In this course, we will cover the methods, techniques, and exercises for you to learn how to draw a realistic-looking portrait in pencils.
We will study some theory points for a good foundation to work from. We will study the basic structure of the human skull as the basis on how to draw a portrait and get familiar with the underlying base over which the face is constructed.
We will study two methods to learn how to draw a portrait:
1- The Loomis method (names after the mater of illustration Andrew Loomis) on how to draw a portrait.
2- A method I call the “Oval Method”, which consists of building a face from an oval shape and gradually adding details and refinement to construct a face, with fewer steps but just as effective with consistent practice
We will then focus on the features of the face, which are the eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips, ears, and develop their details through further tracing and shading techniques.
Through the practice of the exercises illustrated and provided, you will be able to draw a portrait free-handed by the end of this self-guided course.
