The good news is, there are a wide variety of shoes that exist for us to choose from. So I thought, what better way to begin learning how to draw shoes than to learn something simple? With that said, here is a lesson for drawing wedge high heel shoes. Here is a reference photo for us to draw. In case you are up for more of a challenge, the feet do come included!\r\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"> </p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"> </p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"> </p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-grid.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-141\" title=\"drawing wedge high heels grid\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-grid-300x216.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"216\" /></a>Step 1: Make a Grid</h3>\r\nMake a grid of 6 squares to use as guidelines. The size isn’t important, but use a ruler to construct your squares properly. This is an optional step, but it can also be a helpful one if you are drawing along with me and want to make your feet and shoes look as close to mine as possible. Grids are really useful for proper placement of your lines.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-shapes.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-144\" title=\"drawing wedge high heels shapes\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-shapes-189x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"189\" height=\"300\" /></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 2: Draw the Basic Shapes</h3>\r\nIn this drawing, I am focusing on the two center grid squares. Lightly draw basic shapes for the legs and feet. Use long oval shapes for the legs. Notice how the lines overlap? Even though the right leg is in front, we can still see the outlines of the left leg. This is a good thing, because it helps us to properly place the features that are not obstructed. We will go back later to erase lines that should be hidden. Use wedge shapes for the feet and toes. Use smaller oval shapes or circular shapes for the heel and ankles.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-shoes.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-146\" title=\"drawing wedge high heels shoes\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-shoes-176x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"176\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 3: Shape the Shoes</h3>\r\nBegin making a wedge shape for the wedge shoes. Since these are wedge high heels that we are drawing, they should be taller in the back. Show a little bit of curvature as they come up to the front.\r\n<h3> </h3>\r\n<h3> </h3>\r\n<h3> </h3>\r\n<h3> </h3>\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-legs.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-142\" title=\"drawing wedge high heels legs\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-legs-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" /></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 4: Define the Legs and Feet</h3>\r\nUse the shapes to add more defining lines of detail to the legs and feet. Your shapes from earlier are to serve simply as guidelines; don’t feel like you have to draw over them exactly. Notice here that I decided to draw to the right of my guideline, so the curve from the calf muscle would look more slender and natural. Also notice that I didn’t trace those lines of the left leg that are hidden behind the right leg in the foreground. Add in a line or two for the ankle, and do your best to indicate the toes, using your wedge shapes to help you.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-shoe-details.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-145\" title=\"drawing wedge high heels shoe details\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-shoe-details-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" /></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 5: Draw the Base of the Shoes</h3>\r\nDraw thin lines on the top and bottom of each shoe to represent the outer soles and insoles. There is a barely noticeable heel on the bottom of the shoe. Also, notice the space between the foot and the insole.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-straps.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-147\" title=\"drawing wedge high heels straps\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-straps-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" /></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 6: Add the Straps</h3>\r\nAdd the straps for the heel, toes, and ankles. You should draw the heel strap overlapping the insole a bit, and then erase the part the strap conceals. You can add a buckle and a few holes to the ankle strap.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-shade-lines.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-143\" title=\"drawing wedge high heels shade lines\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-shade-lines-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" /></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 7: Plan Your Shading</h3>\r\nMake guidelines to help you place some shading. This way you can plan your light source, draw where the shadows should be, and make any changes needed before committing a lot of shading.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-details.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-140\" title=\"drawing wedge high heels details\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-details-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" /></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 8: Add Final Details</h3>\r\nFinish up shading and add final details. Add in shading by using your guidelines from the last step. Consider which areas need to be darker, like just under the foot where it meets the insole and where the front leg casts a shadow on the leg behind it. Also notice a little shading progression on the front part of the shoes to indicate the curves.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/wedge-high-heels-finished.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-139\" title=\"wedge high heels finished\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/wedge-high-heels-finished-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" /></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 9: Erase the Guidelines</h3>\r\nCarefully erase your guidelines. This includes your square gridlines, any shape guidelines you didn’t need (like under the calf), and any that should be hidden from view (like the left leg behind the right). You’ll have to work around the lines you want to keep.\r\n\r\nAnd that is how you draw a pair of feet wearing wedge high heel shoes! Try practicing this with a different style of wedge shoe next time. This is also good practice for getting better at drawing feet, because you are drawing the shoes that conform to the basic shape of the foot and you are not drawing the feet in isolation. Feet and toes take time to learn…just keep practicing until you have a satisfying composition of shoes and feet!','How to Draw Feet Wearing Wedge High Heels','','inherit','open','open','','129-revision-v1','','','2012-07-24 09:59:07','2012-07-24 16:59:07','',129,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/129-revision-23/',0,'revision','',0),(165,2,'2012-07-29 00:02:11','2012-07-29 07:02:11','<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/kJw_7IeQEZ8?rel=0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\nWhen making a drawing of celebrities (or anyone else, for that matter), it&#146;s helpful to look for characteristics in their features that stand out or make them unique. Noticing these characteristics and including them in your drawing will help you to create a closer, more accurate likeness. In this tutorial, we will use this reference photo to learn how to draw Justin Bieber. Justin is a very popular star, and his face is known all over the world. I will point out some key characteristics of Justin&#146;s facial features along the way that will help us get a likeness that is close to his. So here we go&#133; watch the video above, read the steps below, and try your hand at it too!\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_852\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"320\"]<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Justin-Bieber-arrives.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-852     \" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Justin-Bieber-arrives.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"480\"></a> <strong> &copy; <a href=\"http://www.dreamstime.com/carrienelson1_info\">Carrienelson1</a> | <a href=\"http://www.dreamstime.com/\">Dreamstime.com</a></strong>[/caption]\r\n<h3>Step 1: Make a Grid and Guidelines</h3>\r\nMake a grid of 3 squares by 5 squares. As you follow along with me, try to draw as accurately as possible what you see in each square to keep things in proportion. Next, draw some basic guidelines for the face. Our reference photo is a recent picture of the Biebs, so since he is growing older, our &#147;oval&#148; shape will reflect a longer and more narrow face than when Justin was a younger child. Also, notice the lightly-drawn guidelines that will serve as rough placement for the center of the face, eyes, nose, and mouth.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/01-bieber-grid.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-727\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/01-bieber-grid.jpg\" alt=\"\" height=\"600\"></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Step 2: Draw the Eyes</h3>\r\nNotice in the previous step I said &#147;rough placement&#148;. Guidelines are meant to give you general guidance, but you don&#146;t have to be tied to them. So, rather than drawing the eyes directly on the guideline, I drew them just below the line, with the eyebrows above the guideline. Justin has noticeable eyelashes, so I didn&#146;t leave those out of the drawing. In addition, there is a tiny bit of foreshortening present since Justin&#146;s head is slightly turned. Therefore, I decided to leave one eye looking a little smaller than the other.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/02-bieber-eyes.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-728\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/02-bieber-eyes.jpg\" alt=\"\" height=\"600\"></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 3: Make Justin&#146;s Nose</h3>\r\nOur reference photo shows a nose with a rather short bridge and round tip. You can almost see the &#147;ball&#148; of cartilage at the bottom. These are distinguishing features to include when drawing Justin Bieber&#146;s nose. A not-so distinguishing feature (since it&#146;s common to just about everyone) is how the outer part of the nostril is practically in line with the inside corner of the eye.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/03-bieber-nose.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-729\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/03-bieber-nose.jpg\" alt=\"\" height=\"600\"></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Step 4: Draw His Mouth</h3>\r\nUse a combination of lines and shading to form some of the curves in Justin&#146;s lips. The front teeth that are visible in our photo look very similar in size. Take your time with the teeth. They can be tricky to draw but go a long way with forming a likeness. Also, draw some of the subtle lines outside the corners of Justin&#146;s mouth that form his smile and cheeks.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/04-bieber-mouth.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-730\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/04-bieber-mouth.jpg\" alt=\"\" height=\"600\"></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 5: Form the Ears and the Outline of the Face</h3>\r\nOnce again, because of foreshortening, one ear is clearly visible and the other is obstructed by Justin&#146;s face and barely noticeable. Just try to draw the outer part of the lobe that can be seen. Be sure to draw the earrings that Justin likes to sport too. Notice as well the characteristic lines that connect the cheeks to the chin.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/05-bieber-ears.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-731\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/05-bieber-ears.jpg\" alt=\"\" height=\"600\"></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 6: Draw Justin&#146;s Hair</h3>\r\nOkay, so far we are doing good, but it looks like we have a bald Biebs. What would a drawing of Justin Bieber be without all of that hair? He&#146;s got a lot of it that sits thick above the top of his skull. You are going to have to pay attention to how the hair is styled in different directions, and just &#147;go with the flow&#148;.&nbsp; Draw lines that go in the direction of the hair growth. Use the reference photo to assist you. You can see how he has a lot of strands curving upward from the hairline. Use combinations of dark against light as shown here to build volume. Draw a few hairs that are loose and hang away from the mass.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/06-bieber-hair.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-732\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/06-bieber-hair.jpg\" alt=\"\" height=\"600\"></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 7: Draw the Neck and Jacket</h3>\r\nThere&#146;s not too much to this part. We notice Justin wearing a t-shirt and jacket with a chain around his neck. We don&#146;t see the whole chain, since it hangs down out of our view. Do draw a bit of a shadow that Justin&#146;s chin casts on his neck.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/07-bieber-neck.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-733\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/07-bieber-neck.jpg\" alt=\"\" height=\"600\"></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 8: Erase and Add Final Details</h3>\r\nCarefully erase your guidelines. This includes your square gridlines and any facial guidelines you no longer want. A kneaded eraser is useful for this part, as it helps you maneuver around what you want to keep. Add in some final details. These could include a few moles unique to Justin&#146;s face, a few extra strands or highlights in the hair (again, great use for the kneaded eraser!), or just some other features you want to go back and better define. Add as much or as little shading as you want to make you satisfied with your final drawing.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/08-bieber.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-734\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"how to draw Justin Bieber\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/08-bieber.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"455\" height=\"600\"></a></p>\r\nThere you have it, a few simple steps for how to draw Justin Bieber! Remember, even if your finished drawing doesn&#146;t look completely like Justin, including facial characteristics that are unique to him will help with the resemblance. And of course, the more detail and shading you include, the more realistic your drawing of Justin Bieber will look. There&#146;s no set rule as to how much detail to include. It all just depends on what level of realism you are trying to achieve!\r\n<script src=\"//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js\"></script>','How to Draw Justin Bieber','','publish','open','open','','how-to-draw-justin-bieber','','','2014-06-05 05:27:33','2014-06-05 12:27:33','',0,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/?p=165',0,'post','',1),(163,1,'2012-07-24 09:55:39','2012-07-24 16:55:39','<center><iframe src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/ehYHsGCYSH0?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\"></iframe></center>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/dreamstime_xs_25047892.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-161\" title=\"Drawn from reference photo © Branislav Ostojic | Dreamstime.com\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/dreamstime_xs_25047892-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" /></a>Shoes can be quite tricky to draw, especially if you consider yourself a beginner.

Feet and toes take time to learn…just keep practicing until you have a satisfying composition of shoes and feet!','How to Draw Feet Wearing Wedge High Heels','','inherit','open','open','','129-revision-v1','','','2012-07-24 09:55:39','2012-07-24 16:55:39','',129,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/129-revision-22/',0,'revision','',0),(162,1,'2012-07-24 09:01:00','2012-07-24 16:01:00','<center><iframe src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/ehYHsGCYSH0?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\"></iframe></center>\r\n\r\nShoes can be quite tricky to draw, especially if you consider yourself a beginner. The good news is, there are a wide variety of shoes that exist for us to choose from. So I thought, what better way to begin learning how to draw shoes than to learn something simple? With that said, here is a lesson for drawing wedge high heel shoes. In case you are up for more of a challenge, the feet do come included!  \r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-grid.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-141\" title=\"drawing wedge high heels grid\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-grid-300x216.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"216\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 1: Make a Grid</h3>\r\nMake a grid of 6 squares to use as guidelines. The size isn’t important, but use a ruler to construct your squares properly. This is an optional step, but it can also be a helpful one if you are drawing along with me and want to make your feet and shoes look as close to mine as possible. Grids are really useful for proper placement of your lines.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-shapes.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-144\" title=\"drawing wedge high heels shapes\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-shapes-189x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"189\" height=\"300\" /></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 2: Draw the Basic Shapes</h3>\r\nIn this drawing, I am focusing on the two center grid squares. Lightly draw basic shapes for the legs and feet. Use long oval shapes for the legs. Notice how the lines overlap? Even though the right leg is in front, we can still see the outlines of the left leg. This is a good thing, because it helps us to properly place the features that are not obstructed. We will go back later to erase lines that should be hidden. Use wedge shapes for the feet and toes. Use smaller oval shapes or circular shapes for the heel and ankles.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-shoes.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-146\" title=\"drawing wedge high heels shoes\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-shoes-176x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"176\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 3: Shape the Shoes</h3>\r\nBegin making a wedge shape for the wedge shoes. Since these are wedge high heels that we are drawing, they should be taller in the back. Show a little bit of curvature as they come up to the front.\r\n<h3> </h3>\r\n<h3> </h3>\r\n<h3> </h3>\r\n<h3> </h3>\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-legs.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-142\" title=\"drawing wedge high heels legs\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-legs-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" /></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 4: Define the Legs and Feet</h3>\r\nUse the shapes to add more defining lines of detail to the legs and feet. Your shapes from earlier are to serve simply as guidelines; don’t feel like you have to draw over them exactly. Notice here that I decided to draw to the right of my guideline, so the curve from the calf muscle would look more slender and natural. Also notice that I didn’t trace those lines of the left leg that are hidden behind the right leg in the foreground. Add in a line or two for the ankle, and do your best to indicate the toes, using your wedge shapes to help you.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-shoe-details.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-145\" title=\"drawing wedge high heels shoe details\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-shoe-details-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" /></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 5: Draw the Base of the Shoes</h3>\r\nDraw thin lines on the top and bottom of each shoe to represent the outer soles and insoles. There is a barely noticeable heel on the bottom of the shoe. Also, notice the space between the foot and the insole.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-straps.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-147\" title=\"drawing wedge high heels straps\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-straps-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" /></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 6: Add the Straps</h3>\r\nAdd the straps for the heel, toes, and ankles. You should draw the heel strap overlapping the insole a bit, and then erase the part the strap conceals. You can add a buckle and a few holes to the ankle strap.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-shade-lines.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-143\" title=\"drawing wedge high heels shade lines\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-shade-lines-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" /></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 7: Plan Your Shading</h3>\r\nMake guidelines to help you place some shading. This way you can plan your light source, draw where the shadows should be, and make any changes needed before committing a lot of shading.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-details.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-140\" title=\"drawing wedge high heels details\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-details-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" /></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 8: Add Final Details</h3>\r\nFinish up shading and add final details. Add in shading by using your guidelines from the last step. Consider which areas need to be darker, like just under the foot where it meets the insole and where the front leg casts a shadow on the leg behind it. Also notice a little shading progression on the front part of the shoes to indicate the curves.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/wedge-high-heels-finished.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-139\" title=\"wedge high heels finished\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/wedge-high-heels-finished-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" /></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 9: Erase the Guidelines</h3>\r\nCarefully erase your guidelines. This includes your square gridlines, any shape guidelines you didn’t need (like under the calf), and any that should be hidden from view (like the left leg behind the right). You’ll have to work around the lines you want to keep.\r\n\r\nAnd that is how you draw a pair of feet wearing wedge high heel shoes! Try practicing this with a different style of wedge shoe next time. This is also good practice for getting better at drawing feet, because you are drawing the shoes that conform to the basic shape of the foot and you are not drawing the feet in isolation.

