(4008,2,'2017-10-08 16:51:13','2017-10-08 23:51:13','At some point early in every artist’s development we find ourselves asking someone how to draw people. People are commonplace, ever present, a subject of constant fascination. We see them beautifully depicted by the Masters, simplified as superheroes, and used as a canvas of infinite imagination by concept artists and designers.\r\n\r\nBut drawing people is hard. This is because people are themselves made up of multiple smaller, yet no less intricate, pieces. It can be incredibly difficult, but with a little patience and perseverance, we will work and learn together and grow as artists. Before you know it, you’ll be drawing people as though it were second nature.\r\n\r\nIn this tutorial, I’m going to show you one helpful process you can use to draw an ear. At first glance ears appear to be a complex series of twisting and intertwining shapes. It can be intimidating. Many artists, myself included, have a tendency to oversimplify the ear or cover it up with elaborate hair-styles.\r\n\r\nBut the ear itself is nowhere near as complex as it seems. Covering the ear up or oversimplifying also means that the artist is missing out on an opportunity to instill the subject with greater personality. That’s why in this tutorial we’re going to take things one step further. We’re drawing an ear with piercings.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_3846\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"480\"]<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/ref-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-3846 size-medium\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/ref-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings-480x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"600\" /></a> <center><b> © <a href=\"https://www.dreamstime.com/forca_info\">Forca</a> | <a href=\"https://www.dreamstime.com/\">Dreamstime.com</a></b></center>[/caption]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nPlease work alongside me throughout this tutorial. Take your time and work at your own pace, but try and do each step as you read through it. Don’t be afraid to stop and take your time with any section. Work through each step as best as you can and then move on to the next. I will guide you with tips, advice, and a detailed explanation of the process.\r\n\r\nThe first thing that we need to get started is our tools.\r\n<h2>Setup</h2>\r\nThough I will next outline a small selection of specific tools for this project, all you really need to follow along is a comfortable, well-lit place to work, a sketchbook or other drawing paper, a pencil, and an eraser. If you have access to additional tools that may help you, please feel free to use them.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>...8x10” sketchbook (medium weight, lightly textured)</li>\r\n 	<li>...5mm Graphite Stick for block-in and sketching</li>\r\n 	<li>...HB Pencil for the mid-tones</li>\r\n 	<li>...2B Pencil for dark values and shadows</li>\r\n 	<li>...0.5mm Mechanical Pencil for details</li>\r\n 	<li>...Kneaded Eraser for all things erasable</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/step-materials-how-to-draw-an-ear.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3847\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/step-materials-how-to-draw-an-ear-420x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\nIf you do not have access to all of these tools, have no fear. All you really need is a pencil and paper and you can follow along. So gather your tools, find a comfortable spot, and let’s get started!\r\n<h2>The Block-In</h2>\r\nThe block-in is probably the most important stage in any drawing. It doesn’t matter if it’s just a quick sketch or a Master Work, the block-in will ultimately determine the final result of the drawing. Unfortunately, it’s also one of the more challenging and least exciting aspects of any drawing. In fact, I wouldn’t blame you for wanting to skip it altogether.\r\n\r\nDon’t.\r\n\r\nTake the time required to do the block-in and do it well. This is an essential step and any mistakes made here will carry on throughout the rest of the drawing. A good measure to use at this stage is this: do you like what you see? If you do, great. If not, try and figure out what it is that you don’t like. Don’t expect it to suddenly become better in a later stage of the drawing because everything else you do is only going to be built upon what you have done in this stage.\r\n<h3>The Largest Shape</h3>\r\nA good practice to get into when drawing almost anything is to start with the largest shapes. Again, I know it’s tempting to just choose a point and start sketching, but in art it’s often best to work from large to small.\r\n\r\nLooking at the reference image, think about what the largest shape is. The shape that encompasses everything you want to draw. I’m not just talking about the shape of the ear, I’m talking about the simplest shape that both the ear and the earrings create. Once you think you’ve got a good idea as to what that largest shape is, start sketching.\r\n\r\nBegin by using a 5mm graphite stick to lightly sketch out the largest form. If you do not have something similar just use your softest pencil -- HB, H, 2H, etc. are all good choices -- or simply work as lightly as you can with what you have available. Hold the tool between your thumb and forefinger and, drawing from your elbow, sketch out the largest shape using a series of straight lines.