Como desenhar um rosto

Hi Lisa,Great job on this portrait. As you say there is always room for improvement but this is an excellent starting point. For your concern with the eyes, a good thing to try would be setting up measurements for the eye height and lightly penciling those lines in to give you a good idea of size and proportion before you start. also notice that on one eye you have drawn it with the iris touching both lids and on the other there is a larger iris which sits slightly off the lower lid. one Side will always feel easier to draw then the other and the way to solve this is practice. The more you draw the easier it will be to be consistent.Overall your facial proportions aren't too bad. I would probably have lowered the mouth separating it from the nose a little more ( I am assuming you are drawing Marilyn and so working from my memory of her face), I also would have reduced the space between the nostrils. To get a clearer idea or proportions you can always do a rough sketch first and then step into doing the final artwork and that will allow you to see the small inconsistencies in an otherwise beautiful piece.For your query about the blending stump, again it takes practice, but a good tip is to draw lightly with soft pencils (2B, 3B, 4B, 5B etc) and then use the blending stump to work in the lead. This will allow for a cleaner finish without lines, Also generally focusing on laying consistent shading with just the pencil is a great practice to do, and then you can blend to perfection. the foundation is key to success in this technique.I am so glad you enjoyed the course. Iff you are looking to do another one, for you I would recommend 'warming up to Crete your best art'. This course helps you train your eye and hand and improve your art through simple exercises that you can do before you go into drawing a completed piece or as part of a sketchbook exercise.Keep creating, Cara

Thank you so much for the detailed feedback! You are right, a warm up before sitting down to sketch would probably be a good idea. Also, it takes practice, lots of practice. I have been sketching every night while my husband watches his t.v. shows. It is so relaxing. I will definitely take the course you recommend and any others you create. Love your video lessons!

I am still having issues getting the eyes right. One appears larger than the other. All facial proportions appear to be off. I also don't know how to get a nice blend with a blending stump with out lines showing. All that said, I am having fun. I have been doing one each night for the past few nights as a destresser. Thanks so much Cara! Can't wait to take more courses from you.