Noticing these characteristics and including them in your drawing will help you to create a closer, more accurate likeness. In this tutorial, we will use this reference photo to learn how to draw Justin Bieber. Justin is a very popular star, and his face is known all over the world. I will point out some key characteristics of Justin&#146;s facial features along the way that will help us get a likeness that is close to his. So here we go&#133; watch the video above, read the steps below, and try your hand at it too!\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_852\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"320\"]<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Justin-Bieber-arrives.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-852    \" title=\"Justin Bieber arrives\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Justin-Bieber-arrives.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"480\"></a> <strong> &copy; <a href=\"http://www.dreamstime.com/carrienelson1_info\">Carrienelson1</a> | <a href=\"http://www.dreamstime.com/\">Dreamstime.com</a></strong>[/caption]\r\n<h3>Step 1: Make a Grid and Guidelines</h3>\r\nMake a grid of 3 squares by 5 squares. As you follow along with me, try to draw as accurately as possible what you see in each square to keep things in proportion. Next, draw some basic guidelines for the face. Our reference photo is a recent picture of the Biebs, so since he is growing older, our &#147;oval&#148; shape will reflect a longer and more narrow face than when Justin was a younger child. Also, notice the lightly-drawn guidelines that will serve as rough placement for the center of the face, eyes, nose, and mouth.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/01-bieber-grid.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-727\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/01-bieber-grid.jpg\" height=\"600\"></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Step 2: Draw the Eyes</h3>\r\nNotice in the previous step I said &#147;rough placement&#148;. Guidelines are meant to give you general guidance, but you don&#146;t have to be tied to them. So, rather than drawing the eyes directly on the guideline, I drew them just below the line, with the eyebrows above the guideline. Justin has noticeable eyelashes, so I didn&#146;t leave those out of the drawing. In addition, there is a tiny bit of foreshortening present since Justin&#146;s head is slightly turned. Therefore, I decided to leave one eye looking a little smaller than the other.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/02-bieber-eyes.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-728\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/02-bieber-eyes.jpg\" height=\"600\"></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 3: Make Justin&#146;s Nose</h3>\r\nOur reference photo shows a nose with a rather short bridge and round tip. You can almost see the &#147;ball&#148; of cartilage at the bottom. These are distinguishing features to include when drawing Justin Bieber&#146;s nose. A not-so distinguishing feature (since it&#146;s common to just about everyone) is how the outer part of the nostril is practically in line with the inside corner of the eye.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/03-bieber-nose.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-729\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/03-bieber-nose.jpg\" height=\"600\"></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Step 4: Draw His Mouth</h3>\r\nUse a combination of lines and shading to form some of the curves in Justin&#146;s lips. The front teeth that are visible in our photo look very similar in size. Take your time with the teeth. They can be tricky to draw but go a long way with forming a likeness. Also, draw some of the subtle lines outside the corners of Justin&#146;s mouth that form his smile and cheeks.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/04-bieber-mouth.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-730\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/04-bieber-mouth.jpg\" height=\"600\"></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 5: Form the Ears and the Outline of the Face</h3>\r\nOnce again, because of foreshortening, one ear is clearly visible and the other is obstructed by Justin&#146;s face and barely noticeable. Just try to draw the outer part of the lobe that can be seen. Be sure to draw the earrings that Justin likes to sport too. Notice as well the characteristic lines that connect the cheeks to the chin.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/05-bieber-ears.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-731\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/05-bieber-ears.jpg\" height=\"600\"></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 6: Draw Justin&#146;s Hair</h3>\r\nOkay, so far we are doing good, but it looks like we have a bald Biebs. What would a drawing of Justin Bieber be without all of that hair? He&#146;s got a lot of it that sits thick above the top of his skull. You are going to have to pay attention to how the hair is styled in different directions, and just &#147;go with the flow&#148;.&nbsp; Draw lines that go in the direction of the hair growth. Use the reference photo to assist you. You can see how he has a lot of strands curving upward from the hairline. Use combinations of dark against light as shown here to build volume. Draw a few hairs that are loose and hang away from the mass.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/06-bieber-hair.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-732\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/06-bieber-hair.jpg\" height=\"600\"></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 7: Draw the Neck and Jacket</h3>\r\nThere&#146;s not too much to this part. We notice Justin wearing a t-shirt and jacket with a chain around his neck. We don&#146;t see the whole chain, since it hangs down out of our view. Do draw a bit of a shadow that Justin&#146;s chin casts on his neck.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/07-bieber-neck.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-733\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/07-bieber-neck.jpg\" height=\"600\"></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 8: Erase and Add Final Details</h3>\r\nCarefully erase your guidelines. This includes your square gridlines and any facial guidelines you no longer want. A kneaded eraser is useful for this part, as it helps you maneuver around what you want to keep. Add in some final details. These could include a few moles unique to Justin&#146;s face, a few extra strands or highlights in the hair (again, great use for the kneaded eraser!), or just some other features you want to go back and better define. Add as much or as little shading as you want to make you satisfied with your final drawing.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/08-bieber.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-734\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"how to draw Justin Bieber\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/08-bieber.jpg\" width=\"455\" height=\"600\"></a></p>\r\nThere you have it, a few simple steps for how to draw Justin Bieber! Remember, even if your finished drawing doesn&#146;t look completely like Justin, including facial characteristics that are unique to him will help with the resemblance. And of course, the more detail and shading you include, the more realistic your drawing of Justin Bieber will look. There&#146;s no set rule as to how much detail to include. It all just depends on what level of realism you are trying to achieve!\r\n<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js\"></script>','How to Draw Justin Bieber','','inherit','open','open','','165-revision-v1','','','2013-08-20 07:56:19','2013-08-20 14:56:19','',165,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/165-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(169,1,'2012-07-28 22:52:08','2012-07-29 05:52:08','<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/dreamstime_xs_25283976.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-166\" title=\"(c) Carrienelson1 | Dreamstime.com\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/dreamstime_xs_25283976-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" /></a>When making a drawing of celebrities (or anyone else, for that matter), it’s helpful to look for characteristics in their features that stand out or make them unique. Noticing these characteristics and including them in your drawing will help you to create a closer, more accurate likeness. In this tutorial, we will use this reference photo to learn how to draw Justin Bieber. Justin is a very popular star, and his face is known all over the world. I will point out some key characteristics of Justin’s facial features along the way that will help us get a likeness that is close to his. So here we go… watch the video above, read the steps below, and try your hand at it too!\n\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/01-bieber-grid.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-167\" title=\"01 bieber grid\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/01-bieber-grid-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" /></a>Step 1: Make a Grid and Guidelines\n\nMake a grid of 3 squares by 5 squares. As you follow along with me, try to draw as accurately as possible what you see in each square to keep things in proportion. Next, draw some basic guidelines for the face. Our reference photo is a recent picture of the Biebs, so since he is growing older, our “oval” shape will reflect a longer and more narrow face than when Justin was a younger child. Also, notice the lightly-drawn guidelines that will serve as rough placement for the center of the face, eyes, nose, and mouth.\n\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/02-bieber-eyes.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-168\" title=\"02 bieber eyes\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/02-bieber-eyes-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>\n\nStep 2: Draw the Eyes\n\nNotice in the previous step I said “rough placement”. Guidelines are meant to give you general guidance, but you don’t have to be tied to them. So, rather than drawing the eyes directly on the guideline, I drew them just below the line, with the eyebrows above the guideline. Justin has noticeable eyelashes, so I didn’t leave those out of the drawing. In addition, there is a tiny bit of foreshortening present since Justin’s head is slightly turned. Therefore, I decided to leave one eye looking a little smaller than the other.\n\nStep 3: Make Justin’s Nose\n\nOur reference photo shows a nose with a rather short bridge and round tip. You can almost see the “ball” of cartilage at the bottom. These are distinguishing features to include when drawing Justin Bieber’s nose. A not-so distinguishing feature (since it’s common to just about everyone) is how the outer part of the nostril is practically in line with the inside corner of the eye.\n\nStep 4: Draw His Mouth\n\nUse a combination of lines and shading to form some of the curves in Justin’s lips. The front teeth that are visible in our photo look very similar in size. Take your time with the teeth. They can be tricky to draw but go a long way with forming a likeness. Also, draw some of the subtle lines outside the corners of Justin’s mouth that form his smile and cheeks.\n\nStep 5: Form the Ears and the Outline of the Face\n\nOnce again, because of foreshortening, one ear is clearly visible and the other is obstructed by Justin’s face and barely noticeable. Just try to draw the outer part of the lobe that can be seen. Be sure to draw the earrings that Justin likes to sport too. Notice as well the characteristic lines that connect the cheeks to the chin.\n\nStep 6: Draw Justin’s Hair\n\nOkay, so far we are doing good, but it looks like we have a bald Biebs. What would a drawing of Justin Bieber be without all of that hair? He’s got a lot of it that sits thick above the top of his skull. You are going to have to pay attention to how the hair is styled in different directions, and just “go with the flow”.  Draw lines that go in the direction of the hair growth. Use the reference photo to assist you. You can see how he has a lot of strands curving upward from the hairline. Use combinations of dark against light as shown here to build volume. Draw a few hairs that are loose and hang away from the mass.\n\nStep 7: Draw the Neck and Jacket\n\nThere’s not too much to this part. We notice Justin wearing a t-shirt and jacket with a chain around his neck. We don’t see the whole chain, since it hangs down out of our view. Do draw a bit of a shadow that Justin’s chin casts on his neck.\n\nStep 8: Erase and Add Final Details\n\nCarefully erase your guidelines. This includes your square gridlines and any facial guidelines you no longer want. A kneaded eraser is useful for this part, as it helps you maneuver around what you want to keep. Add in some final details. These could include a few moles unique to Justin’s face, a few extra strands or highlights in the hair (again, great use for the kneaded eraser!), or just some other features you want to go back and better define. Add as much or as little shading as you want to make you satisfied with your final drawing.\n\nThere you have it, a few simple steps for how to draw Justin Bieber! Remember, even if your finished drawing doesn’t look completely like Justin, including facial characteristics that are unique to him will help with the resemblance. And of course, the more detail and shading you include, the more realistic your drawing of Justin Bieber will look. There’s no set rule as to how much detail to include.

It all just depends on what level of realism you are trying to achieve!','How to Draw Justin Bieber','','inherit','open','open','','165-revision-v1','','','2012-07-28 22:53:09','2012-07-29 05:53:09','',165,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/165-revision-3/',0,'revision','',0),(173,1,'2012-07-28 23:02:27','2012-07-29 06:02:27','<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/dreamstime_xs_25283976.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-166\" title=\"(c) Carrienelson1 | Dreamstime.com\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/dreamstime_xs_25283976-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" /></a>When making a drawing of celebrities (or anyone else, for that matter), it’s helpful to look for characteristics in their features that stand out or make them unique. Noticing these characteristics and including them in your drawing will help you to create a closer, more accurate likeness. In this tutorial, we will use this reference photo to learn how to draw Justin Bieber. Justin is a very popular star, and his face is known all over the world. I will point out some key characteristics of Justin’s facial features along the way that will help us get a likeness that is close to his. So here we go… watch the video above, read the steps below, and try your hand at it too!\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/01-bieber-grid.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-167\" title=\"01 bieber grid\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/01-bieber-grid-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" /></a>Step 1: Make a Grid and Guidelines</p>\r\nMake a grid of 3 squares by 5 squares. As you follow along with me, try to draw as accurately as possible what you see in each square to keep things in proportion. Next, draw some basic guidelines for the face. Our reference photo is a recent picture of the Biebs, so since he is growing older, our “oval” shape will reflect a longer and more narrow face than when Justin was a younger child. Also, notice the lightly-drawn guidelines that will serve as rough placement for the center of the face, eyes, nose, and mouth.\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<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/02-bieber-eyes.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-168\" title=\"02 bieber eyes\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/02-bieber-eyes-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>Step 2: Draw the Eyes\r\n\r\nNotice in the previous step I said “rough placement”. Guidelines are meant to give you general guidance, but you don’t have to be tied to them. So, rather than drawing the eyes directly on the guideline, I drew them just below the line, with the eyebrows above the guideline. Justin has noticeable eyelashes, so I didn’t leave those out of the drawing. In addition, there is a tiny bit of foreshortening present since Justin’s head is slightly turned. Therefore, I decided to leave one eye looking a little smaller than the other.\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\nStep 3: Make Justin’s Nose\r\n\r\nOur reference photo shows a nose with a rather short bridge and round tip. You can almost see the “ball” of cartilage at the bottom. These are distinguishing features to include when drawing Justin Bieber’s nose. A not-so distinguishing feature (since it’s common to just about everyone) is how the outer part of the nostril is practically in line with the inside corner of the eye.\r\n\r\nStep 4: Draw His Mouth\r\n\r\nUse a combination of lines and shading to form some of the curves in Justin’s lips. The front teeth that are visible in our photo look very similar in size. Take your time with the teeth. They can be tricky to draw but go a long way with forming a likeness. Also, draw some of the subtle lines outside the corners of Justin’s mouth that form his smile and cheeks.\r\n\r\nStep 5: Form the Ears and the Outline of the Face\r\n\r\nOnce again, because of foreshortening, one ear is clearly visible and the other is obstructed by Justin’s face and barely noticeable. Just try to draw the outer part of the lobe that can be seen. Be sure to draw the earrings that Justin likes to sport too. Notice as well the characteristic lines that connect the cheeks to the chin.\r\n\r\nStep 6: Draw Justin’s Hair\r\n\r\nOkay, so far we are doing good, but it looks like we have a bald Biebs. What would a drawing of Justin Bieber be without all of that hair? He’s got a lot of it that sits thick above the top of his skull. You are going to have to pay attention to how the hair is styled in different directions, and just “go with the flow”.  Draw lines that go in the direction of the hair growth. Use the reference photo to assist you. You can see how he has a lot of strands curving upward from the hairline. Use combinations of dark against light as shown here to build volume. Draw a few hairs that are loose and hang away from the mass.\r\n\r\nStep 7: Draw the Neck and Jacket\r\n\r\nThere’s not too much to this part. We notice Justin wearing a t-shirt and jacket with a chain around his neck. We don’t see the whole chain, since it hangs down out of our view. Do draw a bit of a shadow that Justin’s chin casts on his neck.\r\n\r\nStep 8: Erase and Add Final Details\r\n\r\nCarefully erase your guidelines. This includes your square gridlines and any facial guidelines you no longer want. A kneaded eraser is useful for this part, as it helps you maneuver around what you want to keep. Add in some final details. These could include a few moles unique to Justin’s face, a few extra strands or highlights in the hair (again, great use for the kneaded eraser!), or just some other features you want to go back and better define. Add as much or as little shading as you want to make you satisfied with your final drawing.\r\n\r\nThere you have it, a few simple steps for how to draw Justin Bieber! Remember, even if your finished drawing doesn’t look completely like Justin, including facial characteristics that are unique to him will help with the resemblance.

Noticing these characteristics and including them in your drawing will help you to create a closer, more accurate likeness. In this tutorial, we will use this reference photo to learn how to draw Justin Bieber. Justin is a very popular star, and his face is known all over the world. I will point out some key characteristics of Justin’s facial features along the way that will help us get a likeness that is close to his. So here we go… watch the video above, read the steps below, and try your hand at it too!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Step 1: Make a Grid and Guidelines</p>\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/01-bieber-grid.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-167\" title=\"01 bieber grid\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/01-bieber-grid-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" /></a>Make a grid of 3 squares by 5 squares.

Our reference photo is a recent picture of the Biebs, so since he is growing older, our “oval” shape will reflect a longer and more narrow face than when Justin was a younger child. Also, notice the lightly-drawn guidelines that will serve as rough placement for the center of the face, eyes, nose, and mouth.\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\nStep 2: Draw the Eyes\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/02-bieber-eyes.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-168\" title=\"02 bieber eyes\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/02-bieber-eyes-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>Notice in the previous step I said “rough placement”.

You can almost see the “ball” of cartilage at the bottom. These are distinguishing features to include when drawing Justin Bieber’s nose. A not-so distinguishing feature (since it’s common to just about everyone) is how the outer part of the nostril is practically in line with the inside corner of the eye.\r\n\r\nStep 4: Draw His Mouth\r\n\r\nUse a combination of lines and shading to form some of the curves in Justin’s lips. The front teeth that are visible in our photo look very similar in size. Take your time with the teeth. They can be tricky to draw but go a long way with forming a likeness. Also, draw some of the subtle lines outside the corners of Justin’s mouth that form his smile and cheeks.\r\n\r\nStep 5: Form the Ears and the Outline of the Face\r\n\r\nOnce again, because of foreshortening, one ear is clearly visible and the other is obstructed by Justin’s face and barely noticeable. Just try to draw the outer part of the lobe that can be seen. Be sure to draw the earrings that Justin likes to sport too. Notice as well the characteristic lines that connect the cheeks to the chin.\r\n\r\nStep 6: Draw Justin’s Hair\r\n\r\nOkay, so far we are doing good, but it looks like we have a bald Biebs. What would a drawing of Justin Bieber be without all of that hair? He’s got a lot of it that sits thick above the top of his skull. You are going to have to pay attention to how the hair is styled in different directions, and just “go with the flow”.  Draw lines that go in the direction of the hair growth. Use the reference photo to assist you. You can see how he has a lot of strands curving upward from the hairline. Use combinations of dark against light as shown here to build volume. Draw a few hairs that are loose and hang away from the mass.\r\n\r\nStep 7: Draw the Neck and Jacket\r\n\r\nThere’s not too much to this part. We notice Justin wearing a t-shirt and jacket with a chain around his neck. We don’t see the whole chain, since it hangs down out of our view. Do draw a bit of a shadow that Justin’s chin casts on his neck.\r\n\r\nStep 8: Erase and Add Final Details\r\n\r\nCarefully erase your guidelines. This includes your square gridlines and any facial guidelines you no longer want. A kneaded eraser is useful for this part, as it helps you maneuver around what you want to keep. Add in some final details. These could include a few moles unique to Justin’s face, a few extra strands or highlights in the hair (again, great use for the kneaded eraser!), or just some other features you want to go back and better define. Add as much or as little shading as you want to make you satisfied with your final drawing.\r\n\r\nThere you have it, a few simple steps for how to draw Justin Bieber!

Noticing these characteristics and including them in your drawing will help you to create a closer, more accurate likeness. In this tutorial, we will use this reference photo to learn how to draw Justin Bieber. Justin is a very popular star, and his face is known all over the world. I will point out some key characteristics of Justin’s facial features along the way that will help us get a likeness that is close to his. So here we go… watch the video above, read the steps below, and try your hand at it too!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nStep 1: Make a Grid and Guidelines\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/01-bieber-grid.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft  wp-image-167\" title=\"01 bieber grid\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/01-bieber-grid-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" /></a>Make a grid of 3 squares by 5 squares. As you follow along with me, try to draw as accurately as possible what you see in each square to keep things in proportion. Next, draw some basic guidelines for the face. Our reference photo is a recent picture of the Biebs, so since he is growing older, our “oval” shape will reflect a longer and more narrow face than when Justin was a younger child. Also, notice the lightly-drawn guidelines that will serve as rough placement for the center of the face, eyes, nose, and mouth.\r\n\r\nStep 2: Draw the Eyes\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/02-bieber-eyes.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-168\" title=\"02 bieber eyes\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/02-bieber-eyes-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>Notice in the previous step I said “rough placement”. Guidelines are meant to give you general guidance, but you don’t have to be tied to them. So, rather than drawing the eyes directly on the guideline, I drew them just below the line, with the eyebrows above the guideline. Justin has noticeable eyelashes, so I didn’t leave those out of the drawing. In addition, there is a tiny bit of foreshortening present since Justin’s head is slightly turned. Therefore, I decided to leave one eye looking a little smaller than the other.\r\n\r\nStep 3: Make Justin’s Nose\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/03-bieber-nose.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-175\" title=\"03 bieber nose\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/03-bieber-nose-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>Our reference photo shows a nose with a rather short bridge and round tip. You can almost see the “ball” of cartilage at the bottom. These are distinguishing features to include when drawing Justin Bieber’s nose. A not-so distinguishing feature (since it’s common to just about everyone) is how the outer part of the nostril is practically in line with the inside corner of the eye.\r\n\r\nStep 4: Draw His Mouth\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/04-bieber-mouth.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-177\" title=\"04 bieber mouth\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/04-bieber-mouth-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>Use a combination of lines and shading to form some of the curves in Justin’s lips.

