(2478,2,'2015-12-26 23:54:54','2015-12-27 07:54:54','<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2472 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/whitney-houston-reference-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"whitney-houston-reference\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nWhitney Houston is still considered an icon even to this day. Despite her problems with drugs, who she married, or how she died, she is and will always be a great influence to future generations to come. As you can see, she is an influence to some of us artists; she makes a great subject to study and practice our drawing skills. With that being said, let’s jump into drawing her and honing our skills!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2444 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0000-268x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0000\" width=\"268\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nWhen working from a photo, I think it’s best that you have 2 of them. One would be for making lines on the photo and the 2<sup>nd</sup> one would be the photo that you will be working with after the outlines of the figure have been drawn. Start out by first drawing lines (with a ruler or a straight object, of course) onto the 1<sup>st</sup> picture. Usually I would draw lines that would be under the eyes, the nose, top and bottom of the mouth, and the chin. I would then draw vertical lines on both sides to where the sides of the face will be. I would then repeat this action on my sheet of paper where I would make my future drawing.It’s safe to say that you may want to measure out the space in between the lines so that you can get as close as you can on the eyes, nose, and mouth being near their exact proximity. In this stage, many artists will use different tools to achieve a perfect anatomy or proximity of the focused object such as grids, light boxes, projectors, or free hand.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2445 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0001-237x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0001\" width=\"237\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nIn this stage I’m placing the facial features in their designated areas. I’m making sure both the bottom of the eyes and nose are touching the line and the top and bottom of the mouth are touching the line. One of the rules I remembered is that when you draw the eyes, remember that they are one eye length apart and from the bottom of the nose to the bottom of the mouth, that is also one eye length.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2446 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0002-221x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0002\" width=\"221\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nIn this stage, I’m focusing on the placement of her hair and chin and making a logical placement of her shoulders.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2447 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0003-300x93.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0003\" width=\"300\" height=\"93\" />\r\n\r\nNow it’s time for the nitty gritty of things – time to start doing the real drawing. Here, as you can see, I started with the eyes first. I have always started with the eyes. I would recommend that you do that too. In my opinion, it feels more complete once you have both of them done. When doing the eye, you need to first draw in a small highlight/glare to illustrate the reflection of light. This can be achieved by drawing a small circle or square. You then want to use a dark pencil (6B or darker) to fill in the pupil. After that is done, you want to take a tortillion and add the color of the iris. At this point, you may want to outline the eye and the iris to differentiate it from the rest. Another action that is overlooked so often is greying the upper area of the eye; this can also be achieved with a tortillion. You must show that the eyelid casts a small shadow. The last two things that you have to do is add an eye lid crease and some eye lashes. The eye lid crease can be added with any pencil and then with a tortillion, smudge it some to show that the line was blending into the atmosphere instead of it looking like a hard line and standing out. I believe that’s what differentiates many artists. How well do your lines and colors blend in with a concept?\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2448 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0004-300x153.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0004\" width=\"300\" height=\"153\" />\r\n\r\nMoving along to the next body part, the first thing I do is redefine the parting of the lips. I do this like I did drawing the eye lid – I’ll draw exactly where the lips part and then smudge it with a tortillion. Once that’s complete, I work on the bottom lip by first drawing lines in an upward motion. I’ll try and fade the sweeping as I get close to the middle of the lip to illustrate a “lip glare/highlight.” Soon as I got it drawn, I’ll, you guessed it, use a tortillion again to smudge. With that same tortillion, I’ll smudge or add a darker tone to the upper lip. Depending on the angle and if the person is facing light, I may have to add a highlight to the upper lip.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2449 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0005-238x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0005\" width=\"238\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nAlright, time for my favorite part……HAIR! I absolutely love drawing hair. With that being said, let’s dive right into it! Okay so the first thing you want to do is “color” the hair completely with a light pencil. I used a 3H.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2450 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0006-238x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0006\" width=\"238\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nOnce that’s done, use tissue paper or a non-lotion Kleenex to smudge or blend.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2451 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0007-238x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0007\" width=\"238\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nYou want to take a dark pencil now and add in darker strands or highlights in SOME areas. Blend this with your tissue paper. You will want to leave some areas illustrated as highlights and light reflection.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2452 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0008-238x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0008\" width=\"238\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nOnce everything is blended, go back with either a dark pencil (6B or darker) or a mid-way pencil (H, F, HB) to add hair strands throughout the head of the figure. Do not blend or use a tortillion/tissue – you want to show some hair strands.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2453 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0009-238x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0009\" width=\"238\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nNow to the body part I don’t care to work on. It’s necessary but I’m never motivated to do it. Keep in mind that 2 noses are not the same. Even if it’s the same person, different lighting of the subject will have the nose casting or using different shadows. Now you understand why I don’t care too much for it. Anywho, the first thing I work on are the nostrils with a tortillion. I then smooth the nose edges and try to make it appear as if they are soft shadows instead of hard lines. I also try to bring some of the dark tone out toward the cheek area to show more blending that way.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2455 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0011-275x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0011\" width=\"275\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nHere I’m working on some shading and tone on the face as well as certain details on the face like the cleft under the nose. I’ve also add the color to her shirt. It looks 2D and boring right now, but maybe I can spice it up.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2456 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0012-240x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0012\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nOkay, here is the finish drawing. I smudged the black that was on her shirt and used a kneaded eraser to mimic the shimmer she had on her shirt. I also did some detail to her earrings. I also used a pencil eraser to add some small detail near the bottom of her shirt. Overall I think the skin tone could have been a lot darker, but I’ve always been precautious about darkening people in my drawings – fear of making a mistake that would be hard to get out. Oh well, none of us are perfect but we still aim for it.','Drawing Whitney Houston','','inherit','closed','closed','','2443-revision-v1','','','2015-12-26 23:54:54','2015-12-27 07:54:54','',2443,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/2443-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2480,2,'2015-12-28 14:00:57','2015-12-28 22:00:57','','DOUGLAS_LAIL_LO_RES','\"Douglas Lail ~ Self-Portrait\" by Douglas Lail','inherit','open','closed','','douglas_lail_lo_res','','','2015-12-28 14:01:31','2015-12-28 22:01:31','',1060,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/DOUGLAS_LAIL_LO_RES.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2481,2,'2015-12-28 14:01:45','2015-12-28 22:01:45','Welcome to our gallery of self-portrait drawings!

Consider the space that you are drawing in and the space the figure will take up. When you are drawing, try to approximate the way the woman is standing and where her body parts are.\r\n\r\nTo draw a woman, start with some basic shapes like circles and lines. Keep in mind that a woman has a round body, so use curved lines for shapes as you structure your sketch. Never draw one large circle for a part of the body like legs or the arms. Draw every part of the body as a separate part. Use several smaller circles to give a rough shape to your sketch. For example, legs would be drawn in 6 different shapes: hips, thigh, knee, lower leg, ankle, and foot.\r\n<h2>Proportions to Keep in Mind</h2>\r\nWoman  are about 7 circles tall. Create a circle to use and draw that shape one over top another so you have about 7 circles. This will be OK to start. You will be making adjustments as you sketch. The full size of the head  is slightly longer than a circle. Add about a half to get the full length. A woman is about two heads wide. Taking the full length of the head to the chin, turn the shape sideways  and create two shapes of that size next to one another at the same level. Her hips are about as wide as her rib cage, where her shoulder meets her torso. Draw the arm in several different circles: shoulders, upper arm, elbow, lower arm, and hand.  To draw the leg, break them up in different circles for the hips, upper leg, knee, lower leg, ankle, and feet.\r\n<h2>Body shape of a Woman</h2>\r\nWhile there are many different body shapes for woman, there is a general shape that can help you when drawing the woman’s body. Use a figure eight or hour glass type figure to give an estimated idea of the woman’s body. When drawing a model, notice the differences between her body and the standard female figure and make adjustments when needed. While using proportions and body shapes is a good way to learn how to draw a woman, try to keep your sketch similar to the model you are studying to create more classical drawings.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2493\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/1-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"1\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2494\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/2-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"2\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2495\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/3-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"3\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2496\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/4-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"4\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2497\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/5-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"5\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2498\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/6-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"6\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" />\r\n<h2>Tips for Drawing the Female Body</h2>\r\nFemale breasts can be difficult to draw. Use an \"X\" over the torso, starting from the top of the shoulder and down to the rib cage. The \"V\" shape that is created by the \"X\" will help you draw where the sternum and collarbone are. The bottom of the \"X\" should be where the middle section starts. If you cut the \"X\" in half, this will give you a line of symmetry from where the breast line should start. This is slightly different for each woman and you should adjust accordingly. Notice that the female breast is not quite a circle. The chest or pectoral muscle is rectangular and the rest of the breast is made of body fat; so, the overall shape will be basically a combined rectangle, teardrop, and a semi circle.\r\n\r\nAfter building the basic structure, you break those in two smaller shapes and then draw lightly, as you will be modifying your lines so you have a better understanding of how to draw a woman. The arm for example is about 6 shapes: the shoulder, the upper arm, the elbow, the lower arm, the fist, and the hand. Note that from the shoulder to the elbow and the elbow to the hand should be about an equal distance. Finish sketching a full basic figure before working on any details, checking your proportions as you create your drawing.  Keep in mind that depending on the view of the model, you may need to use measuring or figuring out your own proportions instead of standard proportions. If the body is turned, simple basic proportions are hard to apply.\r\n\r\nNext work on details like the face. Pencil in the face and clean up any extra marks. Also as you are working on the details, notice the lines that the body makes when you are adjusting them. Use guidelines for the face and for anything you need for symmetry. Now edit the rest of the body. The next step would be to edit any leftover lines that are not needed. Clean up any eraser marks and add shading to finish your drawing.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2504\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/12-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"12\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" /><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2505\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/13-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"13\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" /><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2506\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/14-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"14\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" /><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-2507\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/15-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"15\" width=\"496\" height=\"298\" />\r\n\r\nThe back of a woman is different from the front. You can break down the back in simple shapes; however, placement becomes more important because there is more smooth area on the back. Having a line in the right place will draw attention to the area.\r\n\r\nOne way to correct the difficulty of drawing the back side is to draw lightly and use shading instead of drawing. For shading technique, you draw a basic outline first. Instead of using lines to draw circles, find a #2 pencil. The shape of the pencil will help with shading, while a mechanical pencil can be harder to shade with. Shade large shapes that imitate the form of the body. Turning the pencil on its side instead of straight over on its head will help do this.\r\n\r\nI’ll note that sometimes I sharpen a pencil with a knife. That way, you have a longer point. Try to imagine using as much of the graphite as possible. If you are comfortable with charcoal, this will help create the effect even more. For charcoal, turn the square charcoal or charcoal pencil on its side or on an angle.\r\n\r\nOnce you have covered all dark area, use your eraser to draw. Instead of using the pencil, the eraser will act as the point of the pencil and help you create a clean line. This will also give it a soft effect. If you plan on going dark and detailed, make your marks as precise as possible because a human back can be more difficult to judge when it comes to placement of shapes and body parts.\r\n\r\nAfter drawing with the eraser, you will go back over dark areas with the charcoal for highlights and contrast and detail. Repeat this process multiple types until you get the effect you want.\r\n\r\nBe careful pressing hard with pencil or charcoal when using this technique. Try pressing as softly as possible because it will be difficult to erase marks that are pressed into the paper. For an even better look, find kneaded or other art erasers.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2499\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/7-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"7\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2500\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/8-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"8\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2501\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/9-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"9\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2502\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/10-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"10\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2503\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/11-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"11\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nYou can draw a woman in many ways, these are just some ideas for you to try.

Consider the space that you are drawing in and the space the figure will take up. When you are drawing try to approximate the way the woman is standing and where her body parts are.\r\nTo draw a woman start with some basic shapes like circles and lines.\r\nKeep in mind that woman has a round body so use curve lines for shape as you structure your sketch. Never draw one large circle for a part of the body like legs or the arms. Draw every part of the body as a separate part use several smaller circles to give a rough shape to your sketch. For example legs would be draw 6 different shapes; hips, thy, knee, lower leg, angel and foot.\r\nProportions to keep in mind:\r\nWoman  are about 7 circles tall: Create a circle to use and draw that shape one over top another so you have about 7 circles this will be ok to start,  you will be making adjustment’s as you sketch. The full size of the head  is slightly longer then a circle add about a halve to get the full length.  A woman is about two heads wide , taking the full length of the head to the chin turn the shape sideways  and create two shapes of that size next to one another at the same level. Her hips are about as wide s her rib cage, where her shoulder meets her torso. Draw the arm in several different circles, shoulders, upper arm, elbow, lower arm and hand.  To draw the leg break them up in different circles for the hips, upper leg, knee, lower leg, ankle and feet.\r\nBody shape of a woman:\r\nWhile there are many different body shapes for woman. There is a general shape that can help you when drawing the woman’s body. Use a figure eight or hour glasses type figure to give a estimated idea of the woman’s body. When drawing a model notice the differences between her body and the standard female figure and make adjustment when needed. While using proportions and body shapes is a good way to learn how to draw a woman, try to keep your sketch similar to the model you are studying to create more classical drawings.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2493\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/1-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"1\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2494\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/2-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"2\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2495\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/3-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"3\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2496\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/4-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"4\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2497\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/5-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"5\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2498\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/6-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"6\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nTips for drawing the female body\r\nFemale breast can be difficult to draw.\r\nUse a \"X\" over the torso, starting from the top of the shoulder and down to the rib cage. The \"V\" shape that is created by the \"X\" will help you draw where the sternum and collar bone are.  The bottom of the \"X\" should be where the middle section starts. If you cut the “X“ in halve this will give you a line of symmetry fro where the breast line should start, this is slightly different for each woman and you should adjust accordingly. Notice that the female breast is not quite a circle. The chest or pectoral muscle is rectangular the rest of the breast is made of body fat so; The overall shape will be basically a combined rectangle, tear drop and a semi circle.\r\nAfter building the basic structure.\r\nyou break those in two smaller shapes. and Then draw lightly as you will be modifying your lines so you have better understanding in how to draw a woman. The arm for example is about 6 shapes, the shoulder the upper arm, the elbow, the lower arm the first and the hand. Note that From the shoulder to the elbow , and the elbow to the hand  should be about equal distant. Finish sketching a full basic figure before working on any details checking your proportions as you create your drawing.  Keep in mind depending on the view of the model you may need to use measuring or figuring out your own proportions instead of standard proportions. If the body is turned simple basic proportions are hard to apply.\r\nNext work on details like the face .\r\nPencil in the face and clean up any extra marks, also as you are working on the details notice that the lines that the body makes when you are adjusting them. Use guidelines for the face and for anything I need for symmetry now edit the rest of the body. The next step would be to edit any leftover lines that are not needed clean up any eraser marks and add shading to finish your drawing.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2504\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/12-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"12\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" /><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2505\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/13-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"13\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" /><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2506\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/14-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"14\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" /><img class=\"alignnone  wp-image-2507\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/15-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"15\" width=\"496\" height=\"298\" />\r\n\r\nThe back of a woman is different from the front. You can break down the back in simple shapes, however, placement becomes more important because there is more smooth area on the back. Having a line in the right place will draw attention to the area.\r\n\r\nOne way to correct the difficulty of drawing the back side is to draw lightly and use shading instead drawing. For shading technique, you draw a basic outline first. Instead of using line to draw circles, find a #2 pencil. The shape of the pencil will help with shading, while a mechanical pencil can be hard to shade with. Shade large shapes that imitate the form of the body, turning the pencil on its side instead of straight over on its head will help do this.\r\n\r\nI’ll note that sometimes I sharpen a pencil with a knife. That way, you have a longer point. Try to imagine using as much of the graphite as possible. If you are comfortable with charcoal, this will help create the effect even more. For charcoal, turn the square charcoal or charcoal pencil on its side, or on an angle.\r\n\r\nOnce you have covered all dark area, use your eraser to draw. Instead of using the pencil, the eraser will act as the point of the pencil and help you create a clean line. This will also give it a soft effect. If you plan on going dark and detailed, make your marks as precise as possible because a human back can be more difficult to judge when it comes to placement of shapes and body parts.\r\n\r\nAfter drawing with the eraser, you will go back over dark areas with the charcoal for highlights and contrast and detail. Repeat this process multiple types until you get the effect you want.\r\n\r\nBe careful pressing hard with pencil or charcoal using this technique. Try pressing softly as possible because it will be difficult to erase marks that are pressed into the paper. For an even better look, find kneaded or other art erasers.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2499\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/7-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"7\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2500\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/8-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"8\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2501\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/9-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"9\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2502\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/10-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"10\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2503\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/11-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"11\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nYou can draw a woman in many ways, these are just some ideas for you to try.

INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (2509,8,'2016-02-03 02:19:25','2016-02-03 10:19:25','<h2>Maternity Drawing</h2>\r\nConsider drawing a woman that is pregnant. There are many different body shapes between a woman who is pregnant and one who is not.\r\n\r\nWhile there are many months of different changes a woman’s body goes through, there are some important changes to notice.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2511 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/2-2-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"2 (2)\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nWomen’s breasts will increase in size when they are pregnant. They also have a slightly different shape. For example, a woman\'s breasts will tend to be more round or full-looking.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2512 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/3-1-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"3\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" />                                   <img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2513 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/4-1-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"4\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nA woman’s hips also tend to get more wide as her body gets ready to deliver, along with experiencing weight gain throughout her whole body during pregnancy.\r\n\r\nMost important is the baby bump or where the woman carries the child. Her belly will have a large increase of size and a dramatic shape change.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2514\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/5-1-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"5\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" />                                <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2515\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/6-1-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"6\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nTo draw the pregnant belly, I start with what looks like a normal belly and then create a large circle, appreciating the shape that I see on the woman. Use the tear drop shape for this part of her body as her belly is more round at the bottom and straightens out toward her rib cage. A pregnant belly will be quite round near the side of the woman as well. You can indicate this with a hint of shading or even a thin line that is round.\r\n\r\nKeep in mind there are 9 months of pregnancy, so there are many different ways to draw a pregnant woman. Also, each woman carries a child differently and each child is different. These ideas will only give you a basic understanding of the figure of a pregnant woman.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-2516 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/7-1-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"7\" width=\"290\" height=\"483\" />\r\n<h2>Breastfeeding</h2>\r\nSketch a basic outline sketch for both people. Consider actually drawing over the top of other body parts as if they were see-through.\r\n\r\nComplete a full sketch of both people. Then once you have done this, start erasing the unnecessary lines.\r\n\r\nDrawing people sitting together behind one another or interacting in many ways can be difficult, as their bodies where they touch will hide, distort, and change how the body looks.\r\n\r\nIn this drawing, pay attention to the hand as the baby holds her mother\'s breast. The breast responds to the pressure the figure is creating, making indents.\r\n\r\nTo draw the baby\'s face, draw the whole face and then draw the shape of the breast hiding part of the mouth of the baby.\r\n\r\nSmall details like the folds in the skin or pressure points of contact will create a more realistic drawing.\r\n\r\nUnderstanding body type will help you with this. In general, women have softer bodies, so a woman’s body will respond to touch better than a male body.\r\n<h2></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2517\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/773_10206255896210951_5597311057490364261_n-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"773_10206255896210951_5597311057490364261_n\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2518\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/535049_10206255896370955_8269886950683640004_n-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"535049_10206255896370955_8269886950683640004_n\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" /> <img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2520 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/10277001_10206255895890943_5238965720297618814_n-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"10277001_10206255895890943_5238965720297618814_n\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" />\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2519 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/734829_10206255895730939_302612655374693973_n-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"734829_10206255895730939_302612655374693973_n\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" />\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-2521 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/final-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"final\" width=\"657\" height=\"394\" />\r\n<h2>Expression</h2>\r\nConsider the emotions in the drawing of a woman.

gets ready to deliver, along with experiencing weight gain throughout her whole body during pregnancy.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nMost important is the baby bump or where the woman carries the child, her belly will have a large increase of size and a dramatic shape change.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2514\"

like a normal belly and then create a large circle appreciating the shape that I see on the woman, you use he tier drop shape for this part of her body as her belly is more round at the bottom and straightens out toward her rib cage. I pregnant belly will be quite round near the side of the woman as well you can indicate this with a hint of shading or even a thin line that is round.\r\nKeep in mind there are over 9 month of pregnancy so there are many different ways to draw a pregnant woman also each woman carries a child differently and each child is different. These ideas will only give you a basic understanding on the body figure of a pregnant woman.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-2516\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/7-1-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"7\" width=\"290\" height=\"483\" />\r\n\r\nBreastfeeding\r\n\r\nOverlapping:\r\n\r\nSketch a basic outline sketch for both people consider actually drawing over top of other body parts as if they where see through\r\n\r\nComplete a full sketch of both people , then once you done this start erasing the unnecessary line.\r\n\r\nDrawing people sitting together behind one another or interacting in any ways can be difficulty as there bodies where they touch will hide distort and change how the body looks.\r\n\r\nIn this drawing pay attention to the hand as the baby hold her mothers breast the breast responds the pressure the figure are creating making indents.\r\n\r\nTo draw the baby face draw the whole face and then draw the shape of the breast hiding part of the mouth of the baby.\r\n\r\nSmall details like the folds in the skin or pressure points of contact will create a more realistic drawing.\r\nUnderstanding body type will help you with this in general woman have ore soft bodies so a woman’s body will respond to touch better then a male body.\r\n\r\nExpression, Consider the emotions in the drawing for woman, woman go though allot of emotional changes becoming a mother, I think nothing is more beautiful they a woman that loves her body while pregnant or holding a baby so blissful or happiness is a great expression for drawing mother and child.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2517\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/773_10206255896210951_5597311057490364261_n-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"773_10206255896210951_5597311057490364261_n\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2518\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/535049_10206255896370955_8269886950683640004_n-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"535049_10206255896370955_8269886950683640004_n\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2520\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/10277001_10206255895890943_5238965720297618814_n-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"10277001_10206255895890943_5238965720297618814_n\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" />\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2519\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/734829_10206255895730939_302612655374693973_n-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"734829_10206255895730939_302612655374693973_n\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" />\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-2521\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/final-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"final\" width=\"657\" height=\"394\" />\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThere are many things to consider when drawing woman so keep a open mind and explore the possibilities.','How to draw others and babies','','inherit','closed','closed','','2509-revision-v1','','','2015-12-30 02:19:25','2015-12-30 10:19:25','',2509,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/2509-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2525,8,'2016-01-23 02:05:48','2016-01-23 10:05:48','The purpose of this article is to list 10 different approaches to drawing children. The first six approaches will consider the age. The last four are more stylistic approaches.\r\n<h2>Consider the Age of the Children</h2>\r\nFirst consider the age and development of the child before you begin. Refer to one of the age groups that I list below for how to draw children. There are instructions for <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/a-look-at-child-proportions-from-toddler-to-teen/\">different age groups</a>.\r\n<h3>1. Infants</h3>\r\nNotice the proportions of an infant. The majority of the body is the head and the rest of the body is almost the same size. There is little to no difference between boys and girls.\r\n\r\nDrawing infants or babies is quite simple. You can break it down in a couple of steps.\r\n\r\n<strong>Head:</strong> To create the head, just create one circle for the face and then another circle for the head.\r\n\r\n<strong>Body:</strong> The body should be about an equal size with the head. Figure out how many heads you need for the body.\r\n\r\n<strong>Details:</strong> Draw softly for details like eyebrows, hair, and face features. Draw shapes for the cheeks, eyes, and the outline of the head.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-01-infant.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2858\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2858\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-01-infant.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw children 01 infant\" width=\"360\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-02-infant.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2852\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2852\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-02-infant.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw children 02 infant\" width=\"360\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-03-infant.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2853\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2853\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-03-infant.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw children 03 infant\" width=\"360\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-04-infant.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2849\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2849\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-04-infant.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw children 04 infant\" width=\"386\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-05-infant.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2854\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2854\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-05-infant.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw children 05 infant\" width=\"360\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-06-infant.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2850\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2850\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-06-infant.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw children 06 infant\" width=\"480\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n<h3>2. Toddlers</h3>\r\nThere is only a slight difference between infants and toddlers. The largest difference is how big the child is. Depending on the age of the toddler, he or she will still have infant proportions. The overall body shape of a boy and a girl is still very similar.\r\n\r\nNote that toddlers should have a longer body than an infant. So you add a half or a full head, depending on age.\r\n<h3>3. Early Childhood / Kindergarteners</h3>\r\nThere are significant changes at this age. It is possible for children at this age to be approximately one-half the size of an adult. The general body shape is still similar to that of a toddler, but you will start to see a difference.\r\n\r\n<strong>Boys:</strong> It\'s the same idea as drawing a toddler, but taller and older.\r\n\r\n<strong>Girls:</strong> The body shape starts to change. You also begin to notice a difference between girls and boys. Be sure to draw as carefully as possible, or your child will look older than she is.\r\n<h3>4. Elementary School Years</h3>\r\nGirls partially start developing early. Notice also other important changes as children get older.\r\n\r\n<strong>Boys:</strong> Between 3rd grade - 5th grade, boys will catch up with girls and start surpassing them in height. They will also have overall larger bodies.\r\n\r\n<strong>Girls:</strong> Girls will go through a change of body shape again, typically 2 or 3 years before boys.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-07-boy.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2855\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2855\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-07-boy.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw children 07 boy\" width=\"360\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-08-boy.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2859\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2859\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-08-boy.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw children 08 boy\" width=\"360\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-09-boy.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2860\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2860\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-09-boy.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw children 09 boy\" width=\"360\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-10-boy.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2856\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2856\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-10-boy.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw children 10 boy\" width=\"360\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-11-boy.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2857\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2857\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-11-boy.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw children 11 boy\" width=\"360\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-12-boy.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2851\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2851\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-12-boy.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw children 12 boy\" width=\"360\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n<h3>5. Middle School / Preteen</h3>\r\nProportions are about the same as elementary school kids, but girls are a lot more mature and will start looking like teenagers. There is a wide range so you may need to refer to a different body shape/age group, depending on the child.\r\n\r\n<strong>Boys:</strong> At this age, boys should be about the same size as girls or bigger. However, for the most part, the overall body shape is still the same.\r\n\r\n<strong>Girls:</strong> At this age girls will change quite dramatically as they start blossoming into young ladies.\r\n<h3>6. Teenager/ Young Adult</h3>\r\nThere are key differences for both boys and girls from looking like a teenager to looking like an adult. Both boys and girl still have a young looking appearance in the face. You can do this by creating a slight exaggeration of the eyes, drawing a smoother face, and using softer details, like along the neckline. As you work with a subject who is older, details like the neck are more defined.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-teen.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2862\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2862\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-teen.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw children teen\" width=\"800\" height=\"339\" /></a>\r\n<h2>Consider the Style in Which You Want to Draw the Children</h2>\r\n<h3>7. Free Style Drawing or Sketching</h3>\r\nWhen you don’t know how old someone is, look at a reference and draw what you see. Don’t get married to proportions, because certain things give people characteristics and drawing a person “how they are supposed to look\" will <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/see-how-to-sketch-a-person-in-4-easy-steps/\">give a good sketch</a> of a child but maybe not the person you are drawing.\r\n\r\nUnderstanding that each person\'s physical appearance is different will help you draw someone\'s “character” or personality instead of just a person. Children tend to have certain mannerisms (for example, drawing a child pose like sitting crisscross or playing).\r\n<h3>8. Cartoonlike</h3>\r\nConsider drawing personality traits like being silly, funny, or at play. This will create a more cartoonlike or childlike image. Create slight exaggerations of the body to transform your child into a cartoon which will capture a childlike image.\r\n\r\n<strong>Head:</strong> The head is largely disproportionate compared to the body for a good amount of your life.\r\n\r\n<strong>Eyes:</strong> A slight exaggeration of how big the eyes are will both give the child a more childish look and also a cartoonlike appearance.\r\n\r\n<strong>Body:</strong> Draw the child\'s body like an adult\'s body but a lot smaller. Just think \"make everything smaller.\" Also, knowing the key differences at certain ages will help capture the correct age group.\r\n<h3>9. Children with Family or Environment</h3>\r\nOne of the best ways to draw a child is to draw the child next to someone else. Keep in mind: the smaller the child, the younger they will appear.\r\n<h3>10. Appearance</h3>\r\nConsider clothing, face expressions, being uninventive, or any childlike mannerism you can think of. Drawing a character of that person or capturing that person\'s personality will help not only make your drawing like that person, but will create a sense of realism.','How to Draw Children: 10 Different Approaches','','publish','open','open','','how-to-draw-children-10-different-approaches','','','2016-01-23 13:17:03','2016-01-23 21:17:03','',0,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/?p=2525',0,'post','',0),(2860,2,'2016-01-23 11:44:40','2016-01-23 19:44:40','','how to draw children 09 boy','','inherit','open','closed','','how-to-draw-children-09-boy','','','2016-01-23 11:44:40','2016-01-23 19:44:40','',2525,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-09-boy.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2544,8,'2015-12-30 05:11:40','2015-12-30 13:11:40','First consider the age and development of the child before you begin.

Don’t get married to proportions because certain thing give people characteristic and drawing a person “ how they are supposed to look “ will give a good sketch of a child but maybe not the person you are drawing.\r\nUnderstanding each persons physical appearance is different will help you draw some ones “character” or personality instead of just a person. Children tend to have certain mannerisms for example drawing a child pose thing like sitting crisscross, or playing.\r\n\r\n8. Cartoon like:\r\nconsider drawing personality like being silly, funny, or at play, this will create a more cartoon like or child like image. Create slight exaggerations of the body to transform your child in too a cartoon which will capture a child like image.\r\n\r\nPhysical features\r\nHead : is largely disproportionate compared to the body for a good amount of your life.\r\nEyes : a slight exaggeration of how big the eyes are will both give the child a more childish look and also cartoon like appearance.\r\n\r\nBody: like an adults body but allot smaller, just think make every thing smaller, also knowing the key difference at certain ages will help capture the correct age group.\r\n\r\n9. Children with Family or environment: One of the best ways to draw a child is to draw them next to some one else, keep in mind the smaller the child the younger they will appear.\r\n\r\n10. Appearance: Consider clothing, face exprensitions, being uninventive or any child like mannerism you can think of, drawing a character of that person, or capering that person personality will help not only make your drawing like that person but will create a sense of realism.','How to Draw Children: 10 Different Approaches','','inherit','closed','closed','','2525-revision-v1','','','2015-12-30 05:11:40','2015-12-30 13:11:40','',2525,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/2525-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2555,15,'2015-12-30 19:41:05','2015-12-31 03:41:05','','Scan0006','','inherit','open','closed','','scan0006-2','','','2015-12-30 19:41:05','2015-12-31 03:41:05','',2549,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0006-1.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2556,15,'2015-12-30 19:41:07','2015-12-31 03:41:07','','Scan0007','','inherit','open','closed','','scan0007-2','','','2015-12-30 19:41:07','2015-12-31 03:41:07','',2549,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0007-1.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2557,15,'2015-12-30 19:41:10','2015-12-31 03:41:10','','Scan0008','','inherit','open','closed','','scan0008-2','','','2015-12-30 19:41:10','2015-12-31 03:41:10','',2549,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0008-1.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2561,2,'2015-12-30 20:13:28','2015-12-31 04:13:28','','/face-drawing-checklist-and-8-steps','','publish','closed','closed','','2561','','','2015-12-30 20:13:28','2015-12-31 04:13:28','',0,'',0,'leadpages_post','',0),(2562,15,'2015-12-30 20:13:16','2015-12-31 04:13:16','Well kiddies, it’s that time again. Time to do some more art! This time we’re going to look at drawing a man. The art world has put a lot of attention on female models and heroines in my opinion. I don’t think men get the same attention – could be that the majority of artists are men and they are more prone to draw women than men and who can blame them? I, myself, LOVE drawing/painting women but I still make time to do or add a man in a painting. It may take me more time to do a guy in a painting because of the lack of motivation, but I have to diversify. With that being said, let’s hop on it!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2550 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0001-3-300x212.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0001\" width=\"300\" height=\"212\" />\r\n\r\nOk, so the first thing we’re doing here is doing the contour outline. Not much to say here except please keep in mind that if you’re going to draw men, we all have a much “square” jaw then women; women and their bodies tend to have “round” figures and men have square, chisel figures. It’s not too obvious but it’s something to keep in mind when drawing the different sexes. The shapes can be mostly seen in the bodies and face (again they’re very subtle; nothing big).\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2551 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0002-3.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0002\" width=\"237\" height=\"92\" />\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nOK so the first facial body part I’m going to tackle is the eyes. I ALWAYS start with the eyes with any model, drawing or painting. There’s something magical when doing the eyes. When I’m usually done with the eyes, it sets the mood for the drawing/painting. They say that the eyes are the windows to the soul, I say, the eyes are the beginning of a drawing/painting. When working on the eyes, it’s best to add some darker line to the outside of the eyes just to establish the sketch. You then want to draw in the iris. You also want to draw in the pupil some but keep in mind we have to add a little feature to the eye before we start coloring it in. Draw in a circle or a square where the pupil and iris meet. This will be your eye highlight. Basically make sure that it’s a little bit in both the iris and pupil. You then color in the iris using a 6B or darker pencil and then use a tortillion to color in the iris.\r\n\r\nWhen this is done, please do not forget to use the tortillion to add some shade to the upper regions of the eyeball to illustrate some shading coming from the upper eyelid. You can then pencil in the eyelid crease and eyebrows at this point. Sometimes I do or I wait until I start directly on the face itself; same thing goes with the shading on the eyeball itself.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2552 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0003-3.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0003\" width=\"237\" height=\"92\" />\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWorking on the mouth is fairly simple. Just like the eye, darken the outline just a little bit and then start working on the lips. When working on men’s lips, I have a different approach. When it’s a woman I’m working on, I tend to work directly on her lower lip to illustrate fullness and color. With men it’s different; I usually don’t work directly on their lip. Instead I work on the little bit of shadow that the lower lip portrays followed by some line for the lower lip.\r\n\r\nThe upper lip is colorized fully. Again I use a tortillion to color in some graphite. You can use a pencil as well and I’m thinking you may need to use 2B to 3H pencil; the upper lip is always portrayed darker than the lower lip. If the portrait happens to illustrate some teeth, make sure you use broken, faded lines to show the teeth and add just a little bit of shade to them. Near the corners of the mouth, the color needs to fade some into a darker contrast but not that much. Also, any showing of the inside of the mouth should be dark.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2553 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0004-3-300x232.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0004\" width=\"300\" height=\"232\" />\r\n\r\nFun part! That’s right people, its hair time! The first part of doing the hair is color it in using a 3H pencil. You then take a tissue or non-lotion tissue and blend it into the paper keeping in mind to stay within the lines.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2554 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0005-2-296x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0005\" width=\"296\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nThe next part is to add darker tone to the hair. Here you just use a darker pencil (6B or darker) to add dark tone features, There’s no need to color it, we will blend the dark tone into the hair soon enough, just focus on putting dark tone in areas where the hair illustrates it.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2555 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0006-1-296x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0006\" width=\"296\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nWhen the dark tone is properly place in the spots that are acceptable, blend it. Please note when blending hair, you need to blend as if you are almost drawing. You need to blend in the direction of the strokes to make the portrait look more realistic and believable. I would say using a tortillion is the best tool for this particular job. It’s more accurate and more controllable.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2556 alignleft\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0007-1-296x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0007\" width=\"296\" height=\"300\" /><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2557 alignright\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0008-1-296x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0008\" width=\"296\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nI then work on the nose followed by the face. I first smudge the nose lines where the original sketch line was followed with some smudging directly on the nose area (left). I then add pencil strokes around the face area and then go back and smudge with a tissue (right).\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2558 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0009-1-300x205.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0009\" width=\"300\" height=\"205\" />\r\n\r\nI continue this process for the whole body…..\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2559 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0010-1-300x205.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0010\" width=\"300\" height=\"205\" />\r\n\r\nThe last thing I work on is the ax. I didn’t put in a lot of effort on this because this lesson focuses on how to draw the guy, not the axe. Now that the drawing is done, I hope everyone could get something out of this.

