3 passos fáceis e criativos para começar a desenhar retratos HOJE!

Hello D,I just published a NEW class! If you've been around for the past few days, you probably have seen announcements but now it's live and ready for you to dive into drawing eyes. Here's the link:skl.sh/3uHcuoMI hope you'll enjoy it and have a fun time drawing. I am looking forward to seeing your comments and projects. I'll do my best to answer any of your questions as soon as I can. Also, if you have the time, please leave your thoughts and a review of the class so I can make even better classes in the future. I wish you all the best and please remember, have a fun time drawing. :)Milan

OUCH! (kidding)... I appreciate all your feedback. I knew you were going to talk about that tilt in the source! (The page was tilted when I took the picture.) BUT, I see all your points.One thing strikes me about the feedback on this (maybe other) exercise(s): I've been free-flowing, happily doodling along paying attention to process, rendering a fair representation, and demonstrating an attempt at applying the lesson; but definitely not focused enough on precision.[Caveat because I know you're an artist and teacher...] Your feedback is very precise (down to the eye socket) relative to structure, technique, aesthetics, etc. That level of precision in a "beginner's" class is, at first, surprising, then incredibly helpful, challenging and motivating.I've been doing "true" portraits a long time as a hobby, without formal training, and they've been good. With your level of review and feedback, I can certainly grown tremendously.

I'm back from school, let's talk about your work in a bit more detailed way. The first thing I noticed is a slight tilt of the skull on the reference image that is missing from your work. I would recommend taking it slow in the beginning costly studying the proportions of the skull as well as the placement of the main features such as cheekbones, jaws, and eyeholes. Even before picking up the pencil. Also, measure carefully and compare each part of the skull to one another. For example, I think the hole for the nose is a bit too low and should be closer to the right eye. Also, put straight lines whenever you can, especially at the beginning stages, simplifying the shape as much as you can. In this example that relates to the bottom of the jaw and the upper left side of the skull. Once you established overall shapes you can add details with a softer pencil, 4B for example. Look for negative shapes to guide you through the process of drawing. To clarify, those are the shapes that surround the skull. One such shape is the hole between the teeth. See if it matches the one in your drawing. It doesn't have to be exact as on the reference but it's a great tool to check your drawing. Drawing skulls is a very good way to get better at drawing portraits, and understanding what is beneath the flesh. I'm really glad you decided to go that route. It can be challenging but the reward is even greater as at the end you'll be ready to tackle drawing any portrait. I would recommend that you get a model of a human skull, in order to see it from all sides and get a better understanding of where is what and how all bones are connected to each other. It's one thing to look at a reference image and totally different thing if you can hold it in your hand and observe the changing of the planes of the skull. Another approach is to look for the right kind of references online such as these:<a href="https://in.pinterest.com/pin/291537775890585925/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">in.pinterest.com/pin/291537775890585925/</a><a href="https://in.pinterest.com/pin/68745475182/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">in.pinterest.com/pin/68745475182/</a><a href="https://store.3dtotal.com/products/human-head-anatomy-planes-of-the-head-download-only" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">store.3dtotal.com/products/human-head-anatomy-planes-of-the-head-download-only</a><a href="https://oss.adm.ntu.edu.sg/17s1-da1000-tut-g04/wp-content/uploads/sites/1949/2017/09/JohnAsaro_HeadReference_01.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">oss.adm.ntu.edu.sg/17s1-da1000-tut-g04/wp-content/uploads/sites/1949/2017/09/JohnAsaro_HeadReference_01.jpg</a>Finally, it's very hard to make a portrait straight from imagination based on the skull. I don't think I've even tried it so I deeply respect your effort. I would draw skulls, many of them as well as simplified models of the head until I engraved that knowledge into my brain. Later, when I would draw portraits, I would look for the bone landmarks underneath the skin and that would help me greatly to make a good representation of that portrait. Understanding goes hand in hand with exercises. If you don't know what you're drawing or why you're doing it, it's much harder to get better. Those are just my thoughts, let me know what you think. I would love to hear what you think about my feedback. Was it helpful? Was I too harsh? All I want is to help and if I make any mistakes, I would like to change. One last thing, thanks for leaving the review for one of the classes. It's much appreciated. If you could do some other ones that would be... just great. It helps my classes to be seen by other people as well and I'm very grateful for each review. Best wishes, Milan

Hi Burton, Thanks for sending another one of your projects. I love seeing them. Right now I'm at school, teaching art, so I can't give you a proper feedback at the moment. I'll do it when I get back home. Hope that's alright. Have a nice day. :)