So here we go… watch the video above, read the steps below, and try your hand at it too!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nS<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/01-bieber-grid.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft  wp-image-167\" title=\"01 bieber grid\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/01-bieber-grid-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" /></a>tep 1: Make a Grid and Guidelines\r\n\r\nMake a grid of 3 squares by 5 squares. As you follow along with me, try to draw as accurately as possible what you see in each square to keep things in proportion. Next, draw some basic guidelines for the face. Our reference photo is a recent picture of the Biebs, so since he is growing older, our “oval” shape will reflect a longer and more narrow face than when Justin was a younger child. Also, notice the lightly-drawn guidelines that will serve as rough placement for the center of the face, eyes, nose, and mouth.\r\n\r\nStep 2: Draw the Eyes\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/02-bieber-eyes.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-168\" title=\"02 bieber eyes\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/02-bieber-eyes-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>Notice in the previous step I said “rough placement”. Guidelines are meant to give you general guidance, but you don’t have to be tied to them. So, rather than drawing the eyes directly on the guideline, I drew them just below the line, with the eyebrows above the guideline. Justin has noticeable eyelashes, so I didn’t leave those out of the drawing. In addition, there is a tiny bit of foreshortening present since Justin’s head is slightly turned. Therefore, I decided to leave one eye looking a little smaller than the other.\r\n\r\nStep 3: Make Justin’s Nose\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/03-bieber-nose.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-175\" title=\"03 bieber nose\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/03-bieber-nose-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>Our reference photo shows a nose with a rather short bridge and round tip. You can almost see the “ball” of cartilage at the bottom. These are distinguishing features to include when drawing Justin Bieber’s nose. A not-so distinguishing feature (since it’s common to just about everyone) is how the outer part of the nostril is practically in line with the inside corner of the eye.\r\n\r\nStep 4: Draw His Mouth\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/04-bieber-mouth.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-177\" title=\"04 bieber mouth\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/04-bieber-mouth-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>Use a combination of lines and shading to form some of the curves in Justin’s lips. The front teeth that are visible in our photo look very similar in size. Take your time with the teeth. They can be tricky to draw but go a long way with forming a likeness. Also, draw some of the subtle lines outside the corners of Justin’s mouth that form his smile and cheeks.\r\n\r\nStep 5: Form the Ears and the Outline of the Face\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/05-bieber-ears.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-180\" title=\"05 bieber ears\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/05-bieber-ears-229x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"229\" height=\"300\" /></a>Once again, because of foreshortening, one ear is clearly visible and the other is obstructed by Justin’s face and barely noticeable. Just try to draw the outer part of the lobe that can be seen. Be sure to draw the earrings that Justin likes to sport too. Notice as well the characteristic lines that connect the cheeks to the chin.\r\n\r\nStep 6: Draw Justin’s Hair\r\n\r\nOkay, so far we are doing good, but it looks like we have a bald Biebs. What would a drawing of Justin Bieber be without all of that hair? He’s got a lot of it that sits thick above the top of his skull. You are going to have to pay attention to how the hair is styled in different directions, and just “go with the flow”.  Draw lines that go in the direction of the hair growth. Use the reference photo to assist you. You can see how he has a lot of strands curving upward from the hairline. Use combinations of dark against light as shown here to build volume. Draw a few hairs that are loose and hang away from the mass.\r\n\r\nStep 7: Draw the Neck and Jacket\r\n\r\nThere’s not too much to this part. We notice Justin wearing a t-shirt and jacket with a chain around his neck. We don’t see the whole chain, since it hangs down out of our view. Do draw a bit of a shadow that Justin’s chin casts on his neck.\r\n\r\nStep 8: Erase and Add Final Details\r\n\r\nCarefully erase your guidelines. This includes your square gridlines and any facial guidelines you no longer want. A kneaded eraser is useful for this part, as it helps you maneuver around what you want to keep. Add in some final details. These could include a few moles unique to Justin’s face, a few extra strands or highlights in the hair (again, great use for the kneaded eraser!), or just some other features you want to go back and better define. Add as much or as little shading as you want to make you satisfied with your final drawing.\r\n\r\nThere you have it, a few simple steps for how to draw Justin Bieber! Remember, even if your finished drawing doesn’t look completely like Justin, including facial characteristics that are unique to him will help with the resemblance. And of course, the more detail and shading you include, the more realistic your drawing of Justin Bieber will look. There’s no set rule as to how much detail to include.

Noticing these characteristics and including them in your drawing will help you to create a closer, more accurate likeness. In this tutorial, we will use this reference photo to learn how to draw Justin Bieber. Justin is a very popular star, and his face is known all over the world. I will point out some key characteristics of Justin’s facial features along the way that will help us get a likeness that is close to his. So here we go… watch the video above, read the steps below, and try your hand at it too!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nS<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/01-bieber-grid.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft  wp-image-167\" title=\"01 bieber grid\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/01-bieber-grid-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" /></a>tep 1: Make a Grid and Guidelines\r\n\r\nMake a grid of 3 squares by 5 squares. As you follow along with me, try to draw as accurately as possible what you see in each square to keep things in proportion. Next, draw some basic guidelines for the face. Our reference photo is a recent picture of the Biebs, so since he is growing older, our “oval” shape will reflect a longer and more narrow face than when Justin was a younger child. Also, notice the lightly-drawn guidelines that will serve as rough placement for the center of the face, eyes, nose, and mouth.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/02-bieber-eyes.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-168\" title=\"02 bieber eyes\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/02-bieber-eyes-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>Step 2: Draw the Eyes\r\n\r\nNotice in the previous step I said “rough placement”. Guidelines are meant to give you general guidance, but you don’t have to be tied to them. So, rather than drawing the eyes directly on the guideline, I drew them just below the line, with the eyebrows above the guideline. Justin has noticeable eyelashes, so I didn’t leave those out of the drawing. In addition, there is a tiny bit of foreshortening present since Justin’s head is slightly turned. Therefore, I decided to leave one eye looking a little smaller than the other.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/03-bieber-nose.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-175\" title=\"03 bieber nose\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/03-bieber-nose-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>Step 3: Make Justin’s Nose\r\n\r\nOur reference photo shows a nose with a rather short bridge and round tip. You can almost see the “ball” of cartilage at the bottom. These are distinguishing features to include when drawing Justin Bieber’s nose. A not-so distinguishing feature (since it’s common to just about everyone) is how the outer part of the nostril is practically in line with the inside corner of the eye.\r\n\r\nStep 4: Draw His Mouth\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/04-bieber-mouth.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-177\" title=\"04 bieber mouth\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/04-bieber-mouth-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>Use a combination of lines and shading to form some of the curves in Justin’s lips. The front teeth that are visible in our photo look very similar in size. Take your time with the teeth. They can be tricky to draw but go a long way with forming a likeness. Also, draw some of the subtle lines outside the corners of Justin’s mouth that form his smile and cheeks.\r\n\r\nStep 5: Form the Ears and the Outline of the Face\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/05-bieber-ears.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-180\" title=\"05 bieber ears\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/05-bieber-ears-229x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"229\" height=\"300\" /></a>Once again, because of foreshortening, one ear is clearly visible and the other is obstructed by Justin’s face and barely noticeable. Just try to draw the outer part of the lobe that can be seen. Be sure to draw the earrings that Justin likes to sport too. Notice as well the characteristic lines that connect the cheeks to the chin.\r\n\r\nStep 6: Draw Justin’s Hair\r\n\r\nOkay, so far we are doing good, but it looks like we have a bald Biebs. What would a drawing of Justin Bieber be without all of that hair? He’s got a lot of it that sits thick above the top of his skull. You are going to have to pay attention to how the hair is styled in different directions, and just “go with the flow”.  Draw lines that go in the direction of the hair growth. Use the reference photo to assist you. You can see how he has a lot of strands curving upward from the hairline. Use combinations of dark against light as shown here to build volume.

Also, notice the lightly-drawn guidelines that will serve as rough placement for the center of the face, eyes, nose, and mouth.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/01-bieber-grid.jpg\"><img class=\"size-large wp-image-167 aligncenter\" title=\"01 bieber grid\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/01-bieber-grid-773x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"773\" height=\"1024\" /></a>\r\n\r\nStep 2: Draw the Eyes\r\n\r\nNotice in the previous step I said “rough placement”. Guidelines are meant to give you general guidance, but you don’t have to be tied to them. So, rather than drawing the eyes directly on the guideline, I drew them just below the line, with the eyebrows above the guideline. Justin has noticeable eyelashes, so I didn’t leave those out of the drawing. In addition, there is a tiny bit of foreshortening present since Justin’s head is slightly turned. Therefore, I decided to leave one eye looking a little smaller than the other.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/02-bieber-eyes1.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-192 aligncenter\" title=\"02 bieber eyes\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/02-bieber-eyes1-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\nStep 3: Make Justin’s Nose\r\n\r\nOur reference photo shows a nose with a rather short bridge and round tip. You can almost see the “ball” of cartilage at the bottom. These are distinguishing features to include when drawing Justin Bieber’s nose. A not-so distinguishing feature (since it’s common to just about everyone) is how the outer part of the nostril is practically in line with the inside corner of the eye.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/03-bieber-nose.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-175 aligncenter\" title=\"03 bieber nose\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/03-bieber-nose-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\nStep 4: Draw His Mouth\r\n\r\nUse a combination of lines and shading to form some of the curves in Justin’s lips. The front teeth that are visible in our photo look very similar in size. Take your time with the teeth. They can be tricky to draw but go a long way with forming a likeness. Also, draw some of the subtle lines outside the corners of Justin’s mouth that form his smile and cheeks.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/04-bieber-mouth.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-177 aligncenter\" title=\"04 bieber mouth\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/04-bieber-mouth-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\nStep 5: Form the Ears and the Outline of the Face\r\n\r\nOnce again, because of foreshortening, one ear is clearly visible and the other is obstructed by Justin’s face and barely noticeable. Just try to draw the outer part of the lobe that can be seen. Be sure to draw the earrings that Justin likes to sport too. Notice as well the characteristic lines that connect the cheeks to the chin.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/05-bieber-ears.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-180 aligncenter\" title=\"05 bieber ears\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/05-bieber-ears-229x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"229\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\nStep 6: Draw Justin’s Hair\r\n\r\nOkay, so far we are doing good, but it looks like we have a bald Biebs. What would a drawing of Justin Bieber be without all of that hair? He’s got a lot of it that sits thick above the top of his skull. You are going to have to pay attention to how the hair is styled in different directions, and just “go with the flow”.  Draw lines that go in the direction of the hair growth. Use the reference photo to assist you. You can see how he has a lot of strands curving upward from the hairline. Use combinations of dark against light as shown here to build volume. Draw a few hairs that are loose and hang away from the mass.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/06-bieber-hair.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-193 aligncenter\" title=\"06 bieber hair\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/06-bieber-hair-229x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"229\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\nStep 7: Draw the Neck and Jacket\r\n\r\nThere’s not too much to this part. We notice Justin wearing a t-shirt and jacket with a chain around his neck. We don’t see the whole chain, since it hangs down out of our view. Do draw a bit of a shadow that Justin’s chin casts on his neck.\r\n\r\nStep 8: Erase and Add Final Details\r\n\r\nCarefully erase your guidelines. This includes your square gridlines and any facial guidelines you no longer want. A kneaded eraser is useful for this part, as it helps you maneuver around what you want to keep. Add in some final details. These could include a few moles unique to Justin’s face, a few extra strands or highlights in the hair (again, great use for the kneaded eraser!), or just some other features you want to go back and better define. Add as much or as little shading as you want to make you satisfied with your final drawing.\r\n\r\nThere you have it, a few simple steps for how to draw Justin Bieber! Remember, even if your finished drawing doesn’t look completely like Justin, including facial characteristics that are unique to him will help with the resemblance. And of course, the more detail and shading you include, the more realistic your drawing of Justin Bieber will look. There’s no set rule as to how much detail to include. It all just depends on what level of realism you are trying to achieve!','How to Draw Justin Bieber','','inherit','open','open','','165-revision-v1','','','2012-07-28 23:50:28','2012-07-29 06:50:28','',165,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/165-revision-22/',0,'revision','',0),(199,1,'2012-07-28 23:56:20','2012-07-29 06:56:20','When making a drawing of celebrities (or anyone else, for that matter), it’s helpful to look for characteristics in their features that stand out or make them unique.

A not-so distinguishing feature (since it’s common to just about everyone) is how the outer part of the nostril is practically in line with the inside corner of the eye.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/03-bieber-nose.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-175 aligncenter\" title=\"03 bieber nose\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/03-bieber-nose-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 4: Draw His Mouth</h3>\r\nUse a combination of lines and shading to form some of the curves in Justin’s lips. The front teeth that are visible in our photo look very similar in size. Take your time with the teeth. They can be tricky to draw but go a long way with forming a likeness. Also, draw some of the subtle lines outside the corners of Justin’s mouth that form his smile and cheeks.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/04-bieber-mouth.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-177 aligncenter\" title=\"04 bieber mouth\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/04-bieber-mouth-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 5: Form the Ears and the Outline of the Face</h3>\r\nOnce again, because of foreshortening, one ear is clearly visible and the other is obstructed by Justin’s face and barely noticeable. Just try to draw the outer part of the lobe that can be seen. Be sure to draw the earrings that Justin likes to sport too. Notice as well the characteristic lines that connect the cheeks to the chin.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/05-bieber-ears.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-180 aligncenter\" title=\"05 bieber ears\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/05-bieber-ears-229x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"229\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 6: Draw Justin’s Hair</h3>\r\nOkay, so far we are doing good, but it looks like we have a bald Biebs. What would a drawing of Justin Bieber be without all of that hair? He’s got a lot of it that sits thick above the top of his skull. You are going to have to pay attention to how the hair is styled in different directions, and just “go with the flow”.  Draw lines that go in the direction of the hair growth. Use the reference photo to assist you. You can see how he has a lot of strands curving upward from the hairline. Use combinations of dark against light as shown here to build volume. Draw a few hairs that are loose and hang away from the mass.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/06-bieber-hair.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-193 aligncenter\" title=\"06 bieber hair\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/06-bieber-hair-229x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"229\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 7: Draw the Neck and Jacket</h3>\r\nThere’s not too much to this part. We notice Justin wearing a t-shirt and jacket with a chain around his neck. We don’t see the whole chain, since it hangs down out of our view. Do draw a bit of a shadow that Justin’s chin casts on his neck.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/07-bieber-neck.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-196\" title=\"07 bieber neck\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/07-bieber-neck-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 8: Erase and Add Final Details</h3>\r\nCarefully erase your guidelines. This includes your square gridlines and any facial guidelines you no longer want. A kneaded eraser is useful for this part, as it helps you maneuver around what you want to keep. Add in some final details. These could include a few moles unique to Justin’s face, a few extra strands or highlights in the hair (again, great use for the kneaded eraser!), or just some other features you want to go back and better define. Add as much or as little shading as you want to make you satisfied with your final drawing.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/08-bieber.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-197\" title=\"08 bieber\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/08-bieber-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\nThere you have it, a few simple steps for how to draw Justin Bieber! Remember, even if your finished drawing doesn’t look completely like Justin, including facial characteristics that are unique to him will help with the resemblance. And of course, the more detail and shading you include, the more realistic your drawing of Justin Bieber will look. There’s no set rule as to how much detail to include. It all just depends on what level of realism you are trying to achieve!','How to Draw Justin Bieber','','inherit','open','open','','165-revision-v1','','','2012-07-29 00:02:11','2012-07-29 07:02:11','',165,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/165-revision-24/',0,'revision','',0),(202,1,'2012-07-29 00:07:35','2012-07-29 07:07:35','When making a drawing of celebrities (or anyone else, for that matter), it’s helpful to look for characteristics in their features that stand out or make them unique. Noticing these characteristics and including them in your drawing will help you to create a closer, more accurate likeness. In this tutorial, we will use this reference photo to learn how to draw Justin Bieber. Justin is a very popular star, and his face is known all over the world. I will point out some key characteristics of Justin’s facial features along the way that will help us get a likeness that is close to his. So here we go… watch the video above, read the steps below, and try your hand at it too!\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/dreamstime_xs_25283976.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-166 aligncenter\" title=\"(c) Carrienelson1 | Dreamstime.com\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/dreamstime_xs_25283976-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 1: Make a Grid and Guidelines</h3>\r\nMake a grid of 3 squares by 5 squares. As you follow along with me, try to draw as accurately as possible what you see in each square to keep things in proportion. Next, draw some basic guidelines for the face. Our reference photo is a recent picture of the Biebs, so since he is growing older, our “oval” shape will reflect a longer and more narrow face than when Justin was a younger child. Also, notice the lightly-drawn guidelines that will serve as rough placement for the center of the face, eyes, nose, and mouth.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/01-bieber-grid.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-167 aligncenter\" title=\"01 bieber grid\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/01-bieber-grid-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 2: Draw the Eyes</h3>\r\nNotice in the previous step I said “rough placement”. Guidelines are meant to give you general guidance, but you don’t have to be tied to them. So, rather than drawing the eyes directly on the guideline, I drew them just below the line, with the eyebrows above the guideline. Justin has noticeable eyelashes, so I didn’t leave those out of the drawing. In addition, there is a tiny bit of foreshortening present since Justin’s head is slightly turned. Therefore, I decided to leave one eye looking a little smaller than the other.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/02-bieber-eyes1.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-192 aligncenter\" title=\"02 bieber eyes\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/02-bieber-eyes1-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 3: Make Justin’s Nose</h3>\r\nOur reference photo shows a nose with a rather short bridge and round tip.