One would be for making lines on the photo and the 2<sup>nd</sup> one would be the photo that you will be working with after the outlines of the figure have been drawn. Start out by first drawing lines (with a ruler or a straight object, of course) onto the 1<sup>st</sup> picture. Usually I would draw lines that would be under the eyes, the nose, top and bottom of the mouth, and the chin. I would then draw vertical lines on both sides to where the sides of the face will be. I would then repeat this action on my sheet of paper where I would make my future drawing.It’s safe to say that you may want to measure out the space in between the lines so that you can get as close as you can on the eyes, nose, and mouth being near their exact proximity. In this stage, many artists will use different tools to achieve a perfect anatomy or proximity of the focused object such as grids, light boxes, projectors, or free hand.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2445 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0001-237x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0001\" width=\"237\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nIn this stage I’m placing the facial features in their designated areas. I’m making sure both the bottom of the eyes and nose are touching the line and the top and bottom of the mouth are touching the line. One of the rules I remembered is that when you draw the eyes, remember that they are one eye length apart and from the bottom of the nose to the bottom of the mouth, that is also one eye length.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2446 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0002-221x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0002\" width=\"221\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nIn this stage, I’m focusing on the placement of her hair and chin and making a logical placement of her shoulders.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2447 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0003-300x93.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0003\" width=\"300\" height=\"93\" />\r\n\r\nNow it’s time for the nitty gritty of things – time to start doing the real drawing. Here, as you can see, I started with the eyes first. I have always started with the eyes. I would recommend that you do that too. In my opinion, it feels more complete once you have both of them done. When doing the eye, you need to first draw in a small highlight/glare to illustrate the reflection of light. This can be achieved by drawing a small circle or square. You then want to use a dark pencil (6B or darker) to fill in the pupil. After that is done, you want to take a tortillion and add the color of the iris. At this point, you may want to outline the eye and the iris to differentiate it from the rest. Another action that is overlooked so often is greying the upper area of the eye; this can also be achieved with a tortillion. You must show that the eyelid casts a small shadow. The last two things that you have to do is add an eye lid crease and some eye lashes. The eye lid crease can be added with any pencil and then with a tortillion, smudge it some to show that the line was blending into the atmosphere instead of it looking like a hard line and standing out. I believe that’s what differentiates many artists. How well do your lines and colors blend in with a concept?\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2448 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0004-300x153.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0004\" width=\"300\" height=\"153\" />\r\n\r\nMoving along to the next body part, the first thing I do is redefine the parting of the lips. I do this like I did drawing the eye lid – I’ll draw exactly where the lips part and then smudge it with a tortillion. Once that’s complete, I work on the bottom lip by first drawing lines in an upward motion. I’ll try and fade the sweeping as I get close to the middle of the lip to illustrate a “lip glare/highlight.” Soon as I got it drawn, I’ll, you guessed it, use a tortillion again to smudge. With that same tortillion, I’ll smudge or add a darker tone to the upper lip. Depending on the angle and if the person is facing light, I may have to add a highlight to the upper lip.\r\n<h2>Draw the Hair</h2>\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2449 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0005-238x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0005\" width=\"238\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nAlright, time for my favorite part……HAIR! I absolutely love drawing hair. With that being said, let’s dive right into it! Okay so the first thing you want to do is “color” the hair completely with a light pencil. I used a 3H.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2450 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0006-238x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0006\" width=\"238\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nOnce that’s done, use tissue paper or a non-lotion Kleenex to smudge or blend.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2451 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0007-238x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0007\" width=\"238\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nYou want to take a dark pencil now and add in darker strands or highlights in SOME areas. Blend this with your tissue paper. You will want to leave some areas illustrated as highlights and light reflection.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2452 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0008-238x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0008\" width=\"238\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nOnce everything is blended, go back with either a dark pencil (6B or darker) or a mid-way pencil (H, F, HB) to add hair strands throughout the head of the figure. Do not blend or use a tortillion/tissue – you want to show some hair strands.\r\n<h2>Draw the Clothing</h2>\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2453 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0009-238x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0009\" width=\"238\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nNow to the body part I don’t care to work on. It’s necessary but I’m never motivated to do it. Keep in mind that 2 noses are not the same. Even if it’s the same person, different lighting of the subject will have the nose casting or using different shadows. Now you understand why I don’t care too much for it. Anywho, the first thing I work on are the nostrils with a tortillion. I then smooth the nose edges and try to make it appear as if they are soft shadows instead of hard lines.

17:44:36','Whitney Houston is still considered an icon even to this day. Despite her problems with drugs, who she married, or how she died, she is and will always be a great influence to future generations to come. As you can see, she is an influence to some of us artists. She makes a great subject to study and practice our drawing skills. You will see how to draw Whitney Houston in this tutorial. With that being said, let’s jump into drawing her and honing our skills!\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_2472\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"533\"]<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/whitney-houston-reference.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2472\"><img class=\"wp-image-2472 size-full\" title=\" © Carrienelson1 | Dreamstime.com\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/whitney-houston-reference.jpg\" alt=\" © Carrienelson1 | Dreamstime.com\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" /></a> <center><b> © <a href=\"http://www.dreamstime.com/carrienelson1_info\">Carrienelson1</a> | <a href=\"http://www.dreamstime.com/\">Dreamstime.com</a></b></center>[/caption]\r\n<h2></h2>\r\n<h2>Draw the Facial Features</h2>\r\nWhen working from a photo, I think it’s best that you have 2 of them. One would be for making lines on the photo and the 2<sup>nd</sup> one would be the photo that you will be working with after the outlines of the figure have been drawn. Start out by first drawing lines (with a ruler or a straight object, of course) onto the 1<sup>st</sup> picture. Usually I would draw lines that would be under the eyes, the nose, top and bottom of the mouth, and the chin. I would then draw vertical lines on both sides to where the sides of the face will be.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/see-how-to-draw-whitney-houston-gridlines-closeup.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2580\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2580\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/see-how-to-draw-whitney-houston-gridlines-closeup.jpg\" alt=\"see how to draw whitney houston gridlines closeup\" width=\"491\" height=\"526\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nI would then repeat this action on my sheet of paper where I would make my future drawing. It’s safe to say that you may want to measure out the space in between the lines so that you can get as close as you can on the eyes, nose, and mouth being near their exact proximity. In this stage, many artists will use different tools to achieve a perfect anatomy or proximity of the focused object such as <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/grid-drawing-for-perfect-faces-and-forms/\">grids</a>, <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/more/light-box/\">light boxes</a>, projectors, or free hand.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/00-how-to-draw-whitney-houston-guidelines.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2576\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2576\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/00-how-to-draw-whitney-houston-guidelines-268x300.jpg\" alt=\"00 how to draw whitney houston guidelines\" width=\"268\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nIn this stage I’m placing the facial features in their designated areas. I’m making sure both the bottom of the eyes and nose are touching the line and the top and bottom of the mouth are touching the line. One of the rules to remember is that when you draw the eyes, remember that they are one eye-length apart and from the bottom of the nose to the bottom of the mouth, that is also one eye-length.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/01-how-to-draw-whitney-houston-features.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2578\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2578\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/01-how-to-draw-whitney-houston-features.jpg\" alt=\"01 how to draw whitney houston features\" width=\"633\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nIn this stage, I’m focusing on the placement of her hair and chin and making a logical placement of her shoulders.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/02-how-to-draw-whitney-houston-outline.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2575\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2575\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/02-how-to-draw-whitney-houston-outline.jpg\" alt=\"02 how to draw whitney houston outline\" width=\"589\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow it’s time for the nitty gritty of things – time to start doing the real drawing. Here, as you can see, I started with the eyes first. I have always started with the eyes. I would recommend that you do that too. In my opinion, it feels more complete once you have both of them done.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/03-how-to-draw-whitney-houston-eye.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2577\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2577\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/03-how-to-draw-whitney-houston-eye.jpg\" alt=\"03 how to draw whitney houston eye\" width=\"800\" height=\"247\" /></a>\r\n\r\nWhen doing the eye, you need to first draw in a small highlight/glare to illustrate the reflection of light. This can be achieved by drawing a small circle or square. You then want to use a dark pencil (6B or darker) to fill in the pupil.\r\n\r\nAfter that is done, you want to take a <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/more/tortillions/\">tortillion</a> and add the color of the iris. At this point, you may want to outline the eye and the iris to differentiate it from the rest.\r\n\r\nAnother action that is overlooked so often is greying the upper area of the eye. This can also be achieved with a tortillion. You must show that the eyelid casts a small shadow.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/03a-how-to-draw-whitney-houston-eye.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2581\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2581\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/03a-how-to-draw-whitney-houston-eye.jpg\" alt=\"03a how to draw whitney houston eye\" width=\"312\" height=\"241\" /></a>\r\n\r\nThe last two things that you have to do is add an eyelid crease and some eyelashes. The eyelid crease can be added with any pencil and then with a tortillion. Smudge it some to show that the line is blended into its surroundings instead of it looking like a hard line and standing out. I believe that’s what differentiates many artists. How well do your lines and colors blend in with a concept?\r\n\r\nMoving along to the next body part, the first thing I do is redefine the parting of the lips. I do this like I did drawing the eyelid – I’ll draw exactly where the lips part and then smudge it with a tortillion.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/04-how-to-draw-whitney-houston-lips.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2579\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2579 size-full\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/04-how-to-draw-whitney-houston-lips.jpg\" alt=\"04 how to draw whitney houston lips\" width=\"393\" height=\"201\" /></a>\r\n\r\nOnce that’s complete, I work on the bottom lip by first drawing lines in an upward motion. I’ll try and fade the sweeping as I get close to the middle of the lip to illustrate a “lip glare/highlight.” Soon as I got it drawn, I’ll, you guessed it, use a tortillion again to smudge. With that same tortillion, I’ll smudge or add a darker tone to the upper lip. Depending on the angle and if the person is facing light, I may have to add a highlight to the upper lip.\r\n<h2>Draw the Hair</h2>\r\nAlright, time for my favorite part……HAIR! I absolutely love drawing hair. With that being said, let’s dive right into it! Okay so the first thing you want to do is “color” the hair completely with a light pencil. I used a 3H.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/05-how-to-draw-whitney-houston-hair-step-1.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2573\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2573 size-full\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/05-how-to-draw-whitney-houston-hair-step-1.jpg\" alt=\"05 how to draw whitney houston hair step 1\" width=\"634\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nOnce that’s done, use tissue paper or a non-lotion Kleenex to smudge or blend.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/06-how-to-draw-whitney-houston-hair-step-2.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2574\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2574\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/06-how-to-draw-whitney-houston-hair-step-2.jpg\" alt=\"06 how to draw whitney houston hair step 2\" width=\"634\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nYou want to take a dark pencil now and add in darker strands or highlights in SOME areas. Blend this with your tissue paper. You will want to leave some areas illustrated as highlights and light reflection.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/07-how-to-draw-whitney-houston-hair-step-3.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2572\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2572\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/07-how-to-draw-whitney-houston-hair-step-3.jpg\" alt=\"07 how to draw whitney houston hair step 3\" width=\"634\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nOnce everything is blended, go back with either a dark pencil (6B or darker) or a mid-way pencil (H, F, HB) to add hair strands throughout the head of the figure. Do not blend or use a tortillion/tissue – you want to show some hair strands.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/08-how-to-draw-whitney-houston-hair-step-4.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2570\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2570\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/08-how-to-draw-whitney-houston-hair-step-4.jpg\" alt=\"08 how to draw whitney houston hair step 4\" width=\"634\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Finish the Face and Clothing</h2>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow to the body part I don’t care to work on. It’s necessary but I’m never motivated to do it.\r\n\r\nKeep in mind that 2 noses are not the same. Even if it’s the same person, different lighting of the subject will have the nose casting or using different shadows. Now you understand why I don’t care too much for it.\r\n\r\nAnywho, the first thing I work on are the nostrils with a tortillion. I then smooth the nose edges and try to make it appear as if they are soft shadows instead of hard lines. I also try to bring some of the dark tone out toward the cheek area to show more blending that way.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/09-how-to-draw-whitney-houston-face.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2571\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2571\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/09-how-to-draw-whitney-houston-face.jpg\" alt=\"09 how to draw whitney houston face\" width=\"634\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nHere I’m working on some shading and tone on the face as well as certain details of the face like the cleft under the nose. I’ve also added the color to Whitney\'s shirt. It looks 2D and boring right now, but maybe I can spice it up.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/11-how-to-draw-whitney-houston-clothing.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2568\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2568\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/11-how-to-draw-whitney-houston-clothing.jpg\" alt=\"11 how to draw whitney houston clothing\" width=\"733\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nOkay, here is the finish drawing. I smudged the black that was on her shirt and used a <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/more/kneaded-eraser/\">kneaded eraser</a> to mimic the shimmer she had on her shirt. I also put some detail to her earrings and used a pencil eraser to add some small detail near the bottom of her shirt.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-whitney-houston.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2569\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2569\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-whitney-houston.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw whitney houston\" width=\"640\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\nOverall I think the skin tone could have been a lot darker, but I’ve always been precautious about darkening people in my drawings – fear of making a mistake that would be hard to get out. Oh well, none of us are perfect but we still aim for it.','See How to Draw Whitney Houston','','inherit','closed','closed','','2443-revision-v1','','','2016-01-01 09:44:36','2016-01-01 17:44:36','',2443,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/2443-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2583,2,'2016-01-01 10:04:15','2016-01-01 18:04:15','The hair gods really love me. I mean, they really love me to let me write this article on hair. Let it be known that I’m no high, exquisite expert but when it’s time to do the subject’s hair in either pencil, color pencil, or oil paint, I don’t play around. To me, hair is the ultimate expression. I even bought a movie because the star/girl in the movie was changing her hair style in every scene. What does that tell you? Any who, let’s get to the nitty gritty of things……drawing the hair and making it look as close to realism as possible.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2459 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0001-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0001\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nAs you can see in this first picture I drew out the basics. Keep in mind I won’t draw the whole face – just the hair since that is our focus. I mostly keep it simple, making sure the contour outline is close to what the original picture is.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2460 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0002-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0002\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nThe next step is “coloring” the hair some. I use a 3H pencil to add some light color to the hair. I then blend or smudge the pencil into the hair by using tissue to get the effect that I’m looking for. You can also use a tortillion but tissue is preferable.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2461 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0003-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0003\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nI then start to add darker tone to the subject (she’s a brunette) by using a 5B pencil. As you can see, I do not cover the whole hair with it. I leave some areas un-touched; they will be the areas where light is reflected or a lighter tone of the hair will be.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2462 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0004-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0004\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nThe next thing I’m going to perform is smudging/blending again but I will use a tortillion. The reason I do this is because a piece of tissue will spread the graphite of the pencil too much. I would like some of the graphite to spread but not so much that it doesn’t illustrate strands of hair. A tortillion will isolate the graphite, limiting it as to how far it will spread from its original location.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2463 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0005-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0005\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nIn the final stage, I will add more darker tone and some hair strands to certain areas to make it realistic. I will also utilize the kneaded eraser here to lift certain tones to the hair and add highlights.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2464 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0001-2-164x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0001\" width=\"164\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nLet’s do another exercise of drawing more hair! This time we will be doing blonde hair since it doesn’t require the same amount of graphite. This will actually be quick and fast since less work is required. As usual, you can see that I did a quick sketch of one of my pictures of a model. Please don’t get in an uproar over how the fingers look. If this was about hands and fingers, they would be on point, but I was sketching quick and I wanted to jump on the hair so………..\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2465 aligncenter\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Scan0002-2-164x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0002\" width=\"164\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\nFirst thing I do, like in the first example, I “color” the hair but in this case, I used a lighter pencil (5H).

