Step 1
Drawing portraits of women, artists try to emphasize the unique features of their appearance: beauty, elegance, originality. Even imperfect appearance can be reflected in a portrait with special charm. It is important to find a "zest" in a girl and present it profitably.
Step 2
When working on a portrait of a girl, always pay special attention to the eyes. You can draw them a little more than they are. Many artists, depicting women's eyes in a portrait, use one little trick that can be useful to you. Professionals lightly rub the paper on the back side, and because of this it seems that the eyes in the drawing seem to be shining. Do not forget about the lips - they must be clearly defined.
Step 3
To add a little more appeal to the girl in the portrait, make her hair more lush and longer, or correct the oval of her face. Details will help to make the female look more interesting. It can be a flower in your hair or earrings - experienced artists at first glance understand what exactly is worth adding to make the portrait look complete.
Step 4
Don't paint a portrait of a woman according to strict academic rules. It is much better if the image of the girl in the portrait is slightly embellished, but at the same time you should not be too zealous. Otherwise, the one from whom the portrait was painted may not recognize herself on it.
Step 5
Drawing a child's portrait from nature is quite difficult, only a true professional can do it. Therefore, most artists prefer to paint from photography. Choose the most successful photo of good quality, and it is better if there are several of them. By enlarging the photo to fit the portrait, you will immediately notice that it will become much easier to work on it.
