The easiest way is to draw a portrait of Pushkin in the style characteristic of the writer himself, in the form of a sketch in the margins. But if Pushkin drew such sketches literally with a stroke of the pen when he was looking for rhyme, an unprepared person would need a little more time for this.
It is necessary
paper, ruler, pencil, eraser, brush, black paint
Instructions
Step 1
The first thing to do is a blank. A straight line is drawn vertically on the right side of the sheet. Another straight line is drawn perpendicular to it, and two trapezoids are built, which have one common base. The height of the upper trapezoid is about twice as high as the lower one. It is important that the upper trapezoid has a sharper base angle than the lower one.
Step 2
To draw Pushkin's forehead and nose, it is necessary to draw a line from the obtuse angle of the upper trapezoid, which slightly departs from the inclined side to the middle and rushes into an acute angle, which will be the nose. There you need to smooth out the corner and outline the nostril with a line. Then you need to step back from the edge of the nose and draw the upper lip, which will take about a third of the height of the lower trapezoid. The other two-thirds are the chin.
Step 3
Approximately at the level of the place where Pushkin's nose passes into the forehead, stepping back a little, you need to draw an eye. The two oblique lines at the top represent the upper eyelid. Below one oblique straight line is the growth line of the lower eyelashes. A few strokes can indicate the iris of the eye. At the same level, you need to draw a shifted eyebrow of the poet and outline several wrinkles. Without lifting the pencil from the paper, you need to draw Pushkin's bushy sideburns, they are drawn according to the "herringbone" principle, as in kindergarten. Use a line to separate the hair growth zone from the neck.
Step 4
It remains to draw the curls. On the forehead, they are raised upwards, and form curls at the back. Pushkin was proud of his hair, so you shouldn't leave him with two or three curls.
Step 5
Now you need to remove the extra pencil lines and draw all the lines of the portrait with black paint with a thin brush. Paint over the sideburn area completely. When the paint is completely dry, go over the drawing again with an eraser.