I mean, they really love me to let me write this article on hair. Let it be known that I’m no high, exquisite expert; but when it’s time to do the subject’s hair in either pencil, color pencil, or oil paint, I don’t play around.\r\n\r\nTo me, hair is the ultimate expression. I even bought a movie because the star/girl in the movie was changing her hair style in every scene. What does that tell you? Any who, let’s get to the nitty gritty of things……how to draw hair and make it look as close to realism as possible.\r\n<h2>How to Draw Brunette Hair</h2>\r\nAs you can see in this first picture, I drew out the basics. Keep in mind I won’t draw the whole face – just the hair since that is our focus. I mostly keep it simple, making sure the contour outline is close to what the original picture is.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/01-how-to-draw-hair.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2586\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2586\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/01-how-to-draw-hair.jpg\" alt=\"01 how to draw hair\" width=\"800\" height=\"797\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe next step is “coloring” the hair some. I use a 3H pencil to add some light color to the hair. I then blend or smudge the pencil into the hair by using tissue to get the effect that I’m looking for. You can also use a tortillion but tissue is preferable.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/02-how-to-draw-hair.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2588\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2588\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/02-how-to-draw-hair.jpg\" alt=\"02 how to draw hair\" width=\"800\" height=\"797\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nI then start to add darker tone to the subject (she’s a brunette) by using a 5B pencil. As you can see, I do not cover the whole hair with it. I leave some areas untouched. They will be the areas where light is reflected or a lighter tone of the hair will be.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/03-how-to-draw-hair.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2589\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2589\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/03-how-to-draw-hair.jpg\" alt=\"03 how to draw hair\" width=\"800\" height=\"797\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe next thing I’m going to perform is smudging/blending again, but I will use a <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/more/tortillions/\">tortillion</a>. The reason I do this is because a piece of tissue will spread the graphite of the pencil too much. I would like some of the graphite to spread, but not so much that it doesn’t illustrate strands of hair. A tortillion will isolate the graphite, limiting it as to how far it will spread from its original location.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/04-how-to-draw-hair.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2591\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2591\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/04-how-to-draw-hair.jpg\" alt=\"04 how to draw hair\" width=\"800\" height=\"797\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nIn the final stage, I will add more darker tone and some hair strands to certain areas to make it realistic. I will also utilize the <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/more/kneaded-eraser/\">kneaded eraser</a> here to lift certain tones from the hair and add highlights.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/05-how-to-draw-hair.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2590\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2590\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/05-how-to-draw-hair.jpg\" alt=\"05 how to draw hair\" width=\"800\" height=\"797\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>How to Draw Blonde Hair</h2>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nLet’s do another exercise of drawing more hair! This time we will see how to draw blonde hair since it doesn’t require the same amount of graphite. This will actually be quick and fast since less work is required.\r\n\r\nAs usual, you can see that I did a quick sketch of one of my pictures of a model. Please don’t get in an uproar over how the fingers look. If this was about hands and fingers, they would be on point, but I was sketching quickly and I wanted to jump on the hair, so………..\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/01-how-to-draw-blonde-hair.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2592\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2592\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/01-how-to-draw-blonde-hair.jpg\" alt=\"01 how to draw blonde hair\" width=\"438\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nFirst thing I do, like in the first example, is “color” the hair. But in this case, I use a lighter pencil (5H). I then use a 3B pencil to add some dark tone to the top of her hair, followed by some smudging/blending.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/02-how-to-draw-blonde-hair.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2593\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2593\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/02-how-to-draw-blonde-hair.jpg\" alt=\"02 how to draw blonde hair\" width=\"438\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nI then use that same 3B pencil to add JUST A FEW hair strands to the subject.

The first six approaches will consider the age. The last four are more stylistic approaches.\n<h2>Consider the Age of the Children</h2>\nFirst consider the age and development of the child before you begin. Refer to one of the age groups that I list below for how to draw children. There are instructions for <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/a-look-at-child-proportions-from-toddler-to-teen/\">different age groups</a>.\n<h3>1. Infants</h3>\nNotice the proportions of an infant. The majority of the body is the head and the rest of the body is almost the same size. There is little to no difference between boys and girls.\n\nDrawing infants or babies is quite simple. You can break it down in a couple of steps.\n\n<strong>Head:</strong> To create the head, just create one circle for the face and then another circle for the head.\n\n<strong>Body:</strong> The body should be about an equal size with the head. Figure out how many heads you need for the body.\n\n<strong>Details:</strong> Draw softly for details like eyebrows, hair, and face features. Draw shapes for the cheeks, eyes, and the outline of the head.\n\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-01-infant.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2858\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2858\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-01-infant.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw children 01 infant\" width=\"360\" height=\"600\" /></a>\n\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-02-infant.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2852\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2852\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-02-infant.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw children 02 infant\" width=\"360\" height=\"600\" /></a>\n\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-03-infant.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2853\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2853\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-03-infant.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw children 03 infant\" width=\"360\" height=\"600\" /></a>\n\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-04-infant.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2849\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2849\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-04-infant.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw children 04 infant\" width=\"386\" height=\"600\" /></a>\n\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-05-infant.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2854\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2854\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-05-infant.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw children 05 infant\" width=\"360\" height=\"600\" /></a>\n\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-06-infant.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2850\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2850\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-06-infant.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw children 06 infant\" width=\"480\" height=\"600\" /></a>\n<h3>2. Toddlers</h3>\nThere is only a slight difference between infants and toddlers. The largest difference is how big the child is. Depending on the age of the toddler, he or she will still have infant proportions. The overall body shape of a boy and a girl is still very similar.\n\nNote that toddlers should have a longer body than an infant. So you add a half or a full head, depending on age.\n<h3>3. Early Childhood / Kindergarteners</h3>\nThere are significant changes at this age. It is possible for children at this age to be approximately one-half the size of an adult. The general body shape is still similar to that of a toddler, but you will start to see a difference.\n\n<strong>Boys:</strong> It\'s the same idea as drawing a toddler, but taller and older.\n\n<strong>Girls:</strong> The body shape starts to change. You also begin to notice a difference between girls and boys. Be sure to draw as carefully as possible, or your child will look older than she is.\n<h3>4. Elementary School Years</h3>\nGirls partially start developing early. Notice also other important changes as children get older.\n\n<strong>Boys:</strong> Between 3rd grade - 5th grade, boys will catch up with girls and start surpassing them in height. They will also have overall larger bodies.\n\n<strong>Girls:</strong> Girls will go through a change of body shape again, typically 2 or 3 years before boys.\n\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-07-boy.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2855\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2855\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-07-boy.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw children 07 boy\" width=\"360\" height=\"600\" /></a>\n\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-08-boy.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2859\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2859\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-08-boy.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw children 08 boy\" width=\"360\" height=\"600\" /></a>\n\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-09-boy.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2860\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2860\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-09-boy.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw children 09 boy\" width=\"360\" height=\"600\" /></a>\n\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-10-boy.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2856\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2856\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-10-boy.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw children 10 boy\" width=\"360\" height=\"600\" /></a>\n\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-11-boy.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2857\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2857\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-11-boy.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw children 11 boy\" width=\"360\" height=\"600\" /></a>\n\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-12-boy.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2851\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2851\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-12-boy.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw children 12 boy\" width=\"360\" height=\"600\" /></a>\n<h3>5. Middle School / Preteen</h3>\nProportions are about the same as elementary school kids, but girls are a lot more mature and will start looking like teenagers. There is a wide range so you may need to refer to a different body shape/age group, depending on the child.\n\n<strong>Boys:</strong> At this age, boys should be about the same size as girls or bigger. However, for the most part, the overall body shape is still the same.\n\n<strong>Girls:</strong> At this age girls will change quite dramatically as they start blossoming into young ladies.\n<h3>6. Teenager/ Young Adult</h3>\nThere are key differences for both boys and girls from looking like a teenager to looking like an adult. Both boys and girl still have a young looking appearance in the face. You can do this by creating a slight exaggeration of the eyes, drawing a smoother face, and using softer details, like along the neckline. As you work with a subject who is older, details like the neck are more defined.\n\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-teen.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2862\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2862\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-teen.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw children teen\" width=\"800\" height=\"339\" /></a>\n<h2>Consider the Style in Which You Want to Draw the Children</h2>\n<h3>7. Free Style Drawing or Sketching</h3>\nWhen you don’t know how old someone is, look at a reference and draw what you see. Don’t get married to proportions, because certain things give people characteristics and drawing a person “how they are supposed to look\" will <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/see-how-to-sketch-a-person-in-4-easy-steps/\">give a good sketch</a> of a child but maybe not the person you are drawing.\n\nUnderstanding that each person\'s physical appearance is different will help you draw someone\'s “character” or personality instead of just a person. Children tend to have certain mannerisms (for example, drawing a child pose like sitting crisscross or playing).\n<h3>8. Cartoonlike</h3>\nConsider drawing personality traits like being silly, funny, or at play. This will create a more cartoonlike or childlike image. Create slight exaggerations of the body to transform your child into a cartoon which will capture a childlike image.\n\n<strong>Head:</strong> The head is largely disproportionate compared to the body for a good amount of your life.\n\n<strong>Eyes:</strong> A slight exaggeration of how big the eyes are will both give the child a more childish look and also a cartoonlike appearance.\n\n<strong>Body:</strong> Draw the child\'s body like an adult\'s body but a lot smaller. Just think \"make everything smaller.\" Also, knowing the key differences at certain ages will help capture the correct age group.\n<h3>9. Children with Family or Environment</h3>\nOne of the best ways to draw a child is to draw the child next to someone else. Keep in mind: the smaller the child, the younger they will appear.\n<h3>10. Appearance</h3>\nConsider clothing, face expressions, being uninventive, or any childlike mannerism you can think of. Drawing a character of that person or capturing that person\'s personality will help not only make your drawing like that person, but will create a sense of realism.','How to Draw Children: 10 Different Approaches','','inherit','closed','closed','','2525-autosave-v1','','','2016-01-23 13:13:35','2016-01-23 21:13:35','',2525,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/2525-autosave-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2855,2,'2016-01-23 11:44:33','2016-01-23 19:44:33','','how to draw children 07 boy','','inherit','open','closed','','how-to-draw-children-07-boy','','','2016-01-23 11:44:33','2016-01-23 19:44:33','',2525,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-07-boy.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2856,2,'2016-01-23 11:44:35','2016-01-23 19:44:35','','how to draw children 10 boy','','inherit','open','closed','','how-to-draw-children-10-boy','','','2016-01-23 11:44:35','2016-01-23 19:44:35','',2525,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-10-boy.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2857,2,'2016-01-23 11:44:36','2016-01-23 19:44:36','','how to draw children 11 boy','','inherit','open','closed','','how-to-draw-children-11-boy','','','2016-01-23 11:44:36','2016-01-23 19:44:36','',2525,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-11-boy.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2858,2,'2016-01-23 11:44:38','2016-01-23 19:44:38','','how to draw children 01 infant','','inherit','open','closed','','how-to-draw-children-01-infant','','','2016-01-23 11:44:38','2016-01-23 19:44:38','',2525,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-01-infant.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2859,2,'2016-01-23 11:44:39','2016-01-23 19:44:39','','how to draw children 08 boy','','inherit','open','closed','','how-to-draw-children-08-boy','','','2016-01-23 11:44:39','2016-01-23 19:44:39','',2525,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-children-08-boy.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2599,2,'2016-01-01 11:52:44','2016-01-01 19:52:44','First consider the age and development of the child before you begin.