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/01-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3835\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/01-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings-420x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\nTIP: Using straight lines will make it easier to simplify this large shape. Draw from point to point, almost like connect the dots, along the outermost edges of the shape. We can always come back later and make it nice and curvy.\r\n\r\nThis shape encompasses everything that will be contained within the drawing. This means the earrings as well as the ear itself. The shape represents the outermost boundaries of the image and from here on out everything you draw should be contained within.\r\n\r\nIf, in future steps, you find yourself drawing outside this initial shape, take a moment to reevaluate your proportions. Everything should fit within this shape. Take your time. Compare angles and proportions regularly.\r\n<h3>Draw an Ear</h3>\r\nNow that we’ve established our largest shape we can begin sketching the ear itself. Still using a soft graphite or light touch and still drawing from the elbow. Take your time here. Try to make broad sweeping lines, not little repeating hash marks. Even if it isn’t completely accurate a single line will always appear more confident than a series of hesitant strokes.\r\n\r\nAt this point we can feel free to erase anything that we feel isn’t working in order to retry it and get it just right. Throughout this stage you can continue to make adjustments both to the ear itself and to the largest shape we’ve already drawn. Use the process of sketching the ear within the largest shape to make adjustments to your proportions.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3836\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings-420x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\nTIP: At this stage erasing is free. Don’t rush. Even step away from the drawing for a few minutes and come back with fresh eyes. Erase what needs to be fixed and make those changes while you still can.\r\n\r\nRegularly compare your image to the reference. Find various specific points on the ear and compare them relative to each other. How far away are they? What internal shapes or patterns do they make? Do they line up with any other important features of the ear? These questions will help you refine your proportions and get a more accurate sketch.\r\n<h3>Blocking-in the Piercings</h3>\r\nNow that we have our ear nicely sketched out, we can start blocking-in the earrings themselves. Begin by drawing a simple ellipse to figure out the placement and proportions of each piercing. This will also help you to establish the perspective of the shape.\r\n\r\nOnce you’re satisfied we can begin sketching out the larger shapes of the earrings themselves. Keep it as simple as possible at this stage. Lines and cylinders only.\r\n\r\nDon’t worry about the fact that not all the earrings are perfect ellipses. At this point simplifying the form is far more important and it will help you find placement and proportions more accurately.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/03-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3837\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/03-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings-420x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\nNotice that in the final block-in for the piercings, they are simplified to such a degree that some individual shapes are combined into one larger shape. At this stage the details don’t matter. Get the larger shapes right and the details will follow.\r\n\r\nTIP: When working with any complex form ignore the detail to start with. Try to find the biggest shapes and the simple geometric forms (cylinder, sphere, cube) that make up more complex objects.\r\n<h2>Basic Shadows</h2>\r\nNow that our sketch is complete and we’re happy with it we can begin to lay in some of the basic shadows.\r\n\r\nTIP: This is the point of no return. If you’re not happy with the sketch keep refining it until you are. From here on out it’s going to become more and more difficult to fix any early mistakes.\r\n\r\nThough we’ve blocked-in our earrings at this stage we’re not going to worry too much about them for now, especially when it comes to laying in the shadow shapes. We’ll deal with the shadows on the earrings in more detail in a future step. First, we have one of the most important elements when it comes to defining the form of your subject.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/04-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3838\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/04-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings-420x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Core Shadows</h3>\r\nThe core shadows will be some of the darkest shadows in the drawing. They occur at the point where the form begins to turn away from the light.