Description 

Welcome to the Introduction to portrait drawing with pencil! In this course you will learn how to draw human facial features, first separately and then when they all come together in a portrait! I will start from scratch and teach you all the ups and downs and the ways you can use in order to draw perfectly.

So,  I start by introducing all the materials that you can use and what are the best ways to use them. At this part, you will learn about different pencils, where and how to use them perfectly to achieve the results you are looking for. Also, other tools accompanying your pencil set such as erasers will be introduced and their usages will be discussed.

Then, through a method in which you can use the axis lines as your guide to draw perfectly, I will teach you how to draw a woman’s eye from different angles. After that, I will focus on female and male eye drawing, shading and hatching, a process in which you will learn how to draw and shade human eyes first separately and then when they come together on the face. This eye drawing and shading focused part is accompanied by an old man’s eye drawing and shading as well.

On the way to go through all the human facial features, I will also focus on the nose and teach you how to observe, draw, hatch and then shade different types of human noses from different angles.

Later on, I will teach you how to draw and shade human lips and create its texture.

In this course, you will also learn how to combine all the facial features you have learned to draw and shade separately and draw a human portrait, step by step.