However ,There are key difference for both boys and girls from looking like a teenager to looking like an adult. Both boys and girl still have a young looking appearance in the face, you can do this buy creating a slight exaggeration of the eyes, drawing a smother face, softer details like neck line. As you get older details like the neck are more defined.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2538\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/13-1-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"13\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" />\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2539\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/14-1-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"14\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" />               <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2540\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/15-1-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"15\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2541\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/16-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"16\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" />                  <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2542\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/17-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"17\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-2543\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/18-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"18\" width=\"395\" height=\"237\" />\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Consider the Style in Which You Want to Draw the Children</h2>\r\n7. Free style drawing or sketching\r\nWhen you don’t know how old some one is look at a reference and draw what you see. Don’t get married to proportions because certain thing give people characteristic and drawing a person “ how they are supposed to look “ will give a good sketch of a child but maybe not the person you are drawing.\r\nUnderstanding each persons physical appearance is different will help you draw some ones “character” or personality instead of just a person. Children tend to have certain mannerisms for example drawing a child pose thing like sitting crisscross, or playing.\r\n\r\n8. Cartoon like:\r\nconsider drawing personality like being silly, funny, or at play, this will create a more cartoon like or child like image. Create slight exaggerations of the body to transform your child in too a cartoon which will capture a child like image.\r\n\r\nPhysical features\r\nHead : is largely disproportionate compared to the body for a good amount of your life.\r\nEyes : a slight exaggeration of how big the eyes are will both give the child a more childish look and also cartoon like appearance.\r\n\r\nBody: like an adults body but allot smaller, just think make every thing smaller, also knowing the key difference at certain ages will help capture the correct age group.\r\n\r\n9. Children with Family or environment: One of the best ways to draw a child is to draw them next to some one else, keep in mind the smaller the child the younger they will appear.\r\n\r\nPOSS PHOTOS\r\n\r\n10. Appearance: Consider clothing, face exprensitions, being uninventive or any child like mannerism you can think of, drawing a character of that person, or capering that person personality will help not only make your drawing like that person but will create a sense of realism.\r\n\r\nPOSS PHOTOS','How to Draw Children: 10 Different Approaches','','inherit','closed','closed','','2525-revision-v1','','','2016-01-01 12:34:02','2016-01-01 20:34:02','',2525,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/2525-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2602,2,'2016-01-01 13:58:03','2016-01-01 21:58:03','The hair gods really love me. I mean, they really love me to let me write this article on hair. Let it be known that I’m no high, exquisite expert; but when it’s time to do the subject’s hair in either pencil, color pencil, or oil paint, I don’t play around.\r\n\r\nTo me, hair is the ultimate expression. I even bought a movie because the star/girl in the movie was changing her hair style in every scene. What does that tell you? Any who, let’s get to the nitty gritty of things……how to draw hair and make it look as close to realism as possible.\r\n<h2>How to Draw Brunette Hair</h2>\r\nAs you can see in this first picture, I drew out the basics. Keep in mind I won’t draw the whole face – just the hair since that is our focus. I mostly keep it simple, making sure the contour outline is close to what the original picture is.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/01-how-to-draw-hair.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2586\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2586\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/01-how-to-draw-hair.jpg\" alt=\"01 how to draw hair\" width=\"800\" height=\"797\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe next step is “coloring” the hair some. I use a 3H pencil to add some light color to the hair. I then blend or smudge the pencil into the hair by using tissue to get the effect that I’m looking for. You can also use a tortillion but tissue is preferable.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/02-how-to-draw-hair.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2588\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2588\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/02-how-to-draw-hair.jpg\" alt=\"02 how to draw hair\" width=\"800\" height=\"797\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nI then start to add darker tone to the subject (she’s a brunette) by using a 5B pencil. As you can see, I do not cover the whole hair with it. I leave some areas untouched. They will be the areas where light is reflected or a lighter tone of the hair will be.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/03-how-to-draw-hair.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2589\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2589\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/03-how-to-draw-hair.jpg\" alt=\"03 how to draw hair\" width=\"800\" height=\"797\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe next thing I’m going to perform is smudging/blending again, but I will use a <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/more/tortillions/\">tortillion</a>. The reason I do this is because a piece of tissue will spread the graphite of the pencil too much. I would like some of the graphite to spread, but not so much that it doesn’t illustrate strands of hair. A tortillion will isolate the graphite, limiting it as to how far it will spread from its original location.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/04-how-to-draw-hair.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2591\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2591\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/04-how-to-draw-hair.jpg\" alt=\"04 how to draw hair\" width=\"800\" height=\"797\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nIn the final stage, I will add more darker tone and some hair strands to certain areas to make it realistic. I will also utilize the <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/more/kneaded-eraser/\">kneaded eraser</a> here to lift certain tones from the hair and add highlights.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/05-how-to-draw-hair.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2590\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2590\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/05-how-to-draw-hair.jpg\" alt=\"05 how to draw hair\" width=\"800\" height=\"797\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>How to Draw Blonde Hair</h2>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nLet’s do another exercise of drawing more hair! This time we will see how to draw blonde hair since it doesn’t require the same amount of graphite. This will actually be quick and fast since less work is required.\r\n\r\nAs usual, you can see that I did a quick sketch of one of my pictures of a model. Please don’t get in an uproar over how the fingers look. If this was about hands and fingers, they would be on point, but I was sketching quickly and I wanted to jump on the hair, so………..\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/01-how-to-draw-blonde-hair.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2592\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2592\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/01-how-to-draw-blonde-hair.jpg\" alt=\"01 how to draw blonde hair\" width=\"438\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nFirst thing I do, like in the first example, is “color” the hair. But in this case, I use a lighter pencil (5H). I then use a 3B pencil to add some dark tone to the top of her hair, followed by some smudging/blending.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/02-how-to-draw-blonde-hair.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2593\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2593\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/02-how-to-draw-blonde-hair.jpg\" alt=\"02 how to draw blonde hair\" width=\"438\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nI then use that same 3B pencil to add JUST A FEW hair strands to the subject. You can also interpret this as me adding small dark tones to the blonde hair followed by smudging of the tortillion. It may be important to add some of the darker tones on the tips/end of the strand hairs to show some contrast.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/03-how-to-draw-blonde-hair.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2595\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2595\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/03-how-to-draw-blonde-hair.jpg\" alt=\"03 how to draw blonde hair\" width=\"476\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe hair at this stage is basically done. If the rest of the picture was to be completed, then the hair would fall right into place.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/04-how-to-draw-blonde-hair.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2594\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2594\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/04-how-to-draw-blonde-hair.jpg\" alt=\"04 how to draw blonde hair\" width=\"476\" height=\"800\" /></a>\r\n\r\nOnce you, yourself, can go through this stage with no problem mastering the technique of creating hair, the hair gods will find favor with you as well.','How to Draw Hair: Brunette and Blonde','','inherit','closed','closed','','2458-revision-v1','','','2016-01-01 13:58:03','2016-01-01 21:58:03','',2458,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/2458-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2604,2,'2016-01-01 15:05:48','2016-01-01 23:05:48','THE PURPOSE OF THIS ARTICLE IS TO LIST 10 DIFF APPROACHES TO DRAWING CHILDREN. THE FIRST 6 APPROACHES WILL CONSIDER THE AGE. THE LAST 4 ARE MORE STYLISTIC APPROACHES.\r\n\r\nFirst consider the age and development of the child before you begin. Refer to one of the age groups that I list below for how to draw children. There are instructions for different age groups.\r\n<h2>Consider the Age of the Children</h2>\r\n<h3>1. Infants</h3>\r\nNotice the proportions of a infant. The majority of the body is the head and the rest of the body is almost the same size. There is little to no difference between boys and girls.\r\n\r\nDrawing infants or babies is quite simple. You can break it down in a couple of steps.\r\n\r\n<strong>Head:</strong> To create the head, just create one circle for the face and then another circle for the head.\r\n\r\n<strong>Body:</strong> The body should be about an equal size with the head. Figure out how many heads you need for the body.\r\n\r\n<strong>Details:</strong> Draw softly for details like eyebrows, hair, and face features. Draw shapes for the cheeks, eyes, and the outline of the head.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2526\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/1-2-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"1\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" />          <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2527\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/2-1-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"2\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2528\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/3-2-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"3\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" />          <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2529\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/4-2-193x300.jpg\" alt=\"4\" width=\"193\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2530\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/5-2-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"5\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" />           <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2531\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/6-2-240x300.jpg\" alt=\"6\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" />\r\n<h3>2. Toddlers</h3>\r\nThere is only a slight difference between infants and toddlers. The largest difference is how big the child is. Depending on the age of the toddler, he or she will still have infant proportions. The overall body shape of a boy and a girl is still very similar.\r\n\r\nNote that toddlers should have a longer body than an infant. So you add a half or a full head, depending on age.\r\n<h3>3. Early Childhood / Kindergarteners</h3>\r\nThere are significant changes at this age. It is possible for children at this age to be approximately one-half the size of an adult. The general body shape is still similar to that of a toddler, but you will start to see a difference.\r\n\r\n<strong>Boys:</strong> It\'s the same idea as drawing a toddler, but taller and older.\r\n\r\n<strong>Girls:</strong> The body shape starts to change. You also begin to notice a difference between girls and boys. Be sure to draw as carefully as possible, or your child will look older than she is.\r\n<h3>4. Elementary School Years</h3>\r\nGirls partially start developing early. Notice also other important changes in the body as children get older.\r\n\r\n<strong>Boys:</strong> Between 3rd grade - 5th grade, boys will catch up with girls and start surpassing them in height. They will also have overall larger bodies.\r\n\r\n<strong>Girls:</strong> Go through a change of body shape again, typically 2 or 3 years before boys.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2532\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/7-2-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"7\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" />         <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2533\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/8-1-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"8\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2534\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/9-1-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"9\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" />          <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2535\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/10-1-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"10\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2536\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/11-1-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"11\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" />           <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2537\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/12-1-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"12\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" />\r\n<h3>5. Middle School / Preteen</h3>\r\nProportions are about the same as elementary school kids, but girls are a lot more mature and will start looking like teenagers. There is a wide range so you may need to refer to a different body shape/age group, depending on the child.\r\n\r\n<strong>Boys:</strong> At this age, boys should be about the same size as girls or bigger. However, for the most part, the overall body shape is still the same.\r\n\r\n<strong>Girls:</strong> At this age girls will change quite dramatically as they start blossoming into young ladies.\r\n<h3>6.

Thank you again for contributing to Let\'s Draw People!\r\n\r\nReview the editorial calendar, and then choose your articles below. You can choose any article that is \"<strong>OPEN</strong>\" in the WRITER column. Substitute any \"X\" you see in an article\'s title with the number of your choosing. Pick one&nbsp;or more articles that you want to write and for which you can provide images.&nbsp;Please make sure you are able to meet the deadline for the article(s) you choose.\r\n\r\nIf images are already provided for an article, feel free to use them as well as your own. Again, if&nbsp;you see a good reference photograph on the Internet but do not own the rights for it, DO NOT USE IT! Instead, you can find&nbsp;<em><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">legal-to-use</span> stock images</strong></em>, both free and affordable, on <a href=\"http://www.dreamstime.com/#res3619261\" target=\"_blank\">Dreamstime.com</a>. If you prefer to use another stock website, you can find others <a href=\"https://www.ventureharbour.com/royalty-free-stock-images-creative-commons-photos/\" target=\"_blank\">here</a> and <a href=\"http://www.authormedia.com/where-to-find-free-legal-photos-online/\" target=\"_blank\">here</a>. To confirm the source of your image, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>copy and paste the exact URL web address</strong></span> in the Description portion of the image when you upload it in WordPress.\r\n</p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">[table id=15 /]</p>\r\nThe <em><strong>keyword </strong></em>phrase is important. Imagine that someone wants to know \"how to draw women\". He types the keyword phrase \"how to draw women\" into a search engine like Google. Your article should appear in the search results because you include the phrase \"how to draw women\" several times throughout your article. Plus, the entire content of your article should center around the topic \"how to draw women\" and satisfactorily answer the question for the person who typed that phrase into Google.\r\n\r\nThe <em><strong>category</strong></em> is simply how the article will be organized and placed on this&nbsp;website. If you look at the main menu going across this site, you will see that all the articles on the website are organized by similar categories. Keep these broader categories in mind as you write your article or tutorial to make sure it will be a good fit for the category.\r\n<ul><li>If you click on \"<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Techniques</span>\" you will see articles about drawing techniques, tools, ideas, concepts, etc.</li>\r\n	<li>\"<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Facial Features</span>\" will have tutorials that teach how to draw eyes, a nose, a mouth, ears, hair, or the entire face.</li>\r\n	<li>Clicking on \"<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Figure and Clothing</span>\" will show you how to draw beyond the head and shoulders, focusing on full-length drawings of the body and clothes or parts of the body like hands and feet.</li>\r\n	<li>Articles in the&nbsp;category \"<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Children</span>\" will teach how to draw babies, toddlers, kids, and teens.</li>\r\n	<li>If you click on \"<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Everyday People</span>\" you will see a list of articles and tutorials that teach how to draw regular men and women you might see every day out in public.</li>\r\n	<li>Clicking on \"<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Well-Known People</span>\" will show you celebrities and other prominent people.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nPlease take sufficient&nbsp;time to very carefully check&nbsp;your writing&nbsp;for proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation!\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Use the form below to select the article or articles you want to write. If you have a suggestion to write&nbsp;an article on a different topic, you can do so as well. For example, you may want to give a tutorial on a celebrity or facial feature not mentioned, or you may want to provide advice on drawing tools or techniques not listed above. Your suggestion will be taken under consideration and if accepted, it may&nbsp;be used in lieu of an article already listed.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Remember, do not begin writing the article until you receive a confirmation email that you are assigned the article!</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[nform id=\'5\']</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"></p>','Editorial Calendar','','inherit','closed','closed','','2345-revision-v1','','','2016-01-02 21:49:11','2016-01-03 05:49:11','',2345,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/2345-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2617,2,'2016-01-02 21:50:23','2016-01-03 05:50:23','','drawing of a baby reference','<center><b> © <a href=\'http://www.dreamstime.com/santos06_info\'>Santos06</a> | <a href=\'http://www.dreamstime.com/\'>Dreamstime.com</a></b></center>','inherit','open','closed','','drawing-of-a-baby-reference','','','2016-02-23 21:16:53','2016-02-24 05:16:53','',3033,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/drawing-of-a-baby-reference.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2618,2,'2016-01-02 21:50:34','2016-01-03 05:50:34','','how to draw tennis shoes reference','<center><b> © <a href=\'http://www.dreamstime.com/zorandim_info\'>Zorandim</a> | <a href=\'http://www.dreamstime.com/\'>Dreamstime.com</a></b></center>','inherit','open','closed','','how-to-draw-tennis-shoes-reference','','','2016-09-11 05:37:17','2016-09-11 12:37:17','',3010,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-tennis-shoes-reference.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2619,2,'2016-01-02 21:50:58','2016-01-03 05:50:58','','how to draw tom brady reference','<center><b> © <a href=\'http://www.dreamstime.com/wickedgood_info\'>Jerry Coli</a> | <a href=\'http://www.dreamstime.com/\'>Dreamstime.com</a></b></center>','inherit','open','closed','','how-to-draw-tom-brady-reference','','','2016-01-02 21:52:44','2016-01-03 05:52:44','',0,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-tom-brady-reference.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2620,2,'2016-01-02 21:51:18','2016-01-03 05:51:18','','express yourself by drawing eyebrows','<center><b> © <a href=\'http://www.dreamstime.com/rattikankeawpan_info\'>Rattikan Keawpun</a> | <a href=\'http://www.dreamstime.com/\'>Dreamstime.com</a></b></center>','inherit','open','closed','','express-yourself-by-drawing-eyebrows','','','2016-01-02 21:53:33','2016-01-03 05:53:33','',0,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/express-yourself-by-drawing-eyebrows.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2621,2,'2016-01-02 21:51:39','2016-01-03 05:51:39','','drawing of a man with a beard reference','<center><b> © <a href=\'http://www.dreamstime.com/vadymvdrobot_info\'>Vadymvdrobot</a> | <a href=\'http://www.dreamstime.com/\'>Dreamstime.com</a></b></center>','inherit','open','closed','','drawing-of-a-man-with-a-beard-reference','','','2016-06-20 07:33:20','2016-06-20 14:33:20','',2884,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/drawing-of-a-man-with-a-beard-reference.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2773,2,'2016-01-16 21:15:52','2016-01-17 05:15:52','[[\"<center>Writer<\\/center>\",\"<center>Title<\\/center>\",\"<center>Keyword<\\/center>\",\"<center>Category<\\/center>\",\"<center>Length<\\/center>\",\"<center>Images<\\/center>\",\"<center>Payment<\\/center>\",\"Deadline\"],[\"McCruden\",\"How to Draw Pregnant Women and Babies\",\"how to draw women\",\"Everyday People\",\"500 -

I love to draw and paint but I cannot stand doing hands or feet. If I can get away with not drawing them, I will. Norman Rockwell, a famous, past artist had said it best, “People can forgive anything except the face and hands.”\r\n\r\nI remember one time I was doing a painting and I had to paint the girl’s hand and I decided to paint a rock piece in front of it so that I did not have to paint it. Yes they can be difficult.\r\n\r\n“But Carlos, why take on this article if you don’t do hands?” Well the answer is pretty simple: in order to be a good and decent artist, one must know how to master a series of things, and hands are no different.\r\n\r\nIn fact, I know a fellow artist who has always painted her subjects with their back or back of their head facing the audience because she did not like painting faces period. I look at drawing/painting hands as a challenge. Not everyone can do them correctly. To master the technique of drawing the hands is a feat in itself. It cannot be ignored or not addressed. Sooner or later you’ll need to draw them to continue expressing yourself in your art. If ignored, you’ll only eliminate personal growth for yourself and in your art. With that being said, let’s bite down and learn how to draw hands.\r\n<h2>Build the Hand with Basic Shapes</h2>\r\nThe first thing that you should do is draw two circles that will be the heel of the hand followed by four columns that go from small to large as they get closer to the base. Draw two lines that will be the thumb as well. You may need to draw one or two circles under the columns to illustrate where the hand will be strategically placed. Connect the columns with lines that will end up being that hand itself as well. Also make one or two broken, uneven lines on the columns to represent the areas where the fingers bend  – don’t forget about making one straight line at the base.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/01-how-to-draw-hands-shapes.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3123\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/01-how-to-draw-hands-shapes.jpg\" alt=\"01 how to draw hands shapes\" width=\"489\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nMoving right along, add some shading where necessary. In this case, shading is added to the right side illustrating that the light is coming from the left. Don’t forget to add skin folds in the hands and darken the tone on the finger folds some. Look at your hand and see how the folds are done. As you can see, they are uneven, broken, and not straight; use this as a drawing model for your picture. Also, round out the tips of the columns to portray them as the tips of the fingers.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/02-how-to-draw-hands-shapes.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3127\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/02-how-to-draw-hands-shapes.jpg\" alt=\"02 how to draw hands shapes\" width=\"489\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWe then need to erase all unnecessary lines in the hands themselves and off the fingers. We then take a tortillion and first smudge the folds in the hand palm and the finger folds. We then want to attack the shading that was applied to the right side of the hand to illustrate realism. Also, apply shading with the tortillion where you see fit to make the hand look real. I usually stray from the photo and add lighter or darker tones to make the picture look believable. I just don’t believe that you will be 100% accurate with a drawing compared to the original.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/03-how-to-draw-hands-shapes.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3126\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/03-how-to-draw-hands-shapes.jpg\" alt=\"03 how to draw hands shapes\" width=\"489\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>A Look at Two More Hand Positions</h2>\r\nThere are literally a countless number of possible positions in which hands can form themselves, far more than can be covered in the scope of this article. Let’s look at two more drawing examples that can help you get started:\r\n<h3>The Serving Hand</h3>\r\nThis hand drawing is very simple. Simple because all the fingers are together holding in place an object that hasn’t been drawn in yet. Basically you want to start off drawing the hand blocky and add lines representing the finger folds.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/04-how-to-draw-hands-serving.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3131\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/04-how-to-draw-hands-serving.jpg\" alt=\"04 how to draw hands serving\" width=\"600\" height=\"233\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAs you can see, the object that is being held by the hand has been drawn in, as well as details like the fingernails and shading, followed by the rounding of the tips of the fingers.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/05-how-to-draw-hands-serving.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3129\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/05-how-to-draw-hands-serving.jpg\" alt=\"05 how to draw hands serving\" width=\"600\" height=\"348\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWe then use a tortillion to blend/smudge the shading in between the fingers, the wrist area, and also some on the fingernails.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/06-how-to-draw-hands-serving.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3130\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/06-how-to-draw-hands-serving.jpg\" alt=\"06 how to draw hands serving\" width=\"600\" height=\"348\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe last thing we do is add some detail to the object being held. Basically we just add a dark tone in some of the area but not the whole thing. We then use the tortillion again to smudge in the dark areas, leaving some areas untouched to illustrate white or lighter tone in the object. Also, I added just a bit of small tone to the tips of the fingers to show some accuracy from the picture.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/07-how-to-draw-hands-serving.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3125\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/07-how-to-draw-hands-serving.jpg\" alt=\"07 how to draw hands serving\" width=\"600\" height=\"348\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>The Grabbing Hand</h3>\r\nNow let’s move on to the big daddy of the hand drawings. Trust me when I say this drawing wasn’t a walk in the park, but I did get it done……barely.\r\n\r\nI started off by drawing it freehand. It’s off by a little but I wasn’t worried about 100% accuracy at this stage; besides, I have time to fix it in the other stages. I also added some details to the folds of the fingers and darkened the outline, contour lines of the hand.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/09-how-to-draw-hands-grabbing.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3124\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/09-how-to-draw-hands-grabbing.jpg\" alt=\"09 how to draw hands grabbing\" width=\"548\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nIn this picture, you can see that I’ve added shading to the palm of the hand and some to the fingers.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/10-how-to-draw-hands-grabbing.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3121\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/10-how-to-draw-hands-grabbing.jpg\" alt=\"10 how to draw hands grabbing\" width=\"548\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe last part of this picture is executing the tortillion again. I basically blended in the shaded part to make it all come together.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/11-how-to-draw-hands-grabbing.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3122\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/11-how-to-draw-hands-grabbing.jpg\" alt=\"11 how to draw hands grabbing\" width=\"548\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Drawing Other Hands</h2>\r\nAs you can see, learning how to draw hands can be a challenge, but it can be done with practice. I believe that I could not cover everything that I wanted to in just one lesson, as this post primarily focuses on opened hands in different positions. If you were to draw hands that were grasping and holding certain objects, the shading on the hands would be different.