\r\n\r\nAt this stage, we’re still using our 5mm graphite stick, though we’re allowing the values to build up a great deal more. This is only partially done by applying greater pressure. Be careful about pressing too hard. You may build up a much darker value far faster than you want. Instead go over the shadow area multiple times, layering in darker values bit by bit.\r\n\r\nFor now, think about the form. Think about the direction of the light. Where the form begins to turn away from the light is where we will put our core shadows.\r\n\r\nTo draw my core shadows, I usually make sure that I have a flat side on whatever tool I’m using. To get a flat side, you can find a rough surface, concrete, wood, or sandpaper, and shave the graphite down on one side. A small pocket knife could also do the trick. Just use proper knife safety and always work with the blade moving away from you.\r\n\r\nOnce you have a flat edge to your graphite, take hold of the pencil gently between your thumb and forefinger and, using your whole arm, fill in the core shadows. If you’re not used to drawing this way or with the flat edge you may wish to do some practice on a separate sheet of paper. Practice creating soft lines that go from thick to thin. Do this with both ‘S’ and ‘C’ curves. Once you have a good feel for it return to the drawing and try it for real.\r\n\r\nThe core shadow itself can range from soft and wide where the form turns gently, to thin and sharp where the form turns more quickly away from the light. Keep in mind that the core shadow should never be completely sharp or hard edged. It can come close, but there should always be a little softness to it.\r\n<h3>Shadow Shapes</h3>\r\nHaving established our core shadows, we can begin filling in our shadow shapes. There are a couple of different ways to approach this. One method is to begin by softly outlining the larger shapes of the shadows themselves wherever you see them. However, if you feel confident enough you can start by filling in the areas directly.\r\n\r\nIf you choose to outline the shadow shapes first, try to avoid making hard lines or sharp edges. The one exception to this rule is in the case of cast shadows.\r\n\r\nCast shadows are like core shadows in that they are among the darkest areas of value in the drawing. Cast shadows also helps to describe an object\'s form as they will bend and curve along whatever surface they are cast upon. Generally speaking, cast shadows will have a much sharper edge.\r\n\r\nTo draw shadows shapes, switch from the 5mm graphite stick to the 2B pencil. Still holding the pencil between your thumb and forefinger, and drawing from your elbow as much as possible, begin carefully establishing the shadow shape using the method of your choice.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/05-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3839\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/05-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings-420x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\nDo your best to use a uniform value at this stage. For now, ignore any variations in value that you see. It should be dark, but still lighter than the core shadows. This would also be a good time to darken your core shadows if you feel they are still too light. Feel free to lightly fill in the shadow shapes on the earrings if you choose, but we will be tackling the earrings in greater detail in the next step.\r\n\r\nTIP: Having trouble seeing the values and where the major shadow shapes are? Try squinting. Squinting at the image limits the visual information that can enter your eyes and only the highest contrast areas will be visible. The darker areas you see will be your shadow shapes.\r\n<h2>The Piercings</h2>\r\nNow that we have our basic shadows in place we can return to working on the earrings themselves. In this section, we will finish blocking in any details and establish the value range of the metal piercings. At the completion of this section, all important elements of the piercings will be in place.\r\n<h3>Refining the Earrings</h3>\r\nIn the early stages of this tutorial we simply established the largest shapes of the earrings, their placement and proportions. Now it is time to refine those larger shapes. During this time, switch back and forth between your 2B and Mechanical Pencil as needed.\r\n\r\nBroadly speaking, use your mechanical pencil whenever you need to define the details and basic shadow lay in, and switch to a 2B when you need to emphasize the darker values a bit more.\r\n\r\nAt this stage feel free to draw from your wrist, holding the pencil in whatever manner is most comfortable.\r\n\r\nTIP: If you’re drawing in a sketchbook consider rotating the page to get the best angle on whatever details you’re drawing. Look for positions that allow the natural arc of your wrist’s range of movement to do the work for you. If you find yourself drawing in such a way that feels cramped or unnatural it’s a good bet that there’s a better angle you could be working from.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/06-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3840\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/06-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings-420x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\nJust like with the ear, begin by finding the core shadows and darkening them to a greater degree. Fill in the shadow shapes as best as you can as well. Pay special attention to the nature of the material. Notice how the metal transitions much more quickly from dark to light and has a greater contrast between dark and light than the ear does.