Also, draw some of the subtle lines outside the corners of Justin’s mouth that form his smile and cheeks.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/04-bieber-mouth.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-177 aligncenter\" title=\"04 bieber mouth\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/04-bieber-mouth-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 5: Form the Ears and the Outline of the Face</h3>\r\nOnce again, because of foreshortening, one ear is clearly visible and the other is obstructed by Justin’s face and barely noticeable. Just try to draw the outer part of the lobe that can be seen. Be sure to draw the earrings that Justin likes to sport too. Notice as well the characteristic lines that connect the cheeks to the chin.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/05-bieber-ears.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-180 aligncenter\" title=\"05 bieber ears\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/05-bieber-ears-229x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"229\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 6: Draw Justin’s Hair</h3>\r\nOkay, so far we are doing good, but it looks like we have a bald Biebs. What would a drawing of Justin Bieber be without all of that hair? He’s got a lot of it that sits thick above the top of his skull. You are going to have to pay attention to how the hair is styled in different directions, and just “go with the flow”.  Draw lines that go in the direction of the hair growth. Use the reference photo to assist you. You can see how he has a lot of strands curving upward from the hairline. Use combinations of dark against light as shown here to build volume. Draw a few hairs that are loose and hang away from the mass.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/06-bieber-hair.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-193 aligncenter\" title=\"06 bieber hair\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/06-bieber-hair-229x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"229\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 7: Draw the Neck and Jacket</h3>\r\nThere’s not too much to this part. We notice Justin wearing a t-shirt and jacket with a chain around his neck. We don’t see the whole chain, since it hangs down out of our view. Do draw a bit of a shadow that Justin’s chin casts on his neck.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/07-bieber-neck.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-196\" title=\"07 bieber neck\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/07-bieber-neck-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 8: Erase and Add Final Details</h3>\r\nCarefully erase your guidelines. This includes your square gridlines and any facial guidelines you no longer want. A kneaded eraser is useful for this part, as it helps you maneuver around what you want to keep. Add in some final details. These could include a few moles unique to Justin’s face, a few extra strands or highlights in the hair (again, great use for the kneaded eraser!), or just some other features you want to go back and better define. Add as much or as little shading as you want to make you satisfied with your final drawing.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/bieber.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-203\" title=\"bieber\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/bieber-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\nThere you have it, a few simple steps for how to draw Justin Bieber! Remember, even if your finished drawing doesn’t look completely like Justin, including facial characteristics that are unique to him will help with the resemblance. And of course, the more detail and shading you include, the more realistic your drawing of Justin Bieber will look. There’s no set rule as to how much detail to include. It all just depends on what level of realism you are trying to achieve!','How to Draw Justin Bieber','','inherit','open','open','','165-revision-v1','','','2012-07-29 15:17:53','2012-07-29 22:17:53','',165,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/165-revision-27/',0,'revision','',0),(729,2,'2013-08-05 19:44:15','2013-08-06 02:44:15','','03 bieber nose','','inherit','open','open','','03-bieber-nose','','','2013-08-05 19:44:15','2013-08-06 02:44:15','',165,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/03-bieber-nose.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(207,1,'2012-07-29 15:43:23','2012-07-29 22:43:23','When making a drawing of celebrities (or anyone else, for that matter), it’s helpful to look for characteristics in their features that stand out or make them unique. Noticing these characteristics and including them in your drawing will help you to create a closer, more accurate likeness. In this tutorial, we will use this reference photo to learn how to draw Justin Bieber. Justin is a very popular star, and his face is known all over the world. I will point out some key characteristics of Justin’s facial features along the way that will help us get a likeness that is close to his. So here we go… watch the video above, read the steps below, and try your hand at it too!\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/dreamstime_xs_25283976.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-166 aligncenter\" title=\"(c) Carrienelson1 | Dreamstime.com\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/dreamstime_xs_25283976-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 1: Make a Grid and Guidelines</h3>\r\nMake a grid of 3 squares by 5 squares. As you follow along with me, try to draw as accurately as possible what you see in each square to keep things in proportion. Next, draw some basic guidelines for the face. Our reference photo is a recent picture of the Biebs, so since he is growing older, our “oval” shape will reflect a longer and more narrow face than when Justin was a younger child. Also, notice the lightly-drawn guidelines that will serve as rough placement for the center of the face, eyes, nose, and mouth.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/01-bieber-grid.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-167 aligncenter\" title=\"01 bieber grid\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/01-bieber-grid-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 2: Draw the Eyes</h3>\r\nNotice in the previous step I said “rough placement”. Guidelines are meant to give you general guidance, but you don’t have to be tied to them. So, rather than drawing the eyes directly on the guideline, I drew them just below the line, with the eyebrows above the guideline. Justin has noticeable eyelashes, so I didn’t leave those out of the drawing. In addition, there is a tiny bit of foreshortening present since Justin’s head is slightly turned. Therefore, I decided to leave one eye looking a little smaller than the other.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/02-bieber-eyes1.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-192 aligncenter\" title=\"02 bieber eyes\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/02-bieber-eyes1-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 3: Make Justin’s Nose</h3>\r\nOur reference photo shows a nose with a rather short bridge and round tip. You can almost see the “ball” of cartilage at the bottom. These are distinguishing features to include when drawing Justin Bieber’s nose. A not-so distinguishing feature (since it’s common to just about everyone) is how the outer part of the nostril is practically in line with the inside corner of the eye.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/03-bieber-nose.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-175 aligncenter\" title=\"03 bieber nose\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/03-bieber-nose-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 4: Draw His Mouth</h3>\r\nUse a combination of lines and shading to form some of the curves in Justin’s lips.

Also, draw some of the subtle lines outside the corners of Justin’s mouth that form his smile and cheeks.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/04-bieber-mouth.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-177 aligncenter\" title=\"04 bieber mouth\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/04-bieber-mouth-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 5: Form the Ears and the Outline of the Face</h3>\r\nOnce again, because of foreshortening, one ear is clearly visible and the other is obstructed by Justin’s face and barely noticeable. Just try to draw the outer part of the lobe that can be seen. Be sure to draw the earrings that Justin likes to sport too. Notice as well the characteristic lines that connect the cheeks to the chin.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/05-bieber-ears.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-180 aligncenter\" title=\"05 bieber ears\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/05-bieber-ears-229x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"229\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 6: Draw Justin’s Hair</h3>\r\nOkay, so far we are doing good, but it looks like we have a bald Biebs. What would a drawing of Justin Bieber be without all of that hair? He’s got a lot of it that sits thick above the top of his skull. You are going to have to pay attention to how the hair is styled in different directions, and just “go with the flow”.  Draw lines that go in the direction of the hair growth. Use the reference photo to assist you. You can see how he has a lot of strands curving upward from the hairline. Use combinations of dark against light as shown here to build volume. Draw a few hairs that are loose and hang away from the mass.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/06-bieber-hair.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-193 aligncenter\" title=\"06 bieber hair\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/06-bieber-hair-229x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"229\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 7: Draw the Neck and Jacket</h3>\r\nThere’s not too much to this part. We notice Justin wearing a t-shirt and jacket with a chain around his neck. We don’t see the whole chain, since it hangs down out of our view. Do draw a bit of a shadow that Justin’s chin casts on his neck.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/07-bieber-neck.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-196\" title=\"07 bieber neck\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/07-bieber-neck-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 8: Erase and Add Final Details</h3>\r\nCarefully erase your guidelines. This includes your square gridlines and any facial guidelines you no longer want. A kneaded eraser is useful for this part, as it helps you maneuver around what you want to keep. Add in some final details. These could include a few moles unique to Justin’s face, a few extra strands or highlights in the hair (again, great use for the kneaded eraser!), or just some other features you want to go back and better define. Add as much or as little shading as you want to make you satisfied with your final drawing.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/bieber-white-bg-test.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-206\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"bieber white bg test\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/bieber-white-bg-test-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a></p>\r\nThere you have it, a few simple steps for how to draw Justin Bieber! Remember, even if your finished drawing doesn’t look completely like Justin, including facial characteristics that are unique to him will help with the resemblance. And of course, the more detail and shading you include, the more realistic your drawing of Justin Bieber will look. There’s no set rule as to how much detail to include.

Noticing these characteristics and including them in your drawing will help you to create a closer, more accurate likeness. In this tutorial, we will use this reference photo to learn how to draw Justin Bieber. Justin is a very popular star, and his face is known all over the world. I will point out some key characteristics of Justin’s facial features along the way that will help us get a likeness that is close to his. So here we go… watch the video above, read the steps below, and try your hand at it too!\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/dreamstime_xs_25283976.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-166 aligncenter\" title=\"(c) Carrienelson1 | Dreamstime.com\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/dreamstime_xs_25283976-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 1: Make a Grid and Guidelines</h3>\r\nMake a grid of 3 squares by 5 squares. As you follow along with me, try to draw as accurately as possible what you see in each square to keep things in proportion. Next, draw some basic guidelines for the face. Our reference photo is a recent picture of the Biebs, so since he is growing older, our “oval” shape will reflect a longer and more narrow face than when Justin was a younger child. Also, notice the lightly-drawn guidelines that will serve as rough placement for the center of the face, eyes, nose, and mouth.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/01-bieber-grid.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-167 aligncenter\" title=\"01 bieber grid\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/01-bieber-grid-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 2: Draw the Eyes</h3>\r\nNotice in the previous step I said “rough placement”. Guidelines are meant to give you general guidance, but you don’t have to be tied to them. So, rather than drawing the eyes directly on the guideline, I drew them just below the line, with the eyebrows above the guideline. Justin has noticeable eyelashes, so I didn’t leave those out of the drawing. In addition, there is a tiny bit of foreshortening present since Justin’s head is slightly turned. Therefore, I decided to leave one eye looking a little smaller than the other.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/02-bieber-eyes1.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-192 aligncenter\" title=\"02 bieber eyes\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/02-bieber-eyes1-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 3: Make Justin’s Nose</h3>\r\nOur reference photo shows a nose with a rather short bridge and round tip. You can almost see the “ball” of cartilage at the bottom. These are distinguishing features to include when drawing Justin Bieber’s nose. A not-so distinguishing feature (since it’s common to just about everyone) is how the outer part of the nostril is practically in line with the inside corner of the eye.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/03-bieber-nose.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-175 aligncenter\" title=\"03 bieber nose\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/03-bieber-nose-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 4: Draw His Mouth</h3>\r\nUse a combination of lines and shading to form some of the curves in Justin’s lips.

Maybe you just draw stick people. Maybe you think that you &#147;can&#146;t&#148; draw at all.\r\n\r\nBy the way, if the last statement applies to you, stop thinking that way right now and start thinking you &#147;CAN&#148;!\r\n\r\nAnyway, regardless of what you can already do, there are some things to consider when learning how to draw people. Thinking about these things and learning them will be sure to help you.\r\n<h2>Types of People Drawing</h2>\r\nFirst of all, people are rendered in different types of drawings. You should put some thought into which one of these you prefer and put the effort into learning that particular type of drawing.\r\n<h3>Cartoon People</h3>\r\nYou may want to learn how to draw <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/category/cartoons/\">cartoon people</a>. This is a great way to start out and practice if you are a beginner. More importantly, it&#146;s a great way to have fun with drawing people!\r\n\r\nYou can really let yourself loose and not stress about something not &#147;looking&#148; right. You can get creative and make up your own characters.\r\n\r\nI had a wild imagination as a child and I did this all the time, creating comic book characters and fictional cartoon TV shows. On that note, as you practice and build your confidence, you may find yourself wanting to draw people from popular cartoons on TV.\r\n<h3>Caricatures</h3>\r\nHave you ever seen that artist on the sidewalk, drawing a happy couple who is posing for him, undisturbed at the onlookers walking by? If you were one of those onlookers and saw the drawing, you may have seen a &#147;cartoon&#148; with an unmistakable resemblance to the couple.\r\n\r\nYou were looking at a caricature drawing. This may be enough to motivate you to learn how to draw caricatures. These can be a lot of fun but at the same time a little challenging. Even though you are drawing what appears to be a cartoon with exaggerated features, you have to take great care to still capture an accurate likeness.\r\n\r\nYou have probably seen caricatures of famous celebrities and politicians on TV and in the newspaper. If you want to learn how to draw caricatures, trying to do so with public figures can be excellent practice.\r\n<h3>Realistic People</h3>\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/nirma.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-73\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"nirma\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/nirma-221x300.jpg\" width=\"221\" height=\"300\"></a>Some artists like to make detailed, realistic drawings of people. They want their drawings to look as close as possible to someone who is believable and real. These are my personal favorite!\r\n\r\nThere are two main ways that I like to classify realistic drawings of people: portrait drawings and character studies.\r\n\r\nA portrait drawing is a drawing of a person or people who are posing and looking directly back at you. A character study is a drawing of a person or people who are going about their daily lives, each exhibiting a particular mood or personality for us to assess.\r\n\r\nOne great way to learn how to draw people realistically is to practice on family members, friends, and <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/category/celebrities/\">celebrities</a>. The important thing about realistic drawing is attention to detail and capturing enough realism to make the person you are drawing easy for others to recognize.\r\n<h2>Drawing Styles</h2>\r\nWhether it be ability level or personal preference, artists create their work using different styles. You may want to experiment with these and pick one as your primary style, or you may wish to openly practice and explore multiple styles as you see fit, not limiting yourself to just one.\r\n<ul><li>Line drawing -&nbsp;This is a very basic drawing with just a simple outline of the major shapes of the person. There is usually little detail in a line drawing.</li>\r\n	<li>Sketch drawing - This can be simple or a little more complex. I really enjoy sketching people! It involves having a very loose wrist and not being constrained with the pressure of making mistakes, often keeping beginning guidelines in the final product. Sketches sometimes include tones as well as lines.</li>\r\n	<li>Detailed drawing -&nbsp;This can be (what started out as) a simple line drawing with a lot more detail added. It can also be a combination of a line and sketch drawing. The bottom line is lots of details.</li>\r\n	<li>Realistic drawing - A detailed drawing of a person (as described above) can still look realistic. But for the purposes of this description, I&#146;m talking about taking things to the next level. This usually means blended shading and the tiniest of details that you&#146;d never find on a basic drawing.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nRemember, you are the artist! There is no &#147;wrong way&#148; to express yourself, so have fun experimenting with these styles!\r\n<h2>What You Need to Learn</h2>\r\nRegardless of the type of &#147;people drawing&#148; you most want to pursue or your personal drawing style, there are some basic fundamentals you will have to learn.\r\n\r\nOne thing you will need to grasp a basic understanding of is proportion. There are certain ways we size different body parts and different facial features, and there are methods we use to determine how much they should be spaced apart. This is most important in realistic drawing, but having knowledge of proportions is not totally useless with cartoons and caricatures.\r\n\r\nThere is so much to learn about drawing faces. The human face has so many unique and distinguishing <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/category/features/\">features</a>: eyes, nose, mouth, ears, hair. Each of these features has its own characteristics that we need to consider. For example, the eye consists of the pupil, iris, eyelids, and eyebrow, just to name a few.\r\n\r\nThese facial features work together in interesting ways to form a variety of expressions. So in order to draw people, you have to form the facial features in a way that conveys emotions such as happiness, sadness, anger, excitement, and so on.\r\n\r\nBut drawing people is not limited to just drawing the face. You also need to learn how to draw hands, which are always doing and helping people express themselves. <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/category/clothes/\">Clothes</a>, of course, are important as well. Maybe you want to draw someone in a recognizable uniform, such as a nurse or a police officer.\r\n<h2>What&#146;s the First Step?</h2>\r\nThis just touches the surface of what is involved in learning how to draw people. I recommend reading through this article again and deciding which aspects of drawing people you wish to improve.\r\n\r\nLearn all you can by reading other related articles, studying artwork, and watching how other artists draw the parts that are tricky for you. Then&#133;\r\n\r\n<strong>PRACTICE!! PRACTICE!! PRACTICE!!</strong>\r\n\r\nDraw along with them. Do as they do. Then apply the skills you have learned to independently draw another person, using your own style and creativity.\r\n\r\nPractice drawing people you know. Draw from photos, pictures from magazines or the Internet. Draw from other drawings. Draw from your head, using the prior knowledge you have learned about how to draw a person.\r\n\r\nThe main thing is to keep practicing and don&#146;t get discouraged! If you are not happy with your results, go back and learn from another artist again before practicing some more.\r\n\r\nIt is my hope that I can be one of those artists you can learn from. I hope you find the information, art, and videos throughout this website useful, and I hope you will keep me in mind as a resource to return to whenever you need additional help with drawing people!\r\n\r\nGood luck and happy drawing!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','What Is Involved in Learning How to Draw People?','','inherit','open','open','','66-revision-v1','','','2012-12-27 23:53:17','2012-12-28 07:53:17','',66,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/66-revision-20/',0,'revision','',0),(232,1,'2012-07-19 18:09:43','2012-07-20 01:09:43','<center><iframe width=\"480\" height=\"360\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/ITxn22RLuV8?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe></center>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/030596.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-74\" title=\"030596\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/030596-232x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"232\" height=\"300\"></a>Maybe you can already draw people okay, but you want to improve your skills.

For many people, the nose seems to be a major sticking point. If you want to know how to draw noses better, just read the following tips!\r\n<h3>Placement</h3>\r\nAlthough noses do come in many shapes and sizes, they all have the same placement on the face. They are generally one eye-width wide and come down to halfway between the eyebrows and chin.\r\n<h3>Projection</h3>\r\nYou should study examples of different noses to see how they project from the face. Some noses seem to curve inward from between the eyes before the bridge comes out, and others can jut out quite prominently from the face.\r\n<h3>Bridge</h3>\r\nWhen drawing the bridge of the nose, be careful not to use solid lines on both sides. Your nose will look more cartoonish. Now if that is what you’re going for, then it’s fine. For a less cartoon-like nose, think of the bridge as three surfaces: the front with two sides sloping down to the face. I usually will note the light source and maybe put a very light, broken line on the lit side. On the other side, some light shading with short, slanted zig-zag lines works.\r\n<h3>Tip</h3>\r\nThink of the tip and bottom part of the nose as 3 little spheres. Just as with the bridge, think “light lines” when representing the tip.\r\n<h3>Nostrils</h3>\r\nDon’t forget to draw the little piece of cartilage below the tip that separates the nostrils. If you focus on drawing the surrounding skin and not the holes themselves, the nostrils will take care of themselves.\r\n\r\nSo, I know these are all common-knowledge facts about noses, but they are little things people sometimes forget to think about when drawing them. The next time you draw a nose, keep these tips in mind that apply to all noses, but also draw the unique characteristics of each part of the nose that will give individuality!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','Tips for How to Draw Noses','','inherit','open','open','','77-revision-v1','','','2012-07-19 18:12:57','2012-07-20 01:12:57','',77,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/77-revision-10/',0,'revision','',0),(234,1,'2012-07-19 18:55:43','2012-07-20 01:55:43','<center><iframe src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/CgfuB38izSc?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\"></iframe></center>Okay Everybody, here is a quick tutorial for how to draw a simple nose. It is a very generic nose looking straight ahead.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/nose01.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-93\" style=\"border: brown 5px solid;\" title=\"nose01\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/nose01-260x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"260\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>Step 1: Sketch the Basic Shapes</h3>\r\nThink about each of the major parts of the nose as a shape. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Lightly</span> draw these shapes to serve as your guidelines. Draw a long, narrow oval for the bridge and a circle at the bottom for the tip, overlapping the oval. You can draw two half-circles (or overlapping circles) for the nostrils. I often think of the nostrils as “parentheses” when I draw them!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/nose02.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-88 alignleft\" style=\"border: brown 5px solid;\" title=\"nose02\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/nose02-267x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"267\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>Step 2: Define the Bridge</h3>\r\nRemember to think of the bridge of the nose as three surfaces. You are going to define the two sides by drawing two light lines down the oval, and the front should take care of itself. The lines should curve away from each other at the top. Decide where the light is coming from. For this drawing, I decided it is coming from the right. Sketch some heavier shading on the left side and some very light shading on the right.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/nose041.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-90 alignleft\" style=\"border: brown 5px solid;\" title=\"nose03\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/nose041-260x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"260\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>Step 3: Form the Nostrils</h3>\r\nStart forming the nostrils by darkening up your (parentheses) guidelines. I usually don’t make perfectly formed parentheses, because the nostrils tend to flatten out at the bottom where they meet with the face. Start drawing along the bottom part of your circle to begin the nasal passages. You have to remember that that circle represents a ball of cartilage, and there is a little cartilage between the nasal passages too.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/nose03.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft  wp-image-89\" style=\"border: brown 5px solid;\" title=\"nose04\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/nose03-248x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"248\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>Step 4: Finish the Tip and Touch Up</h3>\r\nSo for the tip of the nose, I added a little shading to round out the ball and the top of the nostrils. Then I erased most of my guidelines; you know, those shapes we began with. Since this is a sketch, I sometimes like to leave a few guidelines and stray marks in. It can add to your artwork.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSo there you have it…the basics for drawing a basic nose! Remember, noses come in many shapes and sizes, just as all facial features do. Still though, you can apply these basic techniques to fit any type of nose you want to draw!