I love to draw and paint but I cannot stand doing hands or feet. If I can get away with not drawing them, I will. Norman Rockwell, a famous, past artist had said it best, “People can forgive anything except the face and hands.” I remember one time I was doing a painting and I had to paint the girl’s hand and I decided to paint a rock piece in front of it so that I did not have to paint it. Yes they can be difficult. “But Carlos, why take on this article if you don’t do hands?” Well the answer is pretty simple, in order to be a good and decent artist, one must know how to master a series of things and hands are no different.\r\n\r\nIn fact, I know a fellow artist who has always painted their subjects with their back or back of their head facing the audience because she did not like painting faces period. I look at drawing/painting hands as a challenge. Not everyone can do them correctly. To master the technique of drawing hands is a feat in itself. It cannot be ignore or not address. Sooner or later you’ll need to draw them to continue expressing yourself in your art. If ignored, you’ll only eliminate personal growth for you and in your art. With that being said, let’s bite down and hop on the hands.\r\n\r\nThe first thing that you should do is draw two circles that will be the heel of the hand followed by four columns that go from small to large as they get closer to the base. Draw two lines that will be the thumb as well. You may need to draw one or two circles under the columns to illustrate where the hand will be strategically placed; connect the columns with lines that will end up being that hand itself as well. Also make one or two broken, uneven lines on the columns to represent the areas where the fingers bend at – don’t forget about making one straight line at the base.\r\n\r\nMoving right alone, add some shading where necessary. In this case, shading is added to the right side illustrating that the light is coming from the left. Don’t forget to add skin folds in the hands and darken the tone on the finger folds some. Look at your hand and see how the folds are done. As you can see, there are uneven, broken, and not straight; use this as a drawing model for your picture. Also, round out the tips of the columns to portray them as the tips of the fingers.\r\n\r\nWe then need to erase all un-necessary lines in the hands themselves and off the fingers. We then take a tortillion and first smudge the folds in the hand palm and the finger folds. We then want to attack the shading that was applied to the right side of the hand to illustrate realism. Also, apply shading with the tortillion where you see fit to make the hand look real. I usually stray from the photo and add lighter or darker tones to make the picture look believable. I just don’t believe that you will be 100% accurate with a drawing compared to the original.\r\n\r\nLet’s look at some more drawing examples:\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThis hand drawing is very simple. Simple because all the fingers are together holding in place an object that hasn’t been drawn in yet. Basically you want to start off drawing the hand blocky and add lines representing the finger folds.\r\n\r\nAs you can see, the object that is being held by the hand has been drawn in as well as details like the finger nails and shading followed by the rounding of the tips of the fingers.\r\n\r\nWe then use a tortillion to blend/smudge the shading in between the fingers, the wrist area, and also some on the finger nails\r\n\r\nThe last thing we do is add some detail to the object being held. Basically we just add a dark tone in some of the area but not the whole thing. We then use the tortillion again to smudge it in the dark areas leaving some areas un-touch illustrating white or lighter tone in the object. Also, I added just a bit of small tone to the tips of the fingers to show some accuracy from the picture.\r\n\r\nNow let’s move on to the big daddy of the hand drawings. Trust me when I say this drawing wasn’t a walk in the park but I did get it done……barely.\r\n\r\nI started off by drawing it free hand. It’s off by a little but I wasn’t worried about 100% accuracy at this stage; besides, I got time to fix it in the other stages.\r\n\r\nHere I added some details to the folds of the fingers and darken the outline, contour lines of the hand.\r\n\r\nIn this picture, you can see that I’ve added shading to the palm of the hand and some to the fingers.\r\n\r\nThe last part of this picture is executing the tortillion again. I basically blend in the shaded part to make it all come together.\r\n\r\nAs you can see, this is a challenge but it can be done with practice. I believe that I could not cover everything that I wanted to in just one lesson. I will see to it that I do a part two on hands that will focus more on the hands grasping and holding certain objects. When grasping and holding, the shading on the hands is different. In fact, just their positioning period will rearrange the lighting bouncing off them. Please keep in mind that when drawing them, start by start making them into simple geometric shapes and then add detail and shading. This is actually the basic rule for everything when drawing but be particular when it comes to hands. The mobility and their flexibility make the hands a difficult subject to draw and paint but a satisfying subject when executed correctly.<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2626\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Scan0001-274x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0001\" width=\"274\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2627\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Scan0002-274x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0002\" width=\"274\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2628\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Scan0003-274x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0003\" width=\"274\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2629\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Scan0004-274x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0004\" width=\"274\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2630\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Scan0005-300x117.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0005\" width=\"300\" height=\"117\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2631\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Scan0006-300x174.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0006\" width=\"300\" height=\"174\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2632\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Scan0008-300x174.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0008\" width=\"300\" height=\"174\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2633\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Scan0009-300x174.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0009\" width=\"300\" height=\"174\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2634\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Scan0010-245x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0010\" width=\"245\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2635\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Scan0011-245x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0011\" width=\"245\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2636\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Scan0012-245x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0012\" width=\"245\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2637\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Scan0013-245x300.jpg\" alt=\"Scan0013\" width=\"245\" height=\"300\" />','Drawing the Hands','','inherit','closed','closed','','2625-revision-v1','','','2016-01-03 13:40:13','2016-01-03 21:40:13','',2625,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/2625-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2639,15,'2016-01-03 14:05:46','2016-01-03 22:05:46','Well it looks like the art gods do not smile upon me in this article.

Remember that when you are trying to draw people well enough and detailed enough for them to be recognizable as the intended person, it is often helpful to practice by drawing famous faces. I mean, what better test of your drawing skills than to show your work to people who immediately know who you were trying to draw, right?\r\n\r\nYou will see familiar drawings of different skill levels and different levels of detail in this gallery. Some drawings you may recognize, while others you may not. No matter how much or how little a drawing here captures a resemblance, take the opportunity to learn something from each piece. Some questions you may ask yourself as you view this gallery are:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Which obvious features did the artist include to help make the famous face easily recognizable?</li>\r\n	<li>Which details or subtle facial characteristics did the artist include to obtain such an accurate likeness of the subject?</li>\r\n	<li> What could the artist have done differently to make a better representation of the celebrity?</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThank you in advance to all artists who contribute their drawings of well-known faces to this gallery! Remember, too, that it\'s okay if your drawing doesn\'t come out perfectly or to your satisfaction. I am still hard on myself with some of my work, and I always see something I could have done differently for better results (even with my own drawings in this gallery!). The important thing to remember is, you should always feel good about sharing your artwork, celebrate your strengths, and learn from your mistakes.\r\n\r\nIf you have <strong>your own</strong> celebrity portrait drawing that you want others to view in this gallery, <a title=\"Share Your Work in a Portrait Gallery!\" href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/share-your-work/\">see how to share it with us</a>.\r\n\r\n[gallery link=\"file\" ids=\"759,753,734,799,798,797,796,790,791,792,793,794,789,788,787,786,785,784,783,795,1171,1633,1721,2483,2489,2569,2642\" orderby=\"rand\"]','Drawings of Well-Known Faces','','inherit','closed','closed','','659-revision-v1','','','2016-01-06 22:07:20','2016-01-07 06:07:20','',659,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/659-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2645,2,'2016-01-13 02:42:34','2016-01-13 10:42:34','If you are the kind of person who identifies yourself as someone who cannot draw a straight line, then the idea of drawing a face may be a little daunting to you. The fact is, everybody has <em><strong>some basic level</strong></em> of drawing skill. I suspect that you are even more capable of drawing a face than you may realize.\r\n\r\nLet\'s look at an example of a face that might be drawn by someone who is considered a beginning artist or a non-artist with little drawing skill:\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-by-beginner.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2756\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2756\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-by-beginner.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw a face drawing by beginner\" width=\"423\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\nThis drawing includes many common mistakes made by people who struggle when it comes to drawing a face. Even if this is what you consider as the extent of your drawing capabilities, this is a good thing! This can be used as a foundation for creating a more impressive face drawing. The reason that some drawings look more professional or more appealing than others is very simple - attention to detail!\r\n\r\nThe goal of this one lesson is not to take you from a beginning artist to someone who can create a breathtaking portrait drawing that looks like a photograph. That does not happen in one day (although it <strong><em>can happen</em></strong> much sooner than you think).\r\n\r\nWe are not dealing with any complicated shading or blending techniques here. The goal of this lesson is to show you how to draw a face by bringing more attention to detail to what you are already doing - your line drawings. A line drawing is a drawing made up of lines and little to no shading.\r\n\r\nThe more detail you add to a simple line drawing, the more it will <strong><em>gradually</em></strong> take on a realistic appearance. How do you know which details to add? It all begins by studying faces and different facial features with careful observations.\r\n<h2><strong>Details to Look for When Drawing a Face</strong></h2>\r\nTo help trigger your powers of observation and begin to add those subtle little details to your drawings, I have come up with a list of 15 details beginning artists commonly overlook when they draw a face. Let\'s see how adding these 15 simple little tweaks to the drawing example above can improve our face drawing a bit.\r\n<h3><strong>1. Inner Corners of the Eyes</strong></h3>\r\nLet\'s look carefully at this image of an eye. What do you notice at the inner corner of the eye?\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/01-how-to-draw-a-face-photo-inner-corner-eye.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2670\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2670 size-full\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/01-how-to-draw-a-face-photo-inner-corner-eye.jpg\" alt=\"01 how to draw a face photo inner corner eye\" width=\"800\" height=\"591\" /></a></p>\r\nThis pink nodule is often mistakenly called a tear duct. In actuality, the tear ducts are located just above and below it. The technical term for one of these is “lacrimal caruncle”. Regardless of what it should be called, you should always draw this little nodule at the inner corner of each eye.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/01-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-inner-corner-eye.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2702\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2702\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/01-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-inner-corner-eye.jpg\" alt=\"01 how to draw a face drawing inner corner eye\" width=\"800\" height=\"313\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>2. Rim of the Eyelid</strong></h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">All too often, people draw the almond shape of the eye and leave it at that. Then <strong>if</strong> they remember to draw eyelashes, they draw the eyelashes from this border of the eye, leaving a very unnatural look.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/02-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-inner-rim-nonexample.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2703\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2703\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/02-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-inner-rim-nonexample.jpg\" alt=\"02 how to draw a face drawing inner rim nonexample\" width=\"330\" height=\"184\" /></a></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Upon closer examination of an eye, you see a rim of skin around the top and bottom. This rim of skin serves as the top and bottom of the eyelids.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/02-how-to-draw-a-face-photo-eyelid-rim.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2669\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2669 size-full\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/02-how-to-draw-a-face-photo-eyelid-rim.jpg\" alt=\"02 how to draw a face photo eyelid rim\" width=\"800\" height=\"591\" /></a></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Be sure to draw this rim around the top and bottom of your eye. Then when you do draw the eyelashes correctly later, they will spring from the eyes more naturally.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/02-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-inner-rim.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2704\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2704\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/02-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-inner-rim.jpg\" alt=\"02 how to draw a face drawing inner rim\" width=\"800\" height=\"178\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>3. Highlights in the Eyes</strong></h3>\r\nWhen you are drawing eyes, you should always be in the habit of drawing the iris and pupil of each eye. Beginning artists very often draw an iris but no pupil. The ones that do draw both tend to leave out a third element - the highlight.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/03-how-to-draw-a-face-photo-highlight.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2671\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2671 size-full\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/03-how-to-draw-a-face-photo-highlight.jpg\" alt=\"03 how to draw a face photo highlight\" width=\"800\" height=\"591\" /></a></p>\r\nA highlight usually overlaps both the iris and pupil, but it can be located anywhere on the eye depending on the light source. It is often circular but can take on other shapes as well. If I am drawing without a reference photograph, I have always found you cannot go wrong with a circular highlight along the iris-pupil border. If you are not used to doing it, this one little detail alone can make a significant difference to your line drawing.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/03-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-highlight.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2713\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2713\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/03-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-highlight.jpg\" alt=\"03 how to draw a face drawing highlight\" width=\"800\" height=\"190\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>4. Eyebrow Hairs</strong></h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The eyebrow is not one solid clump of mass. Therefore, you should not draw eyebrows as a harsh border and shaded in with solid or zigzag color, like this...</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/04-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-eyebrow-nonexample.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2719\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2719\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/04-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-eyebrow-nonexample.jpg\" alt=\"04 how to draw a face drawing eyebrow nonexample\" width=\"800\" height=\"120\" /></a></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Rather, the eyebrow is a collection of individual hairs that happen to be living close together, flowing together in generally the same direction.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/04-how-to-draw-a-face-photo-eyebrow.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2672\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2672 size-full\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/04-how-to-draw-a-face-photo-eyebrow.jpg\" alt=\"04 how to draw a face photo eyebrow\" width=\"800\" height=\"330\" /></a></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Instead of drawing an eyebrow, draw the hairs that make up the eyebrow. Use pencil strokes the same length as the individual hairs of each eyebrow. Draw in the same direction as the hair growth. Give the border a natural appearance by making evident some loose strands that are independent of each other.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/04-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-eyebrow.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2717\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2717\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/04-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-eyebrow.jpg\" alt=\"04 how to draw a face drawing eyebrow\" width=\"800\" height=\"123\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>5. Eyelash Length</strong></h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Eyelashes are not perfectly straight, they are not equally spaced from each other, and they are not all the same length like in our example...</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/02-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-inner-rim-nonexample.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2703\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2703 size-full\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/02-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-inner-rim-nonexample.jpg\" alt=\"02 how to draw a face drawing inner rim nonexample\" width=\"330\" height=\"184\" /></a></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Eyelashes curve and taper from the rim of the eyelid (remember that rim we drew earlier?). Some are intertwined and other grow away from each other. More importantly, some are long and some are short.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/05-how-to-draw-a-face-photo-eyelashes.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2668\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2668 size-full\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/05-how-to-draw-a-face-photo-eyelashes.jpg\" alt=\"05 how to draw a face photo eyelashes\" width=\"800\" height=\"591\" /></a></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Carefully study your subject to get the length of the eyelashes just right. If you are not drawing from a single reference photograph, look at several examples of eyelashes in photos of different people. I like to use the eyelids as a reference for how long I should draw the eyelashes. For example, do the top eyelashes extend beyond the top of the eyelid? In the example above, many of them do. Let\'s try to fix our drawing to create a similar appearance.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/05-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-eyelashes.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2710\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2710\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/05-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-eyelashes.jpg\" alt=\"05 how to draw a face drawing eyelashes\" width=\"800\" height=\"210\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>6. Top of the Bridge of the Nose</strong></h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The way the top of the nose protrudes from the face varies from person to person. Sometimes it is very subtle, other times not so much. You do not have to be drawing a profile picture to see this. You can even get a sense of this with a direct frontal view of someone. Just look at these two examples. Even the depth of the eye sockets gives a sense of protrusion.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/06-how-to-draw-a-face-photo-nose-top-bridge.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2676\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2676\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/06-how-to-draw-a-face-photo-nose-top-bridge.jpg\" alt=\"06 how to draw a face photo nose top bridge\" width=\"800\" height=\"180\" /></a></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">When many novice artists draw faces, so much attention is given to the bottom of the nose, leaving the top of the nose neglected. Keep this top region of the nose in mind when you draw faces. Think about how the bridge of your subject’s nose connects to the bottom of the forehead. Indicate if there is an obvious crease or slope. Consider how the eye sockets curve into the bridge.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/06-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-nose-top-bridge.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2708\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2708\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/06-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-nose-top-bridge.jpg\" alt=\"06 how to draw a face drawing nose top bridge\" width=\"641\" height=\"364\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>7. Wings of the Nose</strong></h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">As mentioned previously, more attention is often given to the bottom area of the nose. That being said, it still remains a major point of frustration for a lot of beginners. Drawing the nostrils can be especially bothersome if you are drawing two dark circles and wondering why the nose does not look right...</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/07-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-nostrils-nonexample.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2720\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2720\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/07-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-nostrils-nonexample.jpg\" alt=\"07 how to draw a face drawing nostrils nonexample\" width=\"444\" height=\"311\" /></a></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The nostrils are not just two holes poked into a single lump of flesh. The nose has several components that work together to form the nostrils. The major players in the creation of the nostrils are the \"wings\" of cartilage that curve from the tip and form those openings that we so lovingly call nostrils.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/07-how-to-draw-a-face-photo-nostrils.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2677\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2677\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/07-how-to-draw-a-face-photo-nostrils.jpg\" alt=\"07 how to draw a face photo nostrils\" width=\"489\" height=\"339\" /></a></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Think about how these wings are to be shaped. Draw each wing so that it looks folded and leaves an opening. This opening will be a more natural-looking nostril for your line drawing.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/07-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-nostrils.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2716\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2716\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/07-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-nostrils.jpg\" alt=\"07 how to draw a face drawing nostrils\" width=\"483\" height=\"283\" /></a></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/face-drawing-checklist-lm-post/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2871\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2871\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/lm-face-drawing-checklist-text-ad-box.gif\" alt=\"lm face drawing checklist text ad box\" width=\"600\" height=\"225\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>8. Dip on the Top Lip</strong></h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">If you look along the top border of a top lip, you will likely notice a dip directly under the nose. It kind of makes the border of the top lip look like an elongated letter \"M\", grabbed at both legs and stretched out wide.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/08-how-to-draw-a-face-photo-top-lip-dip.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2682\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2682\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/08-how-to-draw-a-face-photo-top-lip-dip.jpg\" alt=\"08 how to draw a face photo top lip dip\" width=\"800\" height=\"399\" /></a></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Between this \"M\" and the nose, you should also notice a slight depression in the skin. Be sure to reflect both of these traits in your drawing as best as you can.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/08-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-top-lip-dip.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2718\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2718\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/08-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-top-lip-dip.jpg\" alt=\"08 how to draw a face drawing top lip dip\" width=\"491\" height=\"177\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>9. Line around the Lip</strong></h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Depending on your subject, sometimes there is a little pale trim or ring that hugs the border of the upper lip. You might see it around the lower lip as well.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/09-how-to-draw-a-face-photo-lip-rim.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2683\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2683\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/09-how-to-draw-a-face-photo-lip-rim.jpg\" alt=\"09 how to draw a face photo lip rim\" width=\"800\" height=\"389\" /></a></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Again depending on the subject, it may or may not be that noticeable. I have noticed it enough times that I find myself looking for it in new reference photographs as I draw new faces. If you notice it and add it to your drawing, that will be one additional piece of detail that could potentially enhance your drawing.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/09-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-lip-rim.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2715\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2715\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/09-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-lip-rim.jpg\" alt=\"09 how to draw a face drawing lip rim\" width=\"559\" height=\"263\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>10. Corners of the Mouth</strong></h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Whether it be a smile, smirk, or frown, those facial muscles at the corners of the mouth play an important part in expressing your subject\'s mood. The little lines that form these muscles can also be very unique from person to person.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/10-how-to-draw-a-face-photo-corners-of-mouth.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2685\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2685\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/10-how-to-draw-a-face-photo-corners-of-mouth.jpg\" alt=\"10 how to draw a face photo corners of mouth\" width=\"800\" height=\"336\" /></a></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Try to imitate the lines you see at the corners of the mouth as closely as possible. Draw dimples if you see them. Include any smile lines that originate from the nose too. This can really help develop the likeness and recognizability of the person you are drawing.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"> <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/10-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-corners-of-mouth.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2709\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2709\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/10-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-corners-of-mouth.jpg\" alt=\"10 how to draw a face drawing corners of mouth\" width=\"652\" height=\"509\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>11. Grooves in the Lips</strong></h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Look closely enough at a pair of lips, and you will see vertical little grooves that line both the top and bottom. Some stand out more than others, but they are usually apparent on some level on all lips.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/11-how-to-draw-a-face-photo-lip-grooves.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2686\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2686\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/11-how-to-draw-a-face-photo-lip-grooves.jpg\" alt=\"11 how to draw a face photo lip grooves\" width=\"800\" height=\"336\" /></a></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Although these little grooves are not very obvious at a distance, it does not hurt to add a few. Of course if you are drawing a close-up image, a few more might be appropriate. Even then, you still should not feel the need to overdo it with these.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/11-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-lip-grooves.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2714\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2714\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/11-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-lip-grooves.jpg\" alt=\"11 how to draw a face drawing lip grooves\" width=\"670\" height=\"274\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>12. Helix</strong></h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Drawing ears can easily be a trouble spot for many people, but they don\'t have to be with a couple of well thought out lines. If you are drawing the frontal view of a face, you may barely be able to see the ear anyway. Nevertheless, you will still likely see the helix, which is the outer band of cartilage that establishes the shape of the ear.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/12-how-to-draw-a-face-photo-helix.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2687\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2687\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/12-how-to-draw-a-face-photo-helix-179x300.jpg\" alt=\"12 how to draw a face photo helix\" width=\"298\" height=\"500\" /></a></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Make sure the shape of the ear looks right by first making sure the ear is long enough. It should be roughly the length of the nose. Then draw the rim just inside the border of the ear and parallel to it. Notice how it tapers off toward the bottom.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/12-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-helix.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2711\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2711\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/12-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-helix.jpg\" alt=\"12 how to draw a face drawing helix\" width=\"800\" height=\"347\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>13. Antihelix</strong></h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The antihelix is the curve of cartilage adjacent to the helix.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/13-how-to-draw-a-face-photo-antihelix.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2690\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2690\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/13-how-to-draw-a-face-photo-antihelix.jpg\" alt=\"13 how to draw a face photo antihelix\" width=\"500\" height=\"470\" /></a></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Whenever you draw the helix, half the work of the antihelix is done (sometimes). If you are drawing a profile shot with a more direct view of the ear, you would have to more carefully study and draw the curves and shapes characteristic of your subject’s ear. If it is a frontal view drawing like in our example, you might have to indicate it with a slight overlap of the helix line, as seen in the above photograph on the right.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/13-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-antihelix.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2712\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2712\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/13-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-antihelix.jpg\" alt=\"13 how to draw a face drawing antihelix\" width=\"800\" height=\"321\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>14. Overlapping Hair</strong></h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Just like you should draw a collection of hairs that make the eyebrows, you should draw a collection of hairs to draw the hair on the head. Obviously these hairs are much longer than eyebrow hairs, so there might be a lot more overlap.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/14-how-to-draw-a-face-photo-hair-overlap.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2691\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2691\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/14-how-to-draw-a-face-photo-hair-overlap.jpg\" alt=\"14 how to draw a face photo hair overlap\" width=\"458\" height=\"500\" /></a></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Look for sections of hair that overlap other sections. Draw strands that represent a natural, loose flow. Don\'t feel the need to draw each individual strand or the entire length of a strand. You can draw them at their source on the scalp, at their destination, and at a length or two along the way, especially where they might be overlapping other hairs.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/14-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-hair-overlap.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2706\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2706\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/14-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-hair-overlap.jpg\" alt=\"14 how to draw a face drawing hair overlap\" width=\"423\" height=\"600\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>15. Loose Strands on the Outer Edges</strong></h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Look for strands of hair that separate themselves from the overall mass. These strands are commonly visible along the outside edges.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/15-how-to-draw-a-face-photo-loose-strands.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2692\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2692\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/15-how-to-draw-a-face-photo-loose-strands.jpg\" alt=\"15 how to draw a face photo loose strands\" width=\"458\" height=\"500\" /></a></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">You might notice an abundance of these loose strands or not many at all, depending on the hairstyle. Again, there is no need to draw every strand that you see. Drawing just a few of these runaway hairs can add that final touch of authenticity to a line drawing.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/15-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-loose-strands.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2725\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2725\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/15-how-to-draw-a-face-drawing-loose-strands.jpg\" alt=\"15 how to draw a face drawing loose strands\" width=\"428\" height=\"600\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>How to Make These Tips a Habit</strong></h2>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">So after beginning with a basic drawing and applying these 15 details, here is the before and after result:</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/15-face-drawing-tips-before-and-after.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2753\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2753\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/15-face-drawing-tips-before-and-after.jpg\" alt=\"15 face drawing tips before and after\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" /></a></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">You should be able to check for and add these 15 things in your drawing no matter how much of a beginner you are.

