you leave it as a line, it will look separate it and it will look fake. Alright, then again with my B6 Pencil, I start applying the necessary darkness for this area. I should just repeat this routine over and over again. As long as I guess the amount of contrast that I want in my work, I should just add to darkness, fade again at the darkness and Fader again until I get to that point that I'm pleased with it. Okay. And then again, with my Fader, I start fading. Has it is obvious in this way. Okay, Now for the continuous of this tutorial, follow us in the next episode. 14. Upper eyelid and skin texture: Hello again and welcome to the rest of this tutorial with me. Okay. We were doing in the previous episode, we're going to continue our fading process. I'm just going to continue fade this area more and more. And then again, I apply the darkness with my B6 pencil. Okay. Here it goes. Again with by Fader. I'm just going to shuffle between the Fader and the pencil. And over here, I use it more. Just a tad darker. And of course, from here on, I am considering this shade and this shadow which is created by her nose. Okay. Now it might entered Eraser. I'm going to create the base of the eyelash. And as I move up, there's a very, very light area here. Now. Again, you should call to your Eraser with a cutter, making it's sharp. And after death, you can create these light textures for this area. Pay attention to this movement of my hand going back and forward with the eraser in it. Even over here we have some strong lights. And also from here. Okay. Now, if you have an electronic Eraser, you should apply some strong lights with your electronic Eraser. And if you don't have that, it's okay. The S is Eraser will be enough. So solves a necessity, but if you have it, it would look better. And strong shine over here. And this goes for this part of the eye as well. Okay. Now we your HB pencil. You should darken and shade all around this light area in the pupil. So its surroundings would be darker and it would look even lighter and shinier. So I'll continue like this until these parts. Okay? And as I've inserted several textures with my eraser, I'll apply them with my pencil to. I should actually work on the eyelashes. But first, I want to work on the upper eyelid as well. And then we can create the eyelashes altogether for the top and for the bottom. Now with my B6 Pencil, immediately, I move on to work on the upper eyelid, shading it and designing it. So these parts are actually the very dark parts which they go like this. And these parts, these front parts which are lighter. I'm going to shade them with my HB pencil. So they look like this. Okay? And then again, I'm going to repeat all of this same procedure. I'm going to use my Fader in order to fade these parts completely. So just as easy as that. With a little bit more darkness for this part of the eye. Okay. Here it goes. Then again with my B6 Pencil. From this area. I'll start my work. And I also add the light of the work later. Okay, here it is. I'm going to use the same shade for these areas to, and very faintly, I move up like this course. And I cover all of this part. All the areas should be covered. And then I get to this area. It's the dent actually behind the eyes, the curved part above and behind the eye. So I apply more darkness for this area. Okay. And for right now first, I should fade all of the darkness that I've created here. And then I should move on to the next step. Okay? So just like that, very generally and very slowly, you should fate this area. You do not have to work as fast as I'm doing here. Again, I say that I'm working really fast over here because I want to save time for you and teach you more things. But when you're practicing, you should really take your time with it. Spend time on your details, on your background working So please keep that in mind. Now as you can see, I faded all this area, especially the strong darkness which we have over here. Okay. See over here I have a line shape. And this line shape should actually fade away. That's why I'm moving my pencil on it. And at the same time, I'm dragging some shades out of it. The bond to the bottom or to the top part. So my work can actually be more natural. Okay. So just like that. Alright, let's apply the darkness. And then I'm going to start from the upper eyelid in order to apply the textures. And as you can see, my hand is just moving back and forth. And it's quite random. And then with Eraser, it might entered Eraser. I'm going to create some more details, some lights and stuff like that. So I'm going to work on the lights like that. Very easy. It's done. And again, even after applying the lights, I can use my pencil to create some more darkness as the Touch Ups and as some details right in between them. I'll do the same thing for the lower eyelid. So be with me in the next episode. 