Noticing these characteristics and including them in your drawing will help you to create a closer, more accurate likeness. In this tutorial, we will use this reference photo to learn how to draw Justin Bieber. Justin is a very popular star, and his face is known all over the world. I will point out some key characteristics of Justin’s facial features along the way that will help us get a likeness that is close to his. So here we go… watch the video above, read the steps below, and try your hand at it too!\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/dreamstime_xs_25283976.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-166 aligncenter\" title=\"(c) Carrienelson1 | Dreamstime.com\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/dreamstime_xs_25283976-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 1: Make a Grid and Guidelines</h3>\r\nMake a grid of 3 squares by 5 squares. As you follow along with me, try to draw as accurately as possible what you see in each square to keep things in proportion. Next, draw some basic guidelines for the face. Our reference photo is a recent picture of the Biebs, so since he is growing older, our “oval” shape will reflect a longer and more narrow face than when Justin was a younger child. Also, notice the lightly-drawn guidelines that will serve as rough placement for the center of the face, eyes, nose, and mouth.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/01-bieber-grid1.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-215\" title=\"01 bieber grid\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/01-bieber-grid1-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 2: Draw the Eyes</h3>\r\nNotice in the previous step I said “rough placement”. Guidelines are meant to give you general guidance, but you don’t have to be tied to them. So, rather than drawing the eyes directly on the guideline, I drew them just below the line, with the eyebrows above the guideline. Justin has noticeable eyelashes, so I didn’t leave those out of the drawing. In addition, there is a tiny bit of foreshortening present since Justin’s head is slightly turned. Therefore, I decided to leave one eye looking a little smaller than the other.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/02-bieber-eyes.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-216\" title=\"02 bieber eyes\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/02-bieber-eyes-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 3: Make Justin’s Nose</h3>\r\nOur reference photo shows a nose with a rather short bridge and round tip. You can almost see the “ball” of cartilage at the bottom. These are distinguishing features to include when drawing Justin Bieber’s nose. A not-so distinguishing feature (since it’s common to just about everyone) is how the outer part of the nostril is practically in line with the inside corner of the eye.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/03-bieber-nose1.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-218\" title=\"03 bieber nose\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/03-bieber-nose1-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 4: Draw His Mouth</h3>\r\nUse a combination of lines and shading to form some of the curves in Justin’s lips. The front teeth that are visible in our photo look very similar in size. Take your time with the teeth. They can be tricky to draw but go a long way with forming a likeness. Also, draw some of the subtle lines outside the corners of Justin’s mouth that form his smile and cheeks.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/04-bieber-mouth1.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-220\" title=\"04 bieber mouth\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/04-bieber-mouth1-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 5: Form the Ears and the Outline of the Face</h3>\r\nOnce again, because of foreshortening, one ear is clearly visible and the other is obstructed by Justin’s face and barely noticeable. Just try to draw the outer part of the lobe that can be seen. Be sure to draw the earrings that Justin likes to sport too. Notice as well the characteristic lines that connect the cheeks to the chin.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/05-bieber-ears1.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-222\" title=\"05 bieber ears\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/05-bieber-ears1-229x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"229\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 6: Draw Justin’s Hair</h3>\r\nOkay, so far we are doing good, but it looks like we have a bald Biebs. What would a drawing of Justin Bieber be without all of that hair? He’s got a lot of it that sits thick above the top of his skull. You are going to have to pay attention to how the hair is styled in different directions, and just “go with the flow”.  Draw lines that go in the direction of the hair growth. Use the reference photo to assist you. You can see how he has a lot of strands curving upward from the hairline. Use combinations of dark against light as shown here to build volume. Draw a few hairs that are loose and hang away from the mass.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/06-bieber-hair1.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-224\" title=\"06 bieber hair\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/06-bieber-hair1-229x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"229\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 7: Draw the Neck and Jacket</h3>\r\nThere’s not too much to this part. We notice Justin wearing a t-shirt and jacket with a chain around his neck. We don’t see the whole chain, since it hangs down out of our view. Do draw a bit of a shadow that Justin’s chin casts on his neck.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/07-bieber-neck1.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-226\" title=\"07 bieber neck\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/07-bieber-neck1-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 8: Erase and Add Final Details</h3>\r\nCarefully erase your guidelines. This includes your square gridlines and any facial guidelines you no longer want. A kneaded eraser is useful for this part, as it helps you maneuver around what you want to keep. Add in some final details. These could include a few moles unique to Justin’s face, a few extra strands or highlights in the hair (again, great use for the kneaded eraser!), or just some other features you want to go back and better define. Add as much or as little shading as you want to make you satisfied with your final drawing.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/08-bieber1.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-228\" title=\"08 bieber\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/08-bieber1-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\nThere you have it, a few simple steps for how to draw Justin Bieber! Remember, even if your finished drawing doesn’t look completely like Justin, including facial characteristics that are unique to him will help with the resemblance. And of course, the more detail and shading you include, the more realistic your drawing of Justin Bieber will look. There’s no set rule as to how much detail to include.

Noticing these characteristics and including them in your drawing will help you to create a closer, more accurate likeness. In this tutorial, we will use this reference photo to learn how to draw Justin Bieber. Justin is a very popular star, and his face is known all over the world. I will point out some key characteristics of Justin&#146;s facial features along the way that will help us get a likeness that is close to his. So here we go&#133; watch the video above, read the steps below, and try your hand at it too!\r\n<h3></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 1: Make a Grid and Guidelines</h3>\r\nMake a grid of 3 squares by 5 squares. As you follow along with me, try to draw as accurately as possible what you see in each square to keep things in proportion. Next, draw some basic guidelines for the face. Our reference photo is a recent picture of the Biebs, so since he is growing older, our &#147;oval&#148; shape will reflect a longer and more narrow face than when Justin was a younger child. Also, notice the lightly-drawn guidelines that will serve as rough placement for the center of the face, eyes, nose, and mouth.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/01-bieber-grid.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-727\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/01-bieber-grid.jpg\" height=\"600\"></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Step 2: Draw the Eyes</h3>\r\nNotice in the previous step I said &#147;rough placement&#148;. Guidelines are meant to give you general guidance, but you don&#146;t have to be tied to them. So, rather than drawing the eyes directly on the guideline, I drew them just below the line, with the eyebrows above the guideline. Justin has noticeable eyelashes, so I didn&#146;t leave those out of the drawing. In addition, there is a tiny bit of foreshortening present since Justin&#146;s head is slightly turned. Therefore, I decided to leave one eye looking a little smaller than the other.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/02-bieber-eyes.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-728\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/02-bieber-eyes.jpg\" height=\"600\"></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 3: Make Justin&#146;s Nose</h3>\r\nOur reference photo shows a nose with a rather short bridge and round tip.

The good news is, there are a wide variety of shoes that exist for us to choose from. So I thought, what better way to begin learning how to draw shoes than to learn something simple? With that said, here is a lesson for drawing wedge high heel shoes. Here is a reference photo for us to draw. In case you are up for more of a challenge, the feet do come included!\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/dreamstime_xs_25047892.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-161\" alt=\"© Branislav Ostojic | Dreamstime.com\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/dreamstime_xs_25047892.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"480\" /></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 1: Make a Grid</h3>\r\nMake a grid of 6 squares to use as guidelines. The size isn’t important, but use a ruler to construct your squares properly. This is an optional step, but it can also be a helpful one if you are drawing along with me and want to make your feet and shoes look as close to mine as possible. Grids are really useful for proper placement of your lines.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-grid.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-141\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"drawing wedge high heels grid\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-grid.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"432\" /></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 2: Draw the Basic Shapes</h3>\r\nIn this drawing, I am focusing on the two center grid squares. Lightly draw basic shapes for the legs and feet. Use long oval shapes for the legs. Notice how the lines overlap? Even though the right leg is in front, we can still see the outlines of the left leg. This is a good thing, because it helps us to properly place the features that are not obstructed. We will go back later to erase lines that should be hidden. Use wedge shapes for the feet and toes. Use smaller oval shapes or circular shapes for the heel and ankles.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-shapes.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-144\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"drawing wedge high heels shapes\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-shapes.jpg\" width=\"379\" height=\"600\" /></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 3: Shape the Shoes</h3>\r\nBegin making a wedge shape for the wedge shoes. Since these are wedge high heels that we are drawing, they should be taller in the back. Show a little bit of curvature as they come up to the front.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-shoes.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-146\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"drawing wedge high heels shoes\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-shoes.jpg\" width=\"353\" height=\"600\" /></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 4: Define the Legs and Feet</h3>\r\nUse the shapes to add more defining lines of detail to the legs and feet. Your shapes from earlier are to serve simply as guidelines; don’t feel like you have to draw over them exactly. Notice here that I decided to draw to the right of my guideline, so the curve from the calf muscle would look more slender and natural. Also notice that I didn’t trace those lines of the left leg that are hidden behind the right leg in the foreground. Add in a line or two for the ankle, and do your best to indicate the toes, using your wedge shapes to help you.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-legs.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-142\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"drawing wedge high heels legs\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-legs.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 5: Draw the Base of the Shoes</h3>\r\nDraw thin lines on the top and bottom of each shoe to represent the outer soles and insoles. There is a barely noticeable heel on the bottom of the shoe. Also, notice the space between the foot and the insole.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-shoe-details.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-145\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"drawing wedge high heels shoe details\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-shoe-details.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 6: Add the Straps</h3>\r\nAdd the straps for the heel, toes, and ankles. You should draw the heel strap overlapping the insole a bit, and then erase the part the strap conceals. You can add a buckle and a few holes to the ankle strap.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-straps.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-147\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"drawing wedge high heels straps\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-straps.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 7: Plan Your Shading</h3>\r\nMake guidelines to help you place some shading. This way you can plan your light source, draw where the shadows should be, and make any changes needed before committing a lot of shading.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-shade-lines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-143\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"drawing wedge high heels shade lines\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-shade-lines.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 8: Add Final Details</h3>\r\nFinish up shading and add final details. Add in shading by using your guidelines from the last step. Consider which areas need to be darker, like just under the foot where it meets the insole and where the front leg casts a shadow on the leg behind it. Also notice a little shading progression on the front part of the shoes to indicate the curves.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-details.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-140\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"drawing wedge high heels details\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-details.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 9: Erase the Guidelines</h3>\r\nCarefully erase your guidelines. This includes your square gridlines, any shape guidelines you didn’t need (like under the calf), and any that should be hidden from view (like the left leg behind the right). You’ll have to work around the lines you want to keep.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/wedge-high-heels-finished.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-139\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"wedge high heels finished\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/wedge-high-heels-finished.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a></h3>\r\nAnd that is how you draw a pair of feet wearing wedge high heel shoes! Try practicing this with a different style of wedge shoe next time. This is also good practice for getting better at drawing feet, because you are drawing the shoes that conform to the basic shape of the foot and you are not drawing the feet in isolation. Feet and toes take time to learn…just keep practicing until you have a satisfying composition of shoes and feet!','How to Draw Feet Wearing Wedge High Heels','','inherit','open','open','','129-revision-v1','','','2013-05-19 22:05:06','2013-05-20 05:05:06','',129,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/129-revision-32/',0,'revision','',0),(468,1,'2013-05-19 22:06:17','2013-05-20 05:06:17','<center><iframe src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/PjHB_fm1VTA?rel-0\" height=\"360\" width=\"640\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"></iframe></center><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/nose-tips.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-80\" title=\"nose tips\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/nose-tips-300x275.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"275\" /></a>If you have trouble when it comes to drawing noses, you are not alone. For many people, the nose seems to be a major sticking point. If you want to know how to draw noses better, just read the following tips!\r\n<h3>Placement</h3>\r\nAlthough noses do come in many shapes and sizes, they all have the same placement on the face. They are generally one eye-width wide and come down to halfway between the eyebrows and chin.\r\n<h3>Projection</h3>\r\nYou should study examples of different noses to see how they project from the face. Some noses seem to curve inward from between the eyes before the bridge comes out, and others can jut out quite prominently from the face.\r\n<h3>Bridge</h3>\r\nWhen drawing the bridge of the nose, be careful not to use solid lines on both sides. Your nose will look more cartoonish. Now if that is what you’re going for, then it’s fine. For a less cartoon-like nose, think of the bridge as three surfaces: the front with two sides sloping down to the face. I usually will note the light source and maybe put a very light, broken line on the lit side. On the other side, some light shading with short, slanted zig-zag lines works.\r\n<h3>Tip</h3>\r\nThink of the tip and bottom part of the nose as 3 little spheres. Just as with the bridge, think “light lines” when representing the tip.\r\n<h3>Nostrils</h3>\r\nDon’t forget to draw the little piece of cartilage below the tip that separates the nostrils. If you focus on drawing the surrounding skin and not the holes themselves, the nostrils will take care of themselves.\r\n\r\nSo, I know these are all common-knowledge facts about noses, but they are little things people sometimes forget to think about when drawing them. The next time you <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/category/features/noses/\">draw a nose</a>, keep these tips in mind that apply to all noses, but also draw the unique characteristics of each part of the nose that will give individuality!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','Tips for How to Draw Noses','','inherit','open','open','','77-revision-v1','','','2013-05-19 22:06:17','2013-05-20 05:06:17','',77,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/77-revision-18/',0,'revision','',0),(478,1,'2013-06-27 13:24:19','2013-06-27 20:24:19','<h4>Our Mission</h4>\r\nWelcome!

Our aim is for people who don\'t draw everyday to realize their true hidden talents and potential, to begin creating realistic pencil portraits that will amaze themselves and those they know and love.\r\n<h3>HOW WE DO IT</h3>\r\nMaybe you wish to learn how to draw something more advanced than a stick person. You wanted to learn, but life, jobs, and family got in the way and now your kids can draw people better than you. Or, maybe you already have some artistic talent, but you always struggle when it comes to drawing people. You often say, \"Does her face look right to you?\" or \"I can\'t keep from drawing his hand crooked.\"\r\n\r\nWhether you are just starting to draw all over again or if you have some experience, Let\'s Draw People lets you take your skills as an aspiring portrait artist to the next level. Here you will find tips and techniques to help you draw the human face and form in a variety of styles.

Better yet, you may be able to become a <a title=\"Draw for Us\" href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/draw-for-us/\">contributing artist and author</a> for us!\r\n<h3>HOW WE GOT STARTED</h3>\r\nLet\'s Draw People was founded by Jack Pearce, a guy who had a love for drawing ever since he was 3 years old and never really grew out of it. Although he loved drawing everything under the sun, Jack always had a special fascination with drawing people. The more Jack\'s skills developed, the more he wanted to focus on drawing people, especially realistic portraits in pencil (his favorite medium). Growing up, Jack always believed he would make a living as an artist. However, as the realities of adulthood and other interests sat in, the term \"starving artist\" began to have more meaning, and Jack eventually took other jobs and degree programs that lead to a career as a teacher in Nevada.\r\n\r\nJack still occasionally drew portraits for people, and whenever he did, it triggered that childhood passion and desire to draw all the time. He formed Let\'s Draw People as a way to bring together others who have similar experiences, who have that wish of having the freedom to draw all day long as they so innocently did as kids. He formed Let\'s Draw People as a way to bring together portrait artists who want to share their knowledge and artwork, to help others learn, and to motivate each other to carve out more time for their passion for drawing, no matter how much life gets in the way.\r\n<h3>NOW, YOU GET STARTED!</h3>\r\n<a style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\" title=\"Let\'s Draw People\" href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com\">Check back often</a><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\"> to find new articles and videos that will help you to better understand how to draw people!