Consider the space that you are drawing in and the space the figure will take up. When you are drawing, try to approximate the way the woman is standing and where her body parts are.\n\nTo draw a woman, start with some basic shapes like circles and lines. Keep in mind that a woman has a round body, so use curved lines for shapes as you structure your sketch. Never draw one large circle for a part of the body like legs or the arms. Draw every part of the body as a separate part. Use several smaller circles to give a rough shape to your sketch. For example, legs would be drawn in 6 different shapes: hips, thigh, knee, lower leg, ankle, and foot.\n<h2>Proportions to Keep in Mind</h2>\nWoman  are about 7 circles tall. Create a circle to use and draw that shape one over top another so you have about 7 circles. This will be OK to start. You will be making adjustments as you sketch. The full size of the head  is slightly longer than a circle. Add about a half to get the full length. A woman is about two heads wide. Taking the full length of the head to the chin, turn the shape sideways  and create two shapes of that size next to one another at the same level. Her hips are about as wide as her rib cage, where her shoulder meets her torso. Draw the arm in several different circles: shoulders, upper arm, elbow, lower arm, and hand.  To draw the leg, break them up in different circles for the hips, upper leg, knee, lower leg, ankle, and feet.\n<h2>Body shape of a Woman</h2>\nWhile there are many different body shapes for woman, there is a general shape that can help you when drawing the woman’s body. Use a figure eight or hour glass type figure to give an estimated idea of the woman’s body. When drawing a model, notice the differences between her body and the standard female figure and make adjustments when needed. While using proportions and body shapes is a good way to learn how to draw a woman, try to keep your sketch similar to the model you are studying to create more classical drawings.\n\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2493\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/1-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"1\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2494\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/2-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"2\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2495\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/3-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"3\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2496\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/4-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"4\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2497\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/5-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"5\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2498\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/6-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"6\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" />\n<h2>Tips for Drawing the Female Body</h2>\nFemale breasts can be difficult to draw. Use an \"X\" over the torso, starting from the top of the shoulder and down to the rib cage. The \"V\" shape that is created by the \"X\" will help you draw where the sternum and collarbone are. The bottom of the \"X\" should be where the middle section starts. If you cut the \"X\" in half, this will give you a line of symmetry from where the breast line should start. This is slightly different for each woman and you should adjust accordingly. Notice that the female breast is not quite a circle. The chest or pectoral muscle is rectangular and the rest of the breast is made of body fat; so, the overall shape will be basically a combined rectangle, teardrop, and a semi circle.\n\nAfter building the basic structure, you break those in two smaller shapes and then draw lightly, as you will be modifying your lines so you have a better understanding of how to draw a woman. The arm for example is about 6 shapes: the shoulder, the upper arm, the elbow, the lower arm, the fist, and the hand. Note that from the shoulder to the elbow and the elbow to the hand should be about an equal distance. Finish sketching a full basic figure before working on any details, checking your proportions as you create your drawing.  Keep in mind that depending on the view of the model, you may need to use measuring or figuring out your own proportions instead of standard proportions. If the body is turned, simple basic proportions are hard to apply.\n\nNext work on details like the face. Pencil in the face and clean up any extra marks. Also as you are working on the details, notice the lines that the body makes when you are adjusting them. Use guidelines for the face and for anything you need for symmetry. Now edit the rest of the body. The next step would be to edit any leftover lines that are not needed. Clean up any eraser marks and add shading to finish your drawing.\n\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2504\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/12-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"12\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" /><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2505\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/13-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"13\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" /><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2506\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/14-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"14\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" /><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-2507\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/15-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"15\" width=\"496\" height=\"298\" />\n\nThe back of a woman is different from the front. You can break down the back in simple shapes; however, placement becomes more important because there is more smooth area on the back. Having a line in the right place will draw attention to the area.\n\nOne way to correct the difficulty of drawing the back side is to draw lightly and use shading instead of drawing. For shading technique, you draw a basic outline first. Instead of using lines to draw circles, find a #2 pencil. The shape of the pencil will help with shading, while a mechanical pencil can be harder to shade with. Shade large shapes that imitate the form of the body. Turning the pencil on its side instead of straight over on its head will help do this.\n\nI’ll note that sometimes I sharpen a pencil with a knife. That way, you have a longer point. Try to imagine using as much of the graphite as possible. If you are comfortable with charcoal, this will help create the effect even more. For charcoal, turn the square charcoal or charcoal pencil on its side or on an angle.\n\nOnce you have covered all dark area, use your eraser to draw. Instead of using the pencil, the eraser will act as the point of the pencil and help you create a clean line. This will also give it a soft effect. If you plan on going dark and detailed, make your marks as precise as possible because a human back can be more difficult to judge when it comes to placement of shapes and body parts.\n\nAfter drawing with the eraser, you will go back over dark areas with the charcoal for highlights and contrast and detail. Repeat this process multiple types until you get the effect you want.\n\nBe careful pressing hard with pencil or charcoal when using this technique. Try pressing as softly as possible because it will be difficult to erase marks that are pressed into the paper. For an even better look, find kneaded or other art erasers.\n\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2499\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/7-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"7\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2500\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/8-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"8\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2501\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/9-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"9\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2502\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/10-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"10\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" /> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2503\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/11-180x300.jpg\" alt=\"11\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" />\n\nYou can draw a woman in many ways, these are just some ideas for you to try.

However, colored pencils, as versatile as they can be, are still a far cry from being able to mimic an exact representation of the vast array of colors portrayed in real life or in a photograph.\n\nEven so, there is a lot you can do with colored pencils to get a look that is at least closer to a \"realistic\" look. For example, have you ever thought about \"painting\" with colored pencils?\n<h2>Burnishing...the Art of Painting with Pencils</h2>\nYou may be thinking, \"It\'s impossible to paint using colored pencils!\"\n\nThe reason I bring up painting is because out of all the art mediums, paint is the one most closely associated with the most realistic works of art.\n\nNow since the focus of this lesson is on the medium of colored pencils, wouldn\'t it be cool if we could achieve an effect similar to painting with our colored pencils?\n\nIt is quite possible to achieve such an effect using the technique of burnishing.\n\nBurnishing is a special process that allows you to create colored pencil drawings that resemble paintings. When you burnish, you are actually layering colored pencils in order to make a solid area of pigment. The burnishing process takes away the texture made by the drawing surface and leaves a result that looks similar to a painting.\n<h2>How to Burnish</h2>\nThere are several different ways you can burnish your colored pencil drawings. For now, I am going to share two of those ways. Don\'t worry...they are both effective and easy to implement!\n\nFor these examples, I used Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils. However, you can use these techniques with other brands as well.\n\n<em><strong>The first technique</strong></em> involves identifying the area you want to burnish and layering it with a white colored pencil. As you can see in the example below, the box on the left contains only the original color (Prismacolor True Blue - PC903) and is not burnished. The box on the right contains the True Blue after it has been burnished with White (PC938). You should use heavy pressure with your White pencil when burnishing.\n\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/true-blue-white.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3187\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/true-blue-white.jpg\" alt=\"true blue white\" width=\"521\" height=\"297\" /></a>\n\n<em><strong>The second technique</strong></em> involves doing the same thing as the first; only instead of using white to burnish, you will use what is called a Colorless blender (PC1077). A colorless blender is a special kind of pencil that has a binder inside of it (just like all colored pencils) but lacks the pigment that the binder is meant to hold together. You can find them sold individually or as part of a colored pencil accessory set. Here is what a colorless blender looks like:\n\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/colorless-blender.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3184\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/colorless-blender.jpg\" alt=\"colorless blender\" width=\"800\" height=\"212\" /></a>\n\nAs you can see in the example below, the box on the left contains only True Blue and is not burnished. The box on the right contains the True Blue after it has been burnished with the colorless blender. Again, you should use heavy pressure.\n\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/true-blue-colorless-blender.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3185\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/true-blue-colorless-blender.jpg\" alt=\"true blue colorless blender\" width=\"468\" height=\"344\" /></a>\n<h3>Which Technique Is Best?</h3>\nYou might notice that with both techniques, the True Blue experiences a change in value after being burnished.\n\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/true-blue-white-and-colorless-blender.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3186\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/true-blue-white-and-colorless-blender.jpg\" alt=\"true blue white and colorless blender\" width=\"452\" height=\"648\" /></a>\n\nYou might also notice that the white has a much greater effect on the change in value while the colorless blender\'s effect on value change is not as noticeable. You will have to decide what kind of effect you are going for, and that will help you decide on which technique to use.\n<h2>Drawing, Coloring, and Painting</h2>\nNot only is burnishing similar to painting, but it is also similar to the blending process of graphite pencils. Just like smoothing and blending out the graphite helps our black and white pencil art look more realistic, the burnishing process smooths and blends out the colors in our colored pencil art.\n\nNow you can see that with the help of burnishing, art drawn in colored pencils can appear even more like paintings. So the next time you \"draw\" in colored pencil, remember to try out one or both of these burnishing techniques and \"paint\" in colored pencil instead!','How to \"Paint\" with Colored Pencils','','inherit','closed','closed','','3176-autosave-v1','','','2016-07-15 12:05:15','2016-07-15 19:05:15','',3176,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/3176-autosave-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2651,2,'2016-01-09 14:00:26','2016-01-09 22:00:26','If you are the kind of person who identifies yourself as someone who cannot draw a straight line, then the idea of drawing a face may be a little daunting to you. The fact is, everybody has <em><strong>some basic level</strong></em> of drawing skill. I suspect that you are even more capable of drawing a face than you may realize.\r\n\r\nLet\'s look at an example of a face that might be drawn by someone who is considered a beginning artist (a term used throughout this post to include non-artists) with little drawing skill:\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[start pic of face]</p>\r\nEven if this is what you consider as the extent of your drawing capabilities, this is a good thing!