15. Upper and lower eyelids and eyebrows: Hello again, welcome to the rest of this tutorial with me. Okay. Now we are going to continue this with our editor to Eraser. We should create the lights that we have here in our model. I'm erasing these areas with my eraser Eraser in order to create some wrinkles on her skin. This can give us a very good texture. We even have them on this top area. They are less but they exist. Okay. So it goes like this. Okay? Now I'm going to use my HB pencil. And then I'm going to darken between these lines that I've created. I'm actually applying this darkness in-between the lights so that the light areas would pop out and they will be showing more. And in this way, I get a good skin texture. In my work. I even create some small hair-like this. Then I'm going to use my B6 pencil in order to apply the darker skin textures. Okay, Here this and I would also increase the darkness of this area one degrees. And then I use my Fader to help this process. Here we go. And I'll continue up to these parts. I'm actually dragging this darkness upward with my Fader, as you can see. Okay? And I will also work over here beneath the eyebrows. And I'm applying shades because I don't want them to be only some lines. Then again, I'm going to use my acid Eraser to apply some a strong lights in their own placement. I can even use my electronic Eraser to do that. Okay. Now let's start creating the eyebrows. See, first of all, I'm going to darken the base of my eyebrow like this. And then like this or not, I'm going to use my Fader to, again shade this area above the eyebrow. I create this kind of faded shade. And even over here, then I bring the eyelid D eyebrows, sorry, on top of it. Okay. Now, with my B6 pencil, right from the beginning, right from here, very slowly, I start drawing the eyebrows. There is one rule in creating eyebrows or hair-like this. And that rule is Your line should be sharp at both ends. C, you should create your lines like this. It should be actually the, your hand pressure should be low, high, and then low. Again. If you can practice this separately, creating hair would be easier for you. So again, I insist in order to create any kind of her, especially here like this, you should have lines which are sharp at both of their ends. From all these parts. I'm working and I'm creating these lines. And then I am creating darker hair. And I making it more concentrated. I want more of them. And just as easy as that. Very, very easy. Okay. You should only have repetition in the middle of the eyebrow. Just do it over and over and over again. The concentration of the eyebrow is more in the middle. I should do the same thing over and over again. In the beginning and in the end of the eyebrow, we have less of them so you can use a lower hand pressure. But anyways, okay. Now, something that I should do right now is that I should take my brush and dry it from this bottom part of their IVs started my eyebrows. I start creating that faded shade from the bottom of the eyebrows, moving all the way to the top. I'll do this slowly. Of course. I don't have too much pressure on my hand. Then I will use my HB pencil in order to create the very thin and fine lines. Because I don't want my eyebrow to be just cut. All of a sudden. I want them to be natural. In order to show that natural quality of the eyebrow, I should create several thin lines and then eyebrows from the bottom and top. Okay. And also in these corners and the sides, I can create very small hair lines with a very low hand pressure. We've already worked on the eyebrows. And we want to work on the eyelashes now, which are really similar to the eyebrows. Over here, I just apply a very light shade. Okay. Now let's just start working on the eyelashes. Just be careful when you want to work on any kind of hair. The CFO of your pencils should be totally sharp. C, from the beginning of the eyelashes. You should start and then drag it and then throw it off the end. Just drag and let it go. For these eyelashes. In the end. I'll do this method in it for here. I'll do the same thing. The difference that one eyelash would go from above and the other one would go below. So again, the same kind of lines are used here, sharp at both ends. So if you practice them, you can also be more successful here. Very easily. You can create natural eyelashes. Okay? So just like that, I apply the darkness over here. Let's work on the lower eyelashes to again. I draw them. I draw one and the other one goes right next to it. Okay. Then I also worked on the lower eyelashes. And for the finishing of our work, I want to work on the last touches of the darkness around the iris. On the sides, on the edges wherever they are needed. And dressed as easy as that we could have actually sketch a beautiful, I hope you've enjoyed this tutorial has as much as I did, and I hope it was good for you. See you in next tutorials.