Noticing these characteristics and including them in your drawing will help you to create a closer, more accurate likeness. In this tutorial, we will use this reference photo to learn how to draw Justin Bieber. Justin is a very popular star, and his face is known all over the world. I will point out some key characteristics of Justin&#146;s facial features along the way that will help us get a likeness that is close to his. So here we go&#133; watch the video above, read the steps below, and try your hand at it too!\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/dreamstime_xs_25283976.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-166\" alt=\"&copy; Carrienelson1 | Dreamstime.com\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/dreamstime_xs_25283976.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"480\"></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 1: Make a Grid and Guidelines</h3>\r\nMake a grid of 3 squares by 5 squares. As you follow along with me, try to draw as accurately as possible what you see in each square to keep things in proportion. Next, draw some basic guidelines for the face. Our reference photo is a recent picture of the Biebs, so since he is growing older, our &#147;oval&#148; shape will reflect a longer and more narrow face than when Justin was a younger child. Also, notice the lightly-drawn guidelines that will serve as rough placement for the center of the face, eyes, nose, and mouth.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/01-bieber-grid.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-214\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"01 bieber grid\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/01-bieber-grid.jpg\" width=\"453\" height=\"600\"></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Step 2: Draw the Eyes</h3>\r\nNotice in the previous step I said &#147;rough placement&#148;. Guidelines are meant to give you general guidance, but you don&#146;t have to be tied to them. So, rather than drawing the eyes directly on the guideline, I drew them just below the line, with the eyebrows above the guideline. Justin has noticeable eyelashes, so I didn&#146;t leave those out of the drawing. In addition, there is a tiny bit of foreshortening present since Justin&#146;s head is slightly turned. Therefore, I decided to leave one eye looking a little smaller than the other.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/02-bieber-eyes.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-216\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"02 bieber eyes\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/02-bieber-eyes.jpg\" width=\"453\" height=\"600\"></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 3: Make Justin&#146;s Nose</h3>\r\nOur reference photo shows a nose with a rather short bridge and round tip. You can almost see the &#147;ball&#148; of cartilage at the bottom. These are distinguishing features to include when drawing Justin Bieber&#146;s nose. A not-so distinguishing feature (since it&#146;s common to just about everyone) is how the outer part of the nostril is practically in line with the inside corner of the eye.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/03-bieber-nose.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-217\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"03 bieber nose\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/03-bieber-nose.jpg\" width=\"453\" height=\"600\"></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Step 4: Draw His Mouth</h3>\r\nUse a combination of lines and shading to form some of the curves in Justin&#146;s lips. The front teeth that are visible in our photo look very similar in size. Take your time with the teeth. They can be tricky to draw but go a long way with forming a likeness. Also, draw some of the subtle lines outside the corners of Justin&#146;s mouth that form his smile and cheeks.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/04-bieber-mouth.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-219\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"04 bieber mouth\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/04-bieber-mouth.jpg\" width=\"453\" height=\"600\"></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 5: Form the Ears and the Outline of the Face</h3>\r\nOnce again, because of foreshortening, one ear is clearly visible and the other is obstructed by Justin&#146;s face and barely noticeable. Just try to draw the outer part of the lobe that can be seen. Be sure to draw the earrings that Justin likes to sport too. Notice as well the characteristic lines that connect the cheeks to the chin.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/05-bieber-ears.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-221\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"05 bieber ears\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/05-bieber-ears.jpg\" width=\"453\" height=\"600\"></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 6: Draw Justin&#146;s Hair</h3>\r\nOkay, so far we are doing good, but it looks like we have a bald Biebs. What would a drawing of Justin Bieber be without all of that hair? He&#146;s got a lot of it that sits thick above the top of his skull. You are going to have to pay attention to how the hair is styled in different directions, and just &#147;go with the flow&#148;.&nbsp; Draw lines that go in the direction of the hair growth. Use the reference photo to assist you. You can see how he has a lot of strands curving upward from the hairline. Use combinations of dark against light as shown here to build volume. Draw a few hairs that are loose and hang away from the mass.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/06-bieber-hair.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-223\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"06 bieber hair\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/06-bieber-hair.jpg\" width=\"453\" height=\"600\"></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 7: Draw the Neck and Jacket</h3>\r\nThere&#146;s not too much to this part. We notice Justin wearing a t-shirt and jacket with a chain around his neck. We don&#146;t see the whole chain, since it hangs down out of our view. Do draw a bit of a shadow that Justin&#146;s chin casts on his neck.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/07-bieber-neck.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-225\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"07 bieber neck\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/07-bieber-neck.jpg\" width=\"453\" height=\"600\"></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 8: Erase and Add Final Details</h3>\r\nCarefully erase your guidelines. This includes your square gridlines and any facial guidelines you no longer want. A kneaded eraser is useful for this part, as it helps you maneuver around what you want to keep. Add in some final details. These could include a few moles unique to Justin&#146;s face, a few extra strands or highlights in the hair (again, great use for the kneaded eraser!), or just some other features you want to go back and better define. Add as much or as little shading as you want to make you satisfied with your final drawing.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/08-bieber.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-227\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"08 bieber\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/08-bieber.jpg\" width=\"453\" height=\"600\"></a></p>\r\nThere you have it, a few simple steps for how to draw Justin Bieber! Remember, even if your finished drawing doesn&#146;t look completely like Justin, including facial characteristics that are unique to him will help with the resemblance. And of course, the more detail and shading you include, the more realistic your drawing of Justin Bieber will look. There&#146;s no set rule as to how much detail to include. It all just depends on what level of realism you are trying to achieve!\r\n<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js\"></script>','How to Draw Justin Bieber','','inherit','open','open','','165-revision-v1','','','2013-05-24 05:55:43','2013-05-24 12:55:43','',165,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/165-revision-52/',0,'revision','',0),(1188,2,'2014-06-13 10:54:22','2014-06-13 17:54:22','','letsdrawpeople jp logo','','inherit','open','open','','letsdrawpeople-jp-logo','','','2014-06-13 10:54:22','2014-06-13 17:54:22','',0,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/letsdrawpeople-jp-logo.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(271,2,'2012-12-25 21:46:27','2012-12-26 05:46:27','<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/picasion.com_eb0158e8f970a015b6e5416909e2abc6.gif\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-280\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/picasion.com_eb0158e8f970a015b6e5416909e2abc6.gif\" alt=\"picasion.com_eb0158e8f970a015b6e5416909e2abc6\" width=\"450\" height=\"343\" /></a></p>\r\nHere we have a drawing of a bride, eyes wide and looking from behind a bouquet. The central focus will be on her eyes and how to draw them. Hopefully after giving this a try, you will learn to include all of the little details that bring the eyes to life. So refer to the reference photo below, as well as my step-by-step drawings, and let’s draw some eyes!\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_863\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"480\"]<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/eyes-of-bride-and-bridal-bouquet.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-863\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/eyes-of-bride-and-bridal-bouquet.jpg\" alt=\" © Pzaxe | Dreamstime.com\" width=\"480\" height=\"320\" /></a> <strong> © <a href=\"http://www.dreamstime.com/pzaxe_info\">Pzaxe</a> | <a href=\"http://www.dreamstime.com/\">Dreamstime.com</a></strong>[/caption]\r\n<h3>Step 1: Make a Grid</h3>\r\nMake a grid of 6 squares across and 3 squares down. They can be any size you choose. Just make sure to use a ruler and make perfect squares if you are hoping for a more accurate drawing of the photograph. If you are good at sketching lines and can make boxes approximately the same size, that will work too for this drawing (since we are not trying to capture a likeness).\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"> <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/01p-bride-eyes-grid.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-698\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/01p-bride-eyes-grid.jpg\" alt=\"01p bride eyes grid\" width=\"600\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Step 2: Outline of the Eyes</h3>\r\nOnce again, if you are using your grid for accuracy, pay close attention to placement. For example, the corner of the bride’s left eye (right side of the drawing) is approximately at the imaginary center line of its grid box (lined up with the arrow). Also, notice how the widths of both eyes are the same, and there is about one eye-width between the two eyes. This is a standard rule of thumb for drawing eyes looking directly at you, no matter who you are drawing! You can also include the tear ducts at this point.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"> <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/02p-bride-eyes-outline.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-709\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/02p-bride-eyes-outline.jpg\" alt=\"02p bride eyes outline\" width=\"600\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Step 3: Upper Eyelids</h3>\r\nDraw a thin line above each eye’s outline to represent the eyelids. Draw lines from the outer corners that will lead to the brows. Draw lines from the inner corners to the upper bridge of the nose.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"> <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/03p-bride-eyes-upper-lids.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-710\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/03p-bride-eyes-upper-lids.jpg\" alt=\"03p bride eyes upper lids\" width=\"600\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Step 4: Irises and Pupils</h3>\r\nUsing your grid and guidelines to help you, lightly sketch circles for the irises and pupils. If necessary, try a few times until you get satisfactory size and placement. Then, trace over them as carefully as you can to make them as round as possible. I like to use a <a title=\"Pickett Template 1204-i Circle Master\" href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/pickett-template-1204-i-circle-master/\">circle template</a> to make this tracing easier and more accurate. Remember, too, to make smaller circles serving as highlights (or catchlights).\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"> <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/04p-bride-eyes-irises-and-pupils.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-702\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/04p-bride-eyes-irises-and-pupils.jpg\" alt=\"04p bride eyes irises and pupils\" width=\"600\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Step 5: Lower Eyelids</h3>\r\nRepeat the same process as you did for the upper eyelids to make the lower lids. Draw a thin line under the white part of the eye. This line is actually for the top rim of the lower eyelids, where we will place the lower eyelashes later. Underneath this, draw any characteristic lines that support the bottom of the eyeballs.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"> <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/05p-bride-eyes-lower-lids.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-703\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/05p-bride-eyes-lower-lids.jpg\" alt=\"05p bride eyes lower lids\" width=\"600\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Step 6: Surrounding Features</h3>\r\nDraw the eyebrows, bouquet, face, ear, hair, veil, and any other features that you want to include. Put as much or as little detail as you wish. You can just use simple shapes, especially for the bouquet. It is okay if some of the drawing extends outside of the grid squares.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"> <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/06p-bride-eyes-surrounding.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-704\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/06p-bride-eyes-surrounding.jpg\" alt=\"06p bride eyes surrounding\" width=\"600\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Step 7: Guidelines for Shading</h3>\r\nDraw light lines where you see shadows. The shading you will add later will provide form to the eyes and surrounding facial features.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"> <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/07p-bride-eyes-shading.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-705\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/07p-bride-eyes-shading.jpg\" alt=\"07p bride eyes shading\" width=\"600\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Step 8: Erase Grid Lines</h3>\r\nCarefully erase the grid lines. Try to erase as much as you can without affecting the lines of the actual drawing. If you can still see some light lines (as indicated by the arrow), it’s not too big of a deal. You can mask them later with shading.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"> <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/08p-bride-eyes-erase.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-706\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/08p-bride-eyes-erase.jpg\" alt=\"08p bride eyes erase\" width=\"600\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Step 9: Shading and Details</h3>\r\nUse the lines you made earlier and the reference photo to add shading. Try to use soft strokes that go in the same direction as the surfaces you are shading.\r\n\r\nFor the eyebrows, I lightly shade what was drawn before, and then I use short pencil lines to represent the individual hairs. Pay attention to direction, and notice how most but not all of the little hairs flow together.\r\n\r\nFor the whites of the eyes, I almost always put a little bit of shading under the upper eyelids and some on each corner to give that spherical look to the eyeballs.\r\n\r\nMake the pupils as dark as you possibly can. For the iris, make the outer rim darker, and draw lines going toward the pupil. Leave the catchlights white by shading around them.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"> <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/09p-bride-eyes-details.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-707\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/09p-bride-eyes-details.jpg\" alt=\"09p bride eyes details\" width=\"600\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Step 10: Eyelashes</h3>\r\nI like to leave the eyelashes as the last step for the eyes. This way, I can have all of my desired shading complete and place the lashes over it, for a more natural appearance.\r\n\r\nCarefully trace part of the upper eyelid in dark black before placing the upper eyelashes. This will give them a certain thickness. Use fine pencil lines from the lids outward for each of the hairs (much like the eyebrows). Pay attention to direction, and make the lower eyelashes shorter.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/10p-bride-eyes-lashes.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-694\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/10p-bride-eyes-lashes.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" /></a></p>\r\nYou may have heard it said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. That is why drawing eyes correctly is so vital for portrait artists. The eyes are a very important (if not the most important) part of capturing a subject’s true likeness.\r\n\r\nApply what you learn from this drawing to other drawings like it that focus mainly on the eyes. Then, when you try to draw a familiar face, you will likely see a better resemblance in your work!','How to Draw Eyes of a

/></a></p>\r\nHere we have a drawing of a bride, eyes wide and looking from behind a bouquet. The central focus will be on her eyes and how to draw them. Hopefully after giving this a try, you will learn to include all of the little details that bring the eyes to life. So refer to the reference photo below, as well as my step-by-step drawings, and let’s draw some eyes!\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/dreamstime_xs_16063419.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-343\" title=\"© Pzaxe | Dreamstime.com\" alt=\"http://www.dreamstime.com/-image16063419\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/dreamstime_xs_16063419.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"320\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Step 1: Make a Grid</h3>\r\nMake a grid of 6 squares across and 3 squares down. They can be any size you choose. Just make sure to use a ruler and make perfect squares if you are hoping for a more accurate drawing of the photograph. If you are good at sketching lines and can make boxes approximately the same size, that will work too for this drawing (since we are not trying to capture a likeness).\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"> <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/01p-bride-eyes-grid.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-698\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"01p bride eyes grid\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/01p-bride-eyes-grid.jpg\" width=\"600\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Step 2: Outline of the Eyes</h3>\r\nOnce again, if you are using your grid for accuracy, pay close attention to placement. For example, the corner of the bride’s left eye (right side of the drawing) is approximately at the imaginary center line of its grid box (lined up with the arrow). Also, notice how the widths of both eyes are the same, and there is about one eye-width between the two eyes. This is a standard rule of thumb for drawing eyes looking directly at you, no matter who you are drawing! You can also include the tear ducts at this point.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"> <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/02p-bride-eyes-outline.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-699\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"02p bride eyes outline\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/02p-bride-eyes-outline.jpg\" width=\"600\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Step 3: Upper Eyelids</h3>\r\nDraw a thin line above each eye’s outline to represent the eyelids. Draw lines from the outer corners that will lead to the brows. Draw lines from the inner corners to the upper bridge of the nose.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"> <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/03p-bride-eyes-upper-lids.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-700\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"03p bride eyes upper lids\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/03p-bride-eyes-upper-lids.jpg\" width=\"600\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Step 4: Irises and Pupils</h3>\r\nUsing your grid and guidelines to help you, lightly sketch circles for the irises and pupils. If necessary, try a few times until you get satisfactory size and placement. Then, trace over them as carefully as you can to make them as round as possible. I like to use a <a title=\"Pickett Template 1204-i Circle Master\" href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/pickett-template-1204-i-circle-master/\">circle template</a> to make this tracing easier and more accurate. Remember, too, to make smaller circles serving as highlights (or catchlights).\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"> <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/04p-bride-eyes-irises-and-pupils.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-336\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"04p bride eyes irises and pupils\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/04p-bride-eyes-irises-and-pupils.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"455\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Step 5: Lower Eyelids</h3>\r\nRepeat the same process as you did for the upper eyelids to make the lower lids. Draw a thin line under the white part of the eye. This line is actually for the top rim of the lower eyelids, where we will place the lower eyelashes later. Underneath this, draw any characteristic lines that support the bottom of the eyeballs.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"> <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/05p-bride-eyes-lower-lids.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-337\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"05p bride eyes lower lids\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/05p-bride-eyes-lower-lids.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"455\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Step 6: Surrounding Features</h3>\r\nDraw the eyebrows, bouquet, face, ear, hair, veil, and any other features that you want to include. Put as much or as little detail as you wish. You can just use simple shapes, especially for the bouquet. It is okay if some of the drawing extends outside of the grid squares.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"> <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/06p-bride-eyes-surrounding.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-338\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"06p bride eyes surrounding\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/06p-bride-eyes-surrounding.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"455\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Step 7: Guidelines for Shading</h3>\r\nDraw light lines where you see shadows. The shading you will add later will provide form to the eyes and surrounding facial features.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"> <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/07p-bride-eyes-shading.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-339\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"07p bride eyes shading\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/07p-bride-eyes-shading.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"455\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Step 8: Erase Grid Lines</h3>\r\nCarefully erase the grid lines. Try to erase as much as you can without affecting the lines of the actual drawing. If you can still see some light lines (as indicated by the arrow), it’s not too big of a deal. You can mask them later with shading.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"> <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/08p-bride-eyes-erase.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-340\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"08p bride eyes erase\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/08p-bride-eyes-erase.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"455\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Step 9: Shading and Details</h3>\r\nUse the lines you made earlier and the reference photo to add shading. Try to use soft strokes that go in the same direction as the surfaces you are shading. For the eyebrows, I lightly shade what was drawn before, and then I use short pencil lines to represent the individual hairs. Pay attention to direction, and notice how most but not all of the little hairs flow together. For the whites of the eyes, I almost always put a little bit of shading under the upper eyelids and some on each corner to give that spherical look to the eyeballs. Make the pupils as dark as you possibly can. For the iris, make the outer rim darker, and draw lines going toward the pupil. Leave the catchlights white by shading around them.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"> <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/09p-bride-eyes-details.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-341\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"09p bride eyes details\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/09p-bride-eyes-details.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"455\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Step 10: Eyelashes</h3>\r\nI like to leave the eyelashes as the last step for the eyes. This way, I can have all of my desired shading complete and place the lashes over it, for a more natural appearance. Carefully trace part of the upper eyelid in dark black before placing the upper eyelashes. This will give them a certain thickness. Use fine pencil lines from the lids outward for each of the hairs (much like the eyebrows). Pay attention to direction, and make the lower eyelashes shorter.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/10p-bride-eyes-lashes.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-694\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/10p-bride-eyes-lashes.jpg\" width=\"600\" /></a></p>\r\nYou may have heard it said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. That is why drawing eyes correctly is so vital for portrait artists. The eyes are a very important (if not the most important) part of capturing a subject’s true likeness. Apply what you learn from this drawing to other drawings like it that focus mainly on the eyes. Then, when you try to draw a familiar face, you will likely see a better resemblance in your work!','How to Draw Eyes of the Bride','','inherit','open','open','','271-revision-v1','','','2013-07-28 16:37:57','2013-07-28 23:37:57','',271,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/271-revision-38/',0,'revision','',0),(296,1,'2012-12-27 13:20:19','2012-12-27 21:20:19','<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/picasion.com_eb0158e8f970a015b6e5416909e2abc6.gif\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-280\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"picasion.com_eb0158e8f970a015b6e5416909e2abc6\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/picasion.com_eb0158e8f970a015b6e5416909e2abc6.gif\" width=\"450\" height=\"343\" /></a></p>\r\nHere is the test.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Click to enlarge\" href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/01p-bride-eyes-grid.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-288\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/01p-bride-eyes-grid-300x227.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"227\" /></a></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Step 2: Eye outlines</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Click to enlarge\" href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/02p-bride-eyes-outline.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-290\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/02p-bride-eyes-outline-300x227.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"227\" /></a></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Click to enlarge\" href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/03p-bride-eyes-upper-lids.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-294\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"03p bride eyes upper lids\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/03p-bride-eyes-upper-lids-300x227.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"227\" /></a></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"></p>','Video Test','','inherit','open','open','','271-revision-v1','','','2012-12-27 13:20:19','2012-12-27 21:20:19','',271,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/271-revision-15/',0,'revision','',0),(295,1,'2012-12-27 13:12:59','2012-12-27 21:12:59','<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/picasion.com_eb0158e8f970a015b6e5416909e2abc6.gif\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-280\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"picasion.com_eb0158e8f970a015b6e5416909e2abc6\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/picasion.com_eb0158e8f970a015b6e5416909e2abc6.gif\" width=\"450\" height=\"343\" /></a></p>\r\nHere is the test.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Click to enlarge\" href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/01p-bride-eyes-grid.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-288\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/01p-bride-eyes-grid-300x227.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"227\" /></a></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Step 2: Eye outlines</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Click to enlarge\" href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/02p-bride-eyes-outline.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-290\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/02p-bride-eyes-outline-300x227.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"227\" /></a></p>','Video Test','','inherit','open','open','','271-revision-v1','','','2012-12-27 13:12:59','2012-12-27 21:12:59','',271,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/271-revision-14/',0,'revision','',0),(297,1,'2012-07-30 09:46:17','2012-07-30 16:46:17','<iframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/kJw_7IeQEZ8?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe>\r\n\r\nWhen making a drawing of celebrities (or anyone else, for that matter), it’s helpful to look for characteristics in their features that stand out or make them unique. Noticing these characteristics and including them in your drawing will help you to create a closer, more accurate likeness. In this tutorial, we will use this reference photo to learn how to draw Justin Bieber. Justin is a very popular star, and his face is known all over the world. I will point out some key characteristics of Justin’s facial features along the way that will help us get a likeness that is close to his. So here we go… watch the video above, read the steps below, and try your hand at it too!\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/dreamstime_xs_25283976.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-166 aligncenter\" title=\"(c) Carrienelson1 | Dreamstime.com\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/dreamstime_xs_25283976-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 1: Make a Grid and Guidelines</h3>\r\nMake a grid of 3 squares by 5 squares. As you follow along with me, try to draw as accurately as possible what you see in each square to keep things in proportion. Next, draw some basic guidelines for the face. Our reference photo is a recent picture of the Biebs, so since he is growing older, our “oval” shape will reflect a longer and more narrow face than when Justin was a younger child. Also, notice the lightly-drawn guidelines that will serve as rough placement for the center of the face, eyes, nose, and mouth.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/01-bieber-grid1.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-215\" title=\"01 bieber grid\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/01-bieber-grid1-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 2: Draw the Eyes</h3>\r\nNotice in the previous step I said “rough placement”. Guidelines are meant to give you general guidance, but you don’t have to be tied to them. So, rather than drawing the eyes directly on the guideline, I drew them just below the line, with the eyebrows above the guideline. Justin has noticeable eyelashes, so I didn’t leave those out of the drawing. In addition, there is a tiny bit of foreshortening present since Justin’s head is slightly turned. Therefore, I decided to leave one eye looking a little smaller than the other.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/02-bieber-eyes.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-216\" title=\"02 bieber eyes\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/02-bieber-eyes-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 3: Make Justin’s Nose</h3>\r\nOur reference photo shows a nose with a rather short bridge and round tip. You can almost see the “ball” of cartilage at the bottom. These are distinguishing features to include when drawing Justin Bieber’s nose. A not-so distinguishing feature (since it’s common to just about everyone) is how the outer part of the nostril is practically in line with the inside corner of the eye.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/03-bieber-nose1.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-218\" title=\"03 bieber nose\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/03-bieber-nose1-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 4: Draw His Mouth</h3>\r\nUse a combination of lines and shading to form some of the curves in Justin’s lips. The front teeth that are visible in our photo look very similar in size. Take your time with the teeth. They can be tricky to draw but go a long way with forming a likeness. Also, draw some of the subtle lines outside the corners of Justin’s mouth that form his smile and cheeks.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/04-bieber-mouth1.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-220\" title=\"04 bieber mouth\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/04-bieber-mouth1-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 5: Form the Ears and the Outline of the Face</h3>\r\nOnce again, because of foreshortening, one ear is clearly visible and the other is obstructed by Justin’s face and barely noticeable. Just try to draw the outer part of the lobe that can be seen. Be sure to draw the earrings that Justin likes to sport too. Notice as well the characteristic lines that connect the cheeks to the chin.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/05-bieber-ears1.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-222\" title=\"05 bieber ears\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/05-bieber-ears1-229x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"229\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 6: Draw Justin’s Hair</h3>\r\nOkay, so far we are doing good, but it looks like we have a bald Biebs. What would a drawing of Justin Bieber be without all of that hair? He’s got a lot of it that sits thick above the top of his skull. You are going to have to pay attention to how the hair is styled in different directions, and just “go with the flow”.  Draw lines that go in the direction of the hair growth. Use the reference photo to assist you. You can see how he has a lot of strands curving upward from the hairline. Use combinations of dark against light as shown here to build volume. Draw a few hairs that are loose and hang away from the mass.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/06-bieber-hair1.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-224\" title=\"06 bieber hair\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/06-bieber-hair1-229x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"229\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 7: Draw the Neck and Jacket</h3>\r\nThere’s not too much to this part. We notice Justin wearing a t-shirt and jacket with a chain around his neck. We don’t see the whole chain, since it hangs down out of our view. Do draw a bit of a shadow that Justin’s chin casts on his neck.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/07-bieber-neck1.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-226\" title=\"07 bieber neck\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/07-bieber-neck1-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 8: Erase and Add Final Details</h3>\r\nCarefully erase your guidelines. This includes your square gridlines and any facial guidelines you no longer want. A kneaded eraser is useful for this part, as it helps you maneuver around what you want to keep. Add in some final details. These could include a few moles unique to Justin’s face, a few extra strands or highlights in the hair (again, great use for the kneaded eraser!), or just some other features you want to go back and better define. Add as much or as little shading as you want to make you satisfied with your final drawing.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/08-bieber1.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-228\" title=\"08 bieber\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/08-bieber1-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n\r\nThere you have it, a few simple steps for how to draw Justin Bieber! Remember, even if your finished drawing doesn’t look completely like Justin, including facial characteristics that are unique to him will help with the resemblance. And of course, the more detail and shading you include, the more realistic your drawing of Justin Bieber will look. There’s no set rule as to how much detail to include. It all just depends on what level of realism you are trying to achieve!','How to Draw Justin Bieber','','inherit','open','open','','165-revision-v1','','','2012-07-30 09:46:17','2012-07-30 16:46:17','',165,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/165-revision-36/',0,'revision','',0),(736,2,'2013-07-21 11:40:55','2013-07-21 18:40:55','<center><iframe src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/kJw_7IeQEZ8?rel=0\" height=\"360\" width=\"640\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"></iframe></center>\r\nWhen making a drawing of celebrities (or anyone else, for that matter), it&#146;s helpful to look for characteristics in their features that stand out or make them unique.