That does not happen in one day (although it <strong><em>can happen</em></strong> much sooner than you think).\r\n\r\nWe are not dealing with any complicated shading or blending techniques here. The goal of this lesson is to bring more attention to detail to what you are already doing - your line drawings. A line drawing is a drawing made up of lines and little to no shading.\r\n\r\nThe more detail you add to a simple line drawing, the more it will <strong><em>gradually</em></strong> take on a realistic appearance. How do you know which details to add? It all begins by studying faces and different facial features with careful observations.\r\n\r\nTo help trigger your powers of observation and begin to add those subtle little details to your drawings, I have come up with a list of 15 details beginning artists commonly overlook when they draw a face. Let\'s see how adding these 15 simple little tweaks to the drawing above can improve our face drawing a bit.\r\n<h3>1. Inner Corners of the Eyes</h3>\r\nLet\'s look carefully at this image of an eye. What do you notice at the inner corner of the eye?\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[photo of subject\'s right eye with arrow]</p>\r\nThis pink nodule is often mistakenly called a tear duct. In actuality, the tear ducts are located just above and below it. The technical term for one of these is “lacrimal caruncle”. Regardless of what it should be called, you should always draw this little nodule at the inner corner of each eye.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[face drawing with corner]</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>2. Rim of the Eyelid</strong></h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">All too often, people draw the almond shape of the eye and leave it at that. Then <strong>if</strong> they remember to draw eyelashes, they draw the eyelashes from this border of the eye, leaving a very unnatural look.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[pic of almond shape eye; same pic with eyelashes beside it]</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Upon closer examination of an eye, you see a rim of skin around the top and bottom.

Then when you do draw the eyelashes later, they will spring from the eyes more naturally.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[face drawing with rim]</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>3. Highlights in the Eyes</h3>\r\nWhen you are drawing eyes, you should always be in the habit of drawing the iris and pupil of each eye. Beginning artists very often draw an iris but no pupil. The ones that do draw both tend to leave out a third element - the highlight.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[photo with arrow on highlight]</p>\r\nA highlight usually overlaps both the iris and pupil, but it can be located anywhere on the eye depending on the light source. It is often circular but can take on other shapes as well. If I am drawing without a reference photograph, I have always found you cannot go wrong with a circular highlight along the iris-pupil border. If you are not used to doing it, this one little detail alone can make a significant difference to your drawing.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[face drawing with highlight]</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">4.

Give the border a natural appearance by making evident some loose strands that are independent of each other.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[face drawing with eyebrow]</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>5. Eyelash Length</strong></h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Eyelashes are not perfectly straight, they are not equally spaced from each other, and they are not all the same length like in our example...</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[eyelash nonexample]</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Eyelashes curve and taper from the rim of the eyelid (remember that rim we drew earlier?).

If you are not drawing from a single reference photograph, look at several examples of eyelashes in photos of different people. I like to use the eyelids as a reference for how long I should draw the eyelashes. For example, do the top eyelashes extend beyond the top of the eyelid? In the example above, many of them do. Let\'s try to fix our drawing to create a similar appearance.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[face drawing with eyelashes]</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>6. Top of the Bridge of the Nose</strong></h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The way the top of the nose protrudes from the face varies from person to person. Sometimes it is very subtle, other times not so much. You do not have to be drawing a profile picture to see this. You can even get a sense of this with a direct frontal view of someone. Just look at these two examples. Even the depth of the eye sockets gives a sense of protrusion.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[photo of woman top nose beside man top nose]</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">When many novice artists draw faces, so much attention is given to the bottom of the nose, leaving the top of the nose neglected. Keep this top region of the nose in mind when you draw faces. Think about how the bridge of your subject’s nose connects to the bottom of the forehead. Indicate if there is an obvious crease or slope. Consider how the eye sockets curve into the bridge.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[face drawing with top of nose]</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>7. Wings of the Nose</strong></h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">As mentioned previously, more attention is often given to the bottom area of the nose. That being said, it still remains a major point of frustration for a lot of beginners.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Note the shape of the wings of the nose around the nostrils.

That does not happen in one day (although it <strong><em>can happen</em></strong> much sooner than you think).\r\n\r\nWe are not dealing with any complicated shading or blending techniques here. The goal of this lesson is to bring more attention to detail to what you are already doing - your line drawings. A line drawing is a drawing made up of lines and little to no shading.\r\n\r\nThe more detail you add to a simple line drawing, the more it will <strong><em>gradually</em></strong> take on a realistic appearance. How do you know which details to add? It all begins by studying faces and different facial features with careful observations.\r\n\r\nTo help trigger your powers of observation and begin to add those subtle little details to your drawings, I have come up with a list of 15 details beginning artists commonly overlook when they draw a face. Let\'s see how adding these 15 simple little tweaks to the drawing above can improve our face drawing a bit.\r\n<h3><strong>1. Inner Corners of the Eyes</strong></h3>\r\nLet\'s look carefully at this image of an eye. What do you notice at the inner corner of the eye?\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[photo of subject\'s right eye with arrow]</p>\r\nThis pink nodule is often mistakenly called a tear duct. In actuality, the tear ducts are located just above and below it. The technical term for one of these is “lacrimal caruncle”. Regardless of what it should be called, you should always draw this little nodule at the inner corner of each eye.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[face drawing with corner]</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>2. Rim of the Eyelid</strong></h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">All too often, people draw the almond shape of the eye and leave it at that. Then <strong>if</strong> they remember to draw eyelashes, they draw the eyelashes from this border of the eye, leaving a very unnatural look.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[pic of almond shape eye with eyelashes beside it nonexample]</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Upon closer examination of an eye, you see a rim of skin around the top and bottom. This rim of skin serves as the top and bottom of the eyelids.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[photo with arrows]</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Be sure to draw this rim around the top and bottom of your eye. Then when you do draw the eyelashes later, they will spring from the eyes more naturally.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[face drawing with rim]</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>3. Highlights in the Eyes</strong></h3>\r\nWhen you are drawing eyes, you should always be in the habit of drawing the iris and pupil of each eye. Beginning artists very often draw an iris but no pupil. The ones that do draw both tend to leave out a third element - the highlight.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[photo with arrow on highlight]</p>\r\nA highlight usually overlaps both the iris and pupil, but it can be located anywhere on the eye depending on the light source. It is often circular but can take on other shapes as well. If I am drawing without a reference photograph, I have always found you cannot go wrong with a circular highlight along the iris-pupil border. If you are not used to doing it, this one little detail alone can make a significant difference to your drawing.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[face drawing with highlight]</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>4. Eyebrow Hairs</strong></h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The eyebrow is not one solid clump of mass. Therefore, you should not draw eyebrows as a harsh border and shaded in with solid color, like this...</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[eyebrow nonexample]</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Rather, the eyebrow is a collection of individual hairs that happen to be living close together, flowing together in generally the same direction.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[photo of eyebrow]</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Instead of drawing an eyebrow, draw the hairs that make up the eyebrow. Use pencil strokes the same length as the individual hairs of each eyebrow. Draw in the same direction as the hair growth. Give the border a natural appearance by making evident some loose strands that are independent of each other.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[face drawing with eyebrow]</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>5. Eyelash Length</strong></h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Eyelashes are not perfectly straight, they are not equally spaced from each other, and they are not all the same length like in our example...</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[eyelash nonexample]</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Eyelashes curve and taper from the rim of the eyelid (remember that rim we drew earlier?). Some are intertwined and other grow away from each other. More importantly, some are long and some are short.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[photo of eyelashes]</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Carefully study your subject to get the length of the eyelashes just right. If you are not drawing from a single reference photograph, look at several examples of eyelashes in photos of different people. I like to use the eyelids as a reference for how long I should draw the eyelashes. For example, do the top eyelashes extend beyond the top of the eyelid? In the example above, many of them do. Let\'s try to fix our drawing to create a similar appearance.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[face drawing with eyelashes]</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>6. Top of the Bridge of the Nose</strong></h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The way the top of the nose protrudes from the face varies from person to person. Sometimes it is very subtle, other times not so much. You do not have to be drawing a profile picture to see this. You can even get a sense of this with a direct frontal view of someone. Just look at these two examples. Even the depth of the eye sockets gives a sense of protrusion.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[photo of woman top nose beside man top nose]</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">When many novice artists draw faces, so much attention is given to the bottom of the nose, leaving the top of the nose neglected. Keep this top region of the nose in mind when you draw faces. Think about how the bridge of your subject’s nose connects to the bottom of the forehead. Indicate if there is an obvious crease or slope. Consider how the eye sockets curve into the bridge.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[face drawing with top of nose]</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>7. Wings of the Nose</strong></h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">As mentioned previously, more attention is often given to the bottom area of the nose. That being said, it still remains a major point of frustration for a lot of beginners. Drawing the nostrils can be especially bothersome if you are drawing two dark circles and wondering why the nose does not look right...</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[nostril nonexample]</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The nostrils are not just two holes poked into a single lump of flesh. The nose has several components that work together to form the nostrils. The major players in the creation of the nostrils are the \"wings\" of cartilage that curve from the tip and form those openings that we so lovingly call nostrils.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[photo of nose w/ drawn curved guideline along nostril]</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Think about how these wings are to be shaped. Draw each wing so that it looks folded and leaves an opening. This opening will be a more natural-looking nostril for your drawing.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[face drawing with nostril]</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">*****AD BLOCK FOR LEAD MAGNET*****</p>','Don\'t Leave These 15 Commonly Overlooked Details Out of Your Face Drawing','','inherit','closed','closed','','2645-revision-v1','','','2016-01-09 15:49:38','2016-01-09 23:49:38','',2645,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/2645-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2656,2,'2016-01-09 15:56:10','2016-01-09 23:56:10','If you are the kind of person who identifies yourself as someone who cannot draw a straight line, then the idea of drawing a face may be a little daunting to you.

The fact is, everybody has <em><strong>some basic level</strong></em> of drawing skill. I suspect that you are even more capable of drawing a face than you may realize.\r\n\r\nLet\'s look at an example of a face that might be drawn by someone who is considered a beginning artist (a term used throughout this post to include non-artists) with little drawing skill:\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[start pic of face]</p>\r\nEven if this is what you consider as the extent of your drawing capabilities, this is a good thing! This can be used as a foundation for creating a more impressive face drawing. The reason that some drawings look more professional or more appealing than others is very simple - attention to detail!\r\n\r\nThe goal of this one lesson is not to take you from a beginning artist to someone who can create a breathtaking portrait drawing that looks like a photograph. That does not happen in one day (although it <strong><em>can happen</em></strong> much sooner than you think).\r\n\r\nWe are not dealing with any complicated shading or blending techniques here. The goal of this lesson is to bring more attention to detail to what you are already doing - your line drawings. A line drawing is a drawing made up of lines and little to no shading.\r\n\r\nThe more detail you add to a simple line drawing, the more it will <strong><em>gradually</em></strong> take on a realistic appearance. How do you know which details to add? It all begins by studying faces and different facial features with careful observations.\r\n\r\nTo help trigger your powers of observation and begin to add those subtle little details to your drawings, I have come up with a list of 15 details beginning artists commonly overlook when they draw a face. Let\'s see how adding these 15 simple little tweaks to the drawing above can improve our face drawing a bit.\r\n<h3><strong>1. Inner Corners of the Eyes</strong></h3>\r\nLet\'s look carefully at this image of an eye. What do you notice at the inner corner of the eye?\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[photo of subject\'s right eye with arrow]</p>\r\nThis pink nodule is often mistakenly called a tear duct. In actuality, the tear ducts are located just above and below it. The technical term for one of these is “lacrimal caruncle”.

Dip on the Top Lip</strong></h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">If you look along the top border of a top lip, you will likely notice a dip directly under the nose. It kind of makes the border of the top lip look like an elongated letter \"M\", grabbed at both legs and stretched out wide.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[photo of lip with regular M and stretched legs]</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Between this \"M\" and the nose, you should also notice a slight depression in the skin. Be sure to reflect both of these traits in your drawing as best as you can.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[face drawing of top lip]</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>9. Line around the Lip</strong></h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Depending on your subject, sometimes there is a little pale trim or ring that hugs the border of the upper lip. You might see it around the lower lip as well.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[photo with arrow of trim]</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Again depending on the subject, it may or may not be that noticeable. I have noticed it enough times that I find myself looking for it in new reference photographs as I draw new faces. If you notice it and add it to your drawing, that will be one additional piece of detail that could potentially enhance your drawing.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[face drawing with trim]</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>10. Corners of the Mouth</strong></h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Whether it be a smile, smirk, or frown, those facial muscles at the corners of the mouth play an important part in expressing your subject\'s mood. The little lines that form these muscles can also be very unique from person to person.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[photo with arrows to corners]</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Try to imitate the lines you see at the corners of the mouth as closely as possible. Draw dimples if you see them. This can really help develop the likeness and recognizability of the person you are drawing.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"> [face drawing with corners]</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>11. Grooves in the Lips</strong></h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Look closely enough at a pair of lips, and you will see vertical little grooves that line both the top and bottom. Some stand out more than others, but they are usually apparent on some level on all lips.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[photo with arrows of lines on lips]</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Although these little grooves are not very obvious at a distance, it does not hurt to add a few. Of course if you are drawing a close-up image, a few more might be appropriate. Even then, you still should not feel the need to overdo it with these.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[face drawing with lip grooves]</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>12. Helix</strong></h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Drawing ears can easily be a trouble spot for many people, but they don\'t have to be with a couple of well thought out lines. If you are drawing the frontal view of a face, you may barely be able to see the ear anyway. Nevertheless, you will still likely see the helix, which is the outer band of cartilage that establishes the shape of the ear.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[photograph with arrow on helix]</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Make sure the shape of the ear looks right by first making sure the ear is long enough. It should be roughly the length of the nose. Then draw the rim just inside the border of the ear and parallel to it. Notice how it tapers off toward the bottom.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[face drawing with helix]</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>13. Antihelix</strong></h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The antihelix is the curve of cartilage adjacent to the helix.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[side view photograph with arrow on antihelix; frontal view photograph with arrow]</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Whenever you draw the helix, half the work of the antihelix is done (sometimes). If you are drawing a profile shot with a more direct view of the ear, you would have to more carefully study and draw the curves and shapes characteristic of your subject’s ear. If it is a frontal view drawing like in our example, you might have to indicate it with a slight overlap of the helix line.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[face drawing with antihelix]</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>14. Overlapping Hair</strong></h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Just like you should draw a collection of hairs that make the eyebrows, you should draw a collection of hairs to draw the hair on the head. Obviously these hairs are much longer than eyebrow hairs, so there might be a lot more overlap.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[photograph with arrow of overlap hair]</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Look for sections of hair that overlap other sections. Draw strands that represent a natural, loose flow. Don\'t feel the need to draw each individual strand or the entire length of a strand. You can draw them at their source on the scalp, at their destination, and at a length or two along the way, especially where they might be overlapping other hairs.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[face drawing of overlap hair]</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>15. Loose Strands on the Outer Edges</strong></h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Look for strands of hair that separate themselves from the overall mass. These strands are commonly visible along the outside edges.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[photo with arrows to loose strands]</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">You might notice an abundance of these loose strands or not many at all, depending on the hairstyle. Again, there is no need to draw every strand that you see. Drawing just a few of these runaway hairs can add that final touch of authenticity to a line drawing.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[face drawing with loose strands]</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p>','Don\'t Leave These 15 Commonly Overlooked Details Out of Your Face Drawing','','inherit','closed','closed','','2645-revision-v1','','','2016-01-10 05:48:38','2016-01-10 13:48:38','',2645,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/2645-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),
