Drawing a person is one of the difficult stages in the course of art classes. And if repeating the silhouette of a figure for many novice artists is not difficult, then not everyone can convey the facial expression the first time.
It is necessary
- - paper;
- - pencil;
- - eraser.
Instructions
Step 1
On the prepared sheet of paper, draw the markings that will help you navigate in space. Note the location of the head, the direction of gaze, and other aspects that are most significant in your case.
Step 2
If you are drawing in front view, then mentally divide the face into two parts: upper and lower, draw a thin line. The eyes will be located at this level. Took a profile - draw a conditional vertical line indicating the location of the ear and separating the scalp from the face.
Step 3
Mark the location of the nose, eyebrows, chin, eyes. Don't go into details, just indicate where they will be located.
Step 4
Draw the hair with light movements, pay attention to significant details, the direction of hair growth, the location of the shadows.
Step 5
Move to the eyes. The ability to accurately convey a glance is a real art, few venerable artists can boast of it. The cut line should be correct, so take a close look at the sitter's face (or photograph). If you are drawing in close-up, do not lose sight of the eyelids, fine expression lines. Do not forget about the pupils, due to which you can "adjust" the direction of the gaze.
Step 6
Draw the eyebrows according to the growth of the hairs - from the bridge of the nose to the auricles. Don't compare them to sausages, make them more natural.
Step 7
Before drawing the nose, mark its tip. It will be much more difficult to lengthen or shorten this element in the finished drawing, so it is better to immediately bring the dimensions closer to the real ones. Some artists do not draw the nose in the smallest detail, but use shadows to convey its shape. This technique will allow you to avoid incorrect placement of accents.
Step 8
When drawing a mouth, make the upper lip darker than the lower one, play with shadows - only with their help you can convey the desired expression to the image.