You can almost see the &#147;ball&#148; of cartilage at the bottom. These are distinguishing features to include when drawing Justin Bieber&#146;s nose. A not-so distinguishing feature (since it&#146;s common to just about everyone) is how the outer part of the nostril is practically in line with the inside corner of the eye.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/03-bieber-nose.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-217\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"03 bieber nose\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/03-bieber-nose.jpg\" width=\"453\" height=\"600\"></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Step 4: Draw His Mouth</h3>\r\nUse a combination of lines and shading to form some of the curves in Justin&#146;s lips. The front teeth that are visible in our photo look very similar in size. Take your time with the teeth. They can be tricky to draw but go a long way with forming a likeness. Also, draw some of the subtle lines outside the corners of Justin&#146;s mouth that form his smile and cheeks.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/04-bieber-mouth.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-219\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"04 bieber mouth\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/04-bieber-mouth.jpg\" width=\"453\" height=\"600\"></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 5: Form the Ears and the Outline of the Face</h3>\r\nOnce again, because of foreshortening, one ear is clearly visible and the other is obstructed by Justin&#146;s face and barely noticeable. Just try to draw the outer part of the lobe that can be seen. Be sure to draw the earrings that Justin likes to sport too. Notice as well the characteristic lines that connect the cheeks to the chin.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/05-bieber-ears.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-221\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"05 bieber ears\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/05-bieber-ears.jpg\" width=\"453\" height=\"600\"></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 6: Draw Justin&#146;s Hair</h3>\r\nOkay, so far we are doing good, but it looks like we have a bald Biebs. What would a drawing of Justin Bieber be without all of that hair? He&#146;s got a lot of it that sits thick above the top of his skull. You are going to have to pay attention to how the hair is styled in different directions, and just &#147;go with the flow&#148;.&nbsp; Draw lines that go in the direction of the hair growth. Use the reference photo to assist you. You can see how he has a lot of strands curving upward from the hairline. Use combinations of dark against light as shown here to build volume. Draw a few hairs that are loose and hang away from the mass.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/06-bieber-hair.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-223\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"06 bieber hair\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/06-bieber-hair.jpg\" width=\"453\" height=\"600\"></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 7: Draw the Neck and Jacket</h3>\r\nThere&#146;s not too much to this part. We notice Justin wearing a t-shirt and jacket with a chain around his neck. We don&#146;t see the whole chain, since it hangs down out of our view. Do draw a bit of a shadow that Justin&#146;s chin casts on his neck.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/07-bieber-neck.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-225\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"07 bieber neck\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/07-bieber-neck.jpg\" width=\"453\" height=\"600\"></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 8: Erase and Add Final Details</h3>\r\nCarefully erase your guidelines. This includes your square gridlines and any facial guidelines you no longer want. A kneaded eraser is useful for this part, as it helps you maneuver around what you want to keep. Add in some final details. These could include a few moles unique to Justin&#146;s face, a few extra strands or highlights in the hair (again, great use for the kneaded eraser!), or just some other features you want to go back and better define. Add as much or as little shading as you want to make you satisfied with your final drawing.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/08-bieber.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-227\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"08 bieber\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/08-bieber.jpg\" width=\"453\" height=\"600\"></a></p>\r\nThere you have it, a few simple steps for how to draw Justin Bieber! Remember, even if your finished drawing doesn&#146;t look completely like Justin, including facial characteristics that are unique to him will help with the resemblance. And of course, the more detail and shading you include, the more realistic your drawing of Justin Bieber will look. There&#146;s no set rule as to how much detail to include. It all just depends on what level of realism you are trying to achieve!\r\n<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js\"></script>','How to Draw Justin Bieber','','inherit','open','open','','165-revision-v1','','','2013-07-21 11:40:55','2013-07-21 18:40:55','',165,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/165-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(299,1,'2012-12-27 16:35:25','2012-12-28 00:35:25','<iframe src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/kJw_7IeQEZ8?rel=0\" height=\"360\" width=\"640\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"></iframe>\r\n\r\nWhen making a drawing of celebrities (or anyone else, for that matter), it’s helpful to look for characteristics in their features that stand out or make them unique. Noticing these characteristics and including them in your drawing will help you to create a closer, more accurate likeness. In this tutorial, we will use this reference photo to learn how to draw Justin Bieber. Justin is a very popular star, and his face is known all over the world. I will point out some key characteristics of Justin’s facial features along the way that will help us get a likeness that is close to his. So here we go… watch the video above, read the steps below, and try your hand at it too!\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/dreamstime_xs_25283976.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-166 aligncenter\" title=\"(c) Carrienelson1 | Dreamstime.com\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/dreamstime_xs_25283976-200x300.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 1: Make a Grid and Guidelines</h3>\r\nMake a grid of 3 squares by 5 squares. As you follow along with me, try to draw as accurately as possible what you see in each square to keep things in proportion. Next, draw some basic guidelines for the face. Our reference photo is a recent picture of the Biebs, so since he is growing older, our “oval” shape will reflect a longer and more narrow face than when Justin was a younger child. Also, notice the lightly-drawn guidelines that will serve as rough placement for the center of the face, eyes, nose, and mouth.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/01-bieber-grid.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-214\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"01 bieber grid\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/01-bieber-grid.jpg\" width=\"453\" height=\"600\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Step 2: Draw the Eyes</h3>\r\nNotice in the previous step I said “rough placement”. Guidelines are meant to give you general guidance, but you don’t have to be tied to them. So, rather than drawing the eyes directly on the guideline, I drew them just below the line, with the eyebrows above the guideline. Justin has noticeable eyelashes, so I didn’t leave those out of the drawing. In addition, there is a tiny bit of foreshortening present since Justin’s head is slightly turned. Therefore, I decided to leave one eye looking a little smaller than the other.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/02-bieber-eyes.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-216\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" alt=\"02 bieber eyes\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/02-bieber-eyes.jpg\" width=\"453\" height=\"600\" /></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 3: Make Justin’s Nose</h3>\r\nOur reference photo shows a nose with a rather short bridge and round tip.

Maybe you just draw stick people. Maybe you think that you &#147;can&#146;t&#148; draw at all.\r\n\r\nBy the way, if the last statement applies to you, stop thinking that way right now and start thinking you &#147;CAN&#148;!\r\n\r\nAnyway, regardless of what you can already do, there are some things to consider when learning how to draw people. Thinking about these things and learning them will be sure to help you.\r\n<h2>Types of People Drawing</h2>\r\nFirst of all, people are rendered in different types of drawings. You should put some thought into which one of these you prefer and put the effort into learning that particular type of drawing.\r\n<h3>Cartoon People</h3>\r\nYou may want to learn how to draw <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/category/cartoons/\">cartoon people</a>. This is a great way to start out and practice if you are a beginner. More importantly, it&#146;s a great way to have fun with drawing people!\r\n\r\nYou can really let yourself loose and not stress about something not &#147;looking&#148; right. You can get creative and make up your own characters.\r\n\r\nI had a wild imagination as a child and I did this all the time, creating comic book characters and fictional cartoon TV shows. On that note, as you practice and build your confidence, you may find yourself wanting to draw people from popular cartoons on TV.\r\n<h3>Caricatures</h3>\r\nHave you ever seen that artist on the sidewalk, drawing a happy couple who is posing for him, undisturbed at the onlookers walking by? If you were one of those onlookers and saw the drawing, you may have seen a &#147;cartoon&#148; with an unmistakable resemblance to the couple.\r\n\r\nYou were looking at a <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/category/caricatures/\">caricature drawing</a>. This may be enough to motivate you to learn how to draw caricatures. These can be a lot of fun but at the same time a little challenging. Even though you are drawing what appears to be a cartoon with exaggerated features, you have to take great care to still capture an accurate likeness.\r\n\r\nYou have probably seen caricatures of famous celebrities and politicians on TV and in the newspaper. If you want to learn how to draw caricatures, trying to do so with public figures can be excellent practice.\r\n<h3>Realistic People</h3>\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/nirma.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-73\" title=\"nirma\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/nirma-221x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"221\" height=\"300\"></a>Some artists like to make detailed, realistic drawings of people. They want their drawings to look as close as possible to someone who is believable and real. These are my personal favorite!\r\n\r\nThere are two main ways that I like to classify realistic drawings of people: portrait drawings and character studies.\r\n\r\nA portrait drawing is a drawing of a person or people who are posing and looking directly back at you. A character study is a drawing of a person or people who are going about their daily lives, each exhibiting a particular mood or personality for us to assess.\r\n\r\nOne great way to learn how to draw people realistically is to practice on family members, friends, and <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/category/celebrities/\">celebrities</a>. The important thing about realistic drawing is attention to detail and capturing enough realism to make the person you are drawing easy for others to recognize.\r\n<h2>Drawing Styles</h2>\r\nWhether it be ability level or personal preference, artists create their work using different styles. You may want to experiment with these and pick one as your primary style, or you may wish to openly practice and explore multiple styles as you see fit, not limiting yourself to just one.\r\n<ul><li>Line drawing -&nbsp;This is a very basic drawing with just a simple outline of the major shapes of the person. There is usually little detail in a line drawing.</li>\r\n	<li>Sketch drawing - This can be simple or a little more complex. I really enjoy sketching people! It involves having a very loose wrist and not being constrained with the pressure of making mistakes, often keeping beginning guidelines in the final product. Sketches sometimes include tones as well as lines.</li>\r\n	<li>Detailed drawing -&nbsp;This can be (what started out as) a simple line drawing with a lot more detail added. It can also be a combination of a line and sketch drawing. The bottom line is lots of details.</li>\r\n	<li>Realistic drawing - A detailed drawing of a person (as described above) can still look realistic. But for the purposes of this description, I&#146;m talking about taking things to the next level. This usually means blended shading and the tiniest of details that you&#146;d never find on a basic drawing.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nRemember, you are the artist! There is no &#147;wrong way&#148; to express yourself, so have fun experimenting with these styles!\r\n<h2>What You Need to Learn</h2>\r\nRegardless of the type of &#147;people drawing&#148; you most want to pursue or your personal drawing style, there are some basic fundamentals you will have to learn.\r\n\r\nOne thing you will need to grasp a basic understanding of is proportion. There are certain ways we size different body parts and different facial features, and there are methods we use to determine how much they should be spaced apart. This is most important in realistic drawing, but having knowledge of proportions is not totally useless with cartoons and caricatures.\r\n\r\nThere is so much to learn about drawing faces. The human face has so many unique and distinguishing <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/category/features/\">features</a>: eyes, nose, mouth, ears, hair. Each of these features has its own characteristics that we need to consider. For example, the eye consists of the pupil, iris, eyelids, and eyebrow, just to name a few.\r\n\r\nThese facial features work together in interesting ways to form a variety of expressions. So in order to draw people, you have to form the facial features in a way that conveys emotions such as happiness, sadness, anger, excitement, and so on.\r\n\r\nBut drawing people is not limited to just drawing the face. You also need to learn how to draw hands, which are always doing and helping people express themselves. <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/category/clothes/\">Clothes</a>, of course, are important as well. Maybe you want to draw someone in a recognizable uniform, such as a nurse or a police officer.\r\n<h2>What&#146;s the First Step?</h2>\r\nThis just touches the surface of what is involved in learning how to draw people. I recommend reading through this article again and deciding which aspects of drawing people you wish to improve.\r\n\r\nLearn all you can by reading other related articles, <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/category/gallery/\">studying artwork</a>, and watching how other artists draw the parts that are tricky for you. Then&#133;\r\n\r\n<strong>PRACTICE!! PRACTICE!! PRACTICE!!</strong>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/category/tutorials/\">Draw along with them</a>. Do as they do. Then apply the skills you have learned to independently draw another person, using your own style and creativity.\r\n\r\nPractice drawing people you know. Draw from photos, pictures from magazines or the Internet. Draw from other drawings. Draw from your head, using the prior knowledge you have learned about how to draw a person.\r\n\r\nThe main thing is to keep practicing and don&#146;t get discouraged! If you are not happy with your results, go back and learn from another artist again before practicing some more.\r\n\r\nIt is my hope that I can be one of those artists you can learn from. I hope you find the information, art, and videos throughout this website useful, and I hope you will keep me in mind as a resource to return to whenever you need additional help with drawing people!\r\n\r\nGood luck and happy drawing!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','What Is Involved in Learning How to Draw People?','','inherit','open','open','','66-revision-v1','','','2012-07-29 19:16:00','2012-07-30 02:16:00','',66,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/66-revision-16/',0,'revision','',0),(317,1,'2012-12-27 23:30:02','2012-12-28 07:30:02','<center><iframe src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/ITxn22RLuV8?rel=0\" height=\"360\" width=\"640\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"></iframe></center><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/030596.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-74\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"030596\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/030596-232x300.jpg\" width=\"232\" height=\"300\"></a>Maybe you can already draw people okay, but you want to improve your skills.

Thinking about these things and learning them will be sure to help you.\r\n<h2>Types of People Drawing</h2>\r\nFirst of all, people are rendered in different types of drawings. You should put some thought into which one of these you prefer and put the effort into learning that particular type of drawing.\r\n<h3>Cartoon People</h3>\r\nYou may want to learn how to draw <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/category/cartoons/\">cartoon people</a>. This is a great way to start out and practice if you are a beginner. More importantly, it&#146;s a great way to have fun with drawing people!\r\n\r\nYou can really let yourself loose and not stress about something not &#147;looking&#148; right. You can get creative and make up your own characters.\r\n\r\nI had a wild imagination as a child and I did this all the time, creating comic book characters and fictional cartoon TV shows. On that note, as you practice and build your confidence, you may find yourself wanting to draw people from popular cartoons on TV.\r\n<h3>Caricatures</h3>\r\nHave you ever seen that artist on the sidewalk, drawing a happy couple who is posing for him, undisturbed at the onlookers walking by? If you were one of those onlookers and saw the drawing, you may have seen a &#147;cartoon&#148; with an unmistakable resemblance to the couple.\r\n\r\nYou were looking at a <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/category/caricatures/\">caricature drawing</a>.

For many people, the nose seems to be a major sticking point. If you want to know how to draw noses better, just read the following tips!\r\n<h3>Placement</h3>\r\nAlthough noses do come in many shapes and sizes, they all have the same placement on the face. They are generally one eye-width wide and come down to halfway between the eyebrows and chin.\r\n<h3>Projection</h3>\r\nYou should study examples of different noses to see how they project from the face. Some noses seem to curve inward from between the eyes before the bridge comes out, and others can jut out quite prominently from the face.\r\n<h3>Bridge</h3>\r\nWhen drawing the bridge of the nose, be careful not to use solid lines on both sides. Your nose will look more cartoonish. Now if that is what you’re going for, then it’s fine. For a less cartoon-like nose, think of the bridge as three surfaces: the front with two sides sloping down to the face. I usually will note the light source and maybe put a very light, broken line on the lit side. On the other side, some light shading with short, slanted zig-zag lines works.\r\n<h3>Tip</h3>\r\nThink of the tip and bottom part of the nose as 3 little spheres. Just as with the bridge, think “light lines” when representing the tip.\r\n<h3>Nostrils</h3>\r\nDon’t forget to draw the little piece of cartilage below the tip that separates the nostrils. If you focus on drawing the surrounding skin and not the holes themselves, the nostrils will take care of themselves.\r\n\r\nSo, I know these are all common-knowledge facts about noses, but they are little things people sometimes forget to think about when drawing them. The next time you draw a nose, keep these tips in mind that apply to all noses, but also draw the unique characteristics of each part of the nose that will give individuality!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','Tips for How to Draw Noses','','inherit','open','open','','77-revision-v1','','','2012-07-29 19:16:29','2012-07-30 02:16:29','',77,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/77-revision-11/',0,'revision','',0),(312,1,'2012-07-29 19:28:19','2012-07-30 02:28:19','<center><iframe src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/CgfuB38izSc?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\"></iframe></center>\r\n\r\nOkay Everybody, here is a quick tutorial for how to draw a simple nose. It is a very generic nose looking straight ahead.\r\n<h3>Step 1: Sketch the Basic Shapes</h3>\r\nThink about each of the major parts of the nose as a shape. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Lightly</span> draw these shapes to serve as your guidelines. Draw a long, narrow oval for the bridge and a circle at the bottom for the tip, overlapping the oval. You can draw two half-circles (or overlapping circles) for the nostrils. I often think of the nostrils as “parentheses” when I draw them!\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/nose01.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-93 aligncenter\" title=\"nose01\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/nose01-260x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"260\" height=\"300\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3> Step 2: Define the Bridge</h3>\r\nRemember to think of the bridge of the nose as three surfaces. You are going to define the two sides by drawing two light lines down the oval, and the front should take care of itself. The lines should curve away from each other at the top. Decide where the light is coming from. For this drawing, I decided it is coming from the right. Sketch some heavier shading on the left side and some very light shading on the right.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/nose02.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-88 aligncenter\" title=\"nose02\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/nose02-267x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"267\" height=\"300\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Step 3: Form the Nostrils</h3>\r\nStart forming the nostrils by darkening up your (parentheses) guidelines. I usually don’t make perfectly formed parentheses, because the nostrils tend to flatten out at the bottom where they meet with the face. Start drawing along the bottom part of your circle to begin the nasal passages. You have to remember that that circle represents a ball of cartilage, and there is a little cartilage between the nasal passages too.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/nose041.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-90 aligncenter\" title=\"nose03\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/nose041-260x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"260\" height=\"300\" /></a></p>\r\n\r\n<h3> Step 4: Finish the Tip and Touch Up</h3>\r\nSo for the tip of the nose, I added a little shading to round out the ball and the top of the nostrils. Then I erased most of my guidelines; you know, those shapes we began with. Since this is a sketch, I sometimes like to leave a few guidelines and stray marks in. It can add to your artwork.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/nose03.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-89 aligncenter\" title=\"nose04\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/nose03-248x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"248\" height=\"300\" /></a></p>\r\n So there you have it…the basics for drawing a basic nose! Remember, noses come in many shapes and sizes, just as all facial features do. Still though, you can apply these basic techniques to fit any type of nose you want to draw!

The good news is, there are a wide variety of shoes that exist for us to choose from. So I thought, what better way to begin learning how to draw shoes than to learn something simple? With that said, here is a lesson for drawing wedge high heel shoes. Here is a reference photo for us to draw. In case you are up for more of a challenge, the feet do come included!\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/dreamstime_xs_25047892.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-161 aligncenter\" title=\"Reference photo © Branislav Ostojic | Dreamstime.com\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/dreamstime_xs_25047892-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 1: Make a Grid</h3>\r\nMake a grid of 6 squares to use as guidelines. The size isn’t important, but use a ruler to construct your squares properly. This is an optional step, but it can also be a helpful one if you are drawing along with me and want to make your feet and shoes look as close to mine as possible. Grids are really useful for proper placement of your lines.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-141 aligncenter\" title=\"drawing wedge high heels grid\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-grid-300x216.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"216\" />\r\n<h3>Step 2: Draw the Basic Shapes</h3>\r\nIn this drawing, I am focusing on the two center grid squares. Lightly draw basic shapes for the legs and feet. Use long oval shapes for the legs. Notice how the lines overlap? Even though the right leg is in front, we can still see the outlines of the left leg. This is a good thing, because it helps us to properly place the features that are not obstructed. We will go back later to erase lines that should be hidden. Use wedge shapes for the feet and toes. Use smaller oval shapes or circular shapes for the heel and ankles.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-shapes.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-144 aligncenter\" title=\"drawing wedge high heels shapes\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-shapes-189x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"189\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 3: Shape the Shoes</h3>\r\nBegin making a wedge shape for the wedge shoes. Since these are wedge high heels that we are drawing, they should be taller in the back. Show a little bit of curvature as they come up to the front.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-shoes.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-146 aligncenter\" title=\"drawing wedge high heels shoes\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-shoes-176x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"176\" height=\"300\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Step 4: Define the Legs and Feet</h3>\r\nUse the shapes to add more defining lines of detail to the legs and feet. Your shapes from earlier are to serve simply as guidelines; don’t feel like you have to draw over them exactly. Notice here that I decided to draw to the right of my guideline, so the curve from the calf muscle would look more slender and natural. Also notice that I didn’t trace those lines of the left leg that are hidden behind the right leg in the foreground. Add in a line or two for the ankle, and do your best to indicate the toes, using your wedge shapes to help you.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-legs.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-142 aligncenter\" title=\"drawing wedge high heels legs\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-legs-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" /></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 5: Draw the Base of the Shoes</h3>\r\nDraw thin lines on the top and bottom of each shoe to represent the outer soles and insoles. There is a barely noticeable heel on the bottom of the shoe. Also, notice the space between the foot and the insole.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-shoe-details.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-145 aligncenter\" title=\"drawing wedge high heels shoe details\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-shoe-details-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" /></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 6: Add the Straps</h3>\r\nAdd the straps for the heel, toes, and ankles. You should draw the heel strap overlapping the insole a bit, and then erase the part the strap conceals. You can add a buckle and a few holes to the ankle strap.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-straps.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-147 aligncenter\" title=\"drawing wedge high heels straps\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-straps-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" /></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 7: Plan Your Shading</h3>\r\nMake guidelines to help you place some shading. This way you can plan your light source, draw where the shadows should be, and make any changes needed before committing a lot of shading.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-shade-lines.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-143 aligncenter\" title=\"drawing wedge high heels shade lines\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-shade-lines-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" /></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 8: Add Final Details</h3>\r\nFinish up shading and add final details. Add in shading by using your guidelines from the last step. Consider which areas need to be darker, like just under the foot where it meets the insole and where the front leg casts a shadow on the leg behind it. Also notice a little shading progression on the front part of the shoes to indicate the curves.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-details.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-140 aligncenter\" title=\"drawing wedge high heels details\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/drawing-wedge-high-heels-details-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" /></a></h3>\r\n<h3>Step 9: Erase the Guidelines</h3>\r\nCarefully erase your guidelines. This includes your square gridlines, any shape guidelines you didn’t need (like under the calf), and any that should be hidden from view (like the left leg behind the right). You’ll have to work around the lines you want to keep.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/wedge-high-heels-finished.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-139 aligncenter\" title=\"wedge high heels finished\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/wedge-high-heels-finished-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" /></a></h3>\r\nAnd that is how you draw a pair of feet wearing wedge high heel shoes! Try practicing this with a different style of wedge shoe next time. This is also good practice for getting better at drawing feet, because you are drawing the shoes that conform to the basic shape of the foot and you are not drawing the feet in isolation. Feet and toes take time to learn…just keep practicing until you have a satisfying composition of shoes and feet!','How to Draw Feet Wearing Wedge High Heels','','inherit','open','open','','129-revision-v1','','','2012-07-29 19:13:13','2012-07-30 02:13:13','',129,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/129-revision-25/',0,'revision','',0),(476,1,'2013-06-27 13:22:55','2013-06-27 20:22:55','<h3>Our Mission</h3>\r\nWelcome!

Maybe you just draw stick people. Maybe you think that you &#147;can&#146;t&#148; draw at all.\r\n\r\nBy the way, if the last statement applies to you, stop thinking that way right now and start thinking you &#147;CAN&#148;!\r\n\r\nAnyway, regardless of what you can already do, there are some things to consider when learning how to draw people. Thinking about these things and learning them will be sure to help you.\r\n<h2>Types of People Drawing</h2>\r\nFirst of all, people are rendered in different types of drawings. You should put some thought into which one of these you prefer and put the effort into learning that particular type of drawing.\r\n<h3>Cartoon People</h3>\r\nYou may want to learn how to draw <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/category/cartoons/\">cartoon people</a>. This is a great way to start out and practice if you are a beginner. More importantly, it&#146;s a great way to have fun with drawing people!\r\n\r\nYou can really let yourself loose and not stress about something not &#147;looking&#148; right. You can get creative and make up your own characters.\r\n\r\nI had a wild imagination as a child and I did this all the time, creating comic book characters and fictional cartoon TV shows. On that note, as you practice and build your confidence, you may find yourself wanting to draw people from popular cartoons on TV.\r\n<h3>Caricatures</h3>\r\nHave you ever seen that artist on the sidewalk, drawing a happy couple who is posing for him, undisturbed at the onlookers walking by? If you were one of those onlookers and saw the drawing, you may have seen a &#147;cartoon&#148; with an unmistakable resemblance to the couple.\r\n\r\nYou were looking at a caricature drawing. This may be enough to motivate you to learn how to draw caricatures. These can be a lot of fun but at the same time a little challenging. Even though you are drawing what appears to be a cartoon with exaggerated features, you have to take great care to still capture an accurate likeness.\r\n\r\nYou have probably seen caricatures of famous celebrities and politicians on TV and in the newspaper. If you want to learn how to draw caricatures, trying to do so with public figures can be excellent practice.\r\n<h3>Realistic People</h3>\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/nirma.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-73\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"nirma\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/nirma-221x300.jpg\" width=\"221\" height=\"300\"></a>Some artists like to make detailed, realistic drawings of people. They want their drawings to look as close as possible to someone who is believable and real. These are my personal favorite!\r\n\r\nThere are two main ways that I like to classify realistic drawings of people: portrait drawings and character studies.\r\n\r\nA portrait drawing is a drawing of a person or people who are posing and looking directly back at you. A character study is a drawing of a person or people who are going about their daily lives, each exhibiting a particular mood or personality for us to assess.\r\n\r\nOne great way to learn how to draw people realistically is to practice on family members, friends, and <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/category/celebrities/\">celebrities</a>. The important thing about realistic drawing is attention to detail and capturing enough realism to make the person you are drawing easy for others to recognize.\r\n<h2>Drawing Styles</h2>\r\nWhether it be ability level or personal preference, artists create their work using different styles. You may want to experiment with these and pick one as your primary style, or you may wish to openly practice and explore multiple styles as you see fit, not limiting yourself to just one.\r\n<ul><li>Line drawing -&nbsp;This is a very basic drawing with just a simple outline of the major shapes of the person. There is usually little detail in a line drawing.</li>\r\n	<li>Sketch drawing - This can be simple or a little more complex. I really enjoy sketching people! It involves having a very loose wrist and not being constrained with the pressure of making mistakes, often keeping beginning guidelines in the final product. Sketches sometimes include tones as well as lines.</li>\r\n	<li>Detailed drawing -&nbsp;This can be (what started out as) a simple line drawing with a lot more detail added. It can also be a combination of a line and sketch drawing. The bottom line is lots of details.</li>\r\n	<li>Realistic drawing - A detailed drawing of a person (as described above) can still look realistic. But for the purposes of this description, I&#146;m talking about taking things to the next level. This usually means blended shading and the tiniest of details that you&#146;d never find on a basic drawing.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nRemember, you are the artist! There is no &#147;wrong way&#148; to express yourself, so have fun experimenting with these styles!\r\n<h2>What You Need to Learn</h2>\r\nRegardless of the type of &#147;people drawing&#148; you most want to pursue or your personal drawing style, there are some basic fundamentals you will have to learn.\r\n\r\nOne thing you will need to grasp a basic understanding of is proportion. There are certain ways we size different body parts and different facial features, and there are methods we use to determine how much they should be spaced apart. This is most important in realistic drawing, but having knowledge of proportions is not totally useless with cartoons and caricatures.\r\n\r\nThere is so much to learn about drawing faces. The human face has so many unique and distinguishing <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/category/features/\">features</a>: eyes, nose, mouth, ears, hair. Each of these features has its own characteristics that we need to consider. For example, the eye consists of the pupil, iris, eyelids, and eyebrow, just to name a few.\r\n\r\nThese facial features work together in interesting ways to form a variety of expressions. So in order to draw people, you have to form the facial features in a way that conveys emotions such as happiness, sadness, anger, excitement, and so on.\r\n\r\nBut drawing people is not limited to just drawing the face. You also need to learn how to draw hands, which are always doing and helping people express themselves. <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/category/clothes/\">Clothes</a>, of course, are important as well. Maybe you want to draw someone in a recognizable uniform, such as a nurse or a police officer.\r\n<h2>What&#146;s the First Step?</h2>\r\nThis just touches the surface of what is involved in drawing people. I recommend reading through this article again and deciding which aspects of drawing people you wish to improve.\r\n\r\nLearn all you can by reading other related articles, studying artwork, and watching how other artists draw the parts that are tricky for you. Then&#133;\r\n\r\n<strong>PRACTICE!! PRACTICE!! PRACTICE!!</strong>\r\n\r\nDraw along with them. Do as they do. Then apply the skills you have learned to independently draw another person, using your own style and creativity.\r\n\r\nPractice drawing people you know. Draw from photos, pictures from magazines or the Internet. Draw from other drawings. Draw from your head, using the prior knowledge you have learned about how to draw a person.\r\n\r\nThe main thing is to keep practicing and don&#146;t get discouraged! If you are not happy with your results, go back and learn from another artist again before practicing some more.\r\n\r\nIt is my hope that I can be one of those artists you can learn from. I hope you find the information, art, and videos throughout this website useful, and I hope you will keep me in mind as a resource to return to whenever you need additional help with drawing people!\r\n\r\nGood luck and happy drawing!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;','What Is Involved in Learning How to Draw People?','','inherit','open','open','','66-revision-v1','','','2012-12-29 21:58:39','2012-12-30 05:58:39','',66,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/66-revision-24/',0,'revision','',0),(319,1,'2012-12-27 23:54:47','2012-12-28 07:54:47','<center><iframe src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/ITxn22RLuV8?rel=0\" height=\"360\" width=\"640\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"></iframe></center><a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/030596.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-74\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"030596\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/030596-232x300.jpg\" width=\"232\" height=\"300\"></a>\r\n\r\nMaybe you can already draw people okay, but you want to improve your skills. Maybe you just draw stick people. Maybe you think that you &#147;can&#146;t&#148; draw at all.\r\n\r\nBy the way, if the last statement applies to you, stop thinking that way right now and start thinking you &#147;CAN&#148;!\r\n\r\nAnyway, regardless of what you can already do, there are some things to consider when learning how to draw people. Thinking about these things and learning them will be sure to help you.\r\n<h2>Types of People Drawing</h2>\r\nFirst of all, people are rendered in different types of drawings. You should put some thought into which one of these you prefer and put the effort into learning that particular type of drawing.\r\n<h3>Cartoon People</h3>\r\nYou may want to learn how to draw <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/category/cartoons/\">cartoon people</a>. This is a great way to start out and practice if you are a beginner. More importantly, it&#146;s a great way to have fun with drawing people!\r\n\r\nYou can really let yourself loose and not stress about something not &#147;looking&#148; right. You can get creative and make up your own characters.\r\n\r\nI had a wild imagination as a child and I did this all the time, creating comic book characters and fictional cartoon TV shows. On that note, as you practice and build your confidence, you may find yourself wanting to draw people from popular cartoons on TV.\r\n<h3>Caricatures</h3>\r\nHave you ever seen that artist on the sidewalk, drawing a happy couple who is posing for him, undisturbed at the onlookers walking by? If you were one of those onlookers and saw the drawing, you may have seen a &#147;cartoon&#148; with an unmistakable resemblance to the couple.\r\n\r\nYou were looking at a caricature drawing. This may be enough to motivate you to learn how to draw caricatures. These can be a lot of fun but at the same time a little challenging. Even though you are drawing what appears to be a cartoon with exaggerated features, you have to take great care to still capture an accurate likeness.\r\n\r\nYou have probably seen caricatures of famous celebrities and politicians on TV and in the newspaper.