\r\n\r\nOnce you established your basic shadow shapes, begin carefully filling in the details. Remember to work from large to small.\r\n\r\nIn the image above, you can clearly see the steps that are used. The earrings at the top of the ear are virtually complete. At the middle of the ear you can see how the largest shapes are broken into smaller shapes, ready for details. Finally, at the bottom and left side of the ear you can see the earrings virtually unchanged from the previous steps.\r\n\r\nAt this stage, we are only concerned with the secondary shapes and how the light affects them. While you may be tempted to draw every detail you see, try to refrain from doing so. Focus on how the larger shapes we’ve already established break down into smaller shapes. Then think about how the light and dark values apply to them.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/07-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3841\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/07-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings-420x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\nAt this point we’re simply repeating steps already taken. There are quite a few piercings and a lot of detail to consider. Remember to take your time. If you find yourself getting fatigued, step away from the drawing for 15 minutes. Get some water, stretch, or go for a short walk. Then come back and continue.\r\n\r\nTIP: Don’t worry about capturing every detail. Look for ways to simplify the detail or even get rid of it completely, especially in darker areas. Too many details will make things look overcrowded, the eye won’t know what to look at. Be selective and save the most detail for the areas that have the highest contrast.\r\n\r\nCompare the two images in this section. Note the progression between the two. With each earring, we’re going through the same steps. Major Shapes, Secondary Shapes and Values, Details and Detailed Values. Make sure that you complete each step before moving on. If you try to add details before you’ve established your secondary shapes and major values, you’ll only find yourself erasing a great deal of work later on.\r\n<h2>Refining the Values</h2>\r\nAt this point in the drawing almost every important element and relationship is in place. From here on out the changes that we make will be relatively minor. No more major changes, no more additions. You wanted to draw an ear? Well at this point you’ve essentially done so. From here on out it’s all about refinement and process of taking the drawing to completion.\r\n\r\nAt this point frustration can set in. Especially if we didn’t spend as much time getting our proportions and relationships right in the beginning. This is where those things will really start to matter.\r\n\r\nI know all too well the feeling of looking at a drawing that has reached this stage and feeling like a failure. There’s a little voice inside your head that says “Don’t bother finishing this. You can do better if you just start over.”  While there are some circumstances where a drawing is beyond redemption, we are much more likely to think it’s true than for it to actually be true.\r\n\r\nFor now, ignore that voice. Especially if you’re just beginning to learn how to draw. Ignore it. Shut it out completely. Finishing a drawing is a skill in its own right and is every bit as important as anything we’ve done so far. So finish it, evaluate it honestly, and then draw some more.\r\n<h3>Occlusion Shadows</h3>\r\nOcclusion shadows are easily overlooked or easily simplified. But they are among the most important shadows in any drawing, right up there with the core shadows when it comes to describing form.\r\n\r\nOcclusion shadows occur where the form overlaps itself or where two planes come together creating a crease or crevice. If you want to see an example of occlusion shadows in real life, then simply hold your hand flat and straight under a harsh light.\r\n\r\nYou can still see all the little creases of your knuckles, right? Even though it’s under direct light. This is because as your skin folds together there are places where it’s so close together that even direct light can’t fully penetrate it and we see a shadow.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/08-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3842\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/08-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings-420x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\nOcclusion shadows can be a bit tricky. Not that the technique is difficult, but simply because of the mindset required. It can be tempting to just outline everything but you must resist that temptation.\r\n\r\nOcclusion shadows occur where two planes in the form either overlap or come very close together creating a crease or crevice. Look for such locations.\r\n\r\nAt this point we’re still using a 2B pencil. Drawing from your elbow and shoulder carefully, use your pencil to darken any areas where forms overlap. Do this for both ear and the piercings wherever two forms overlap or come in close contact.\r\n\r\nTIP: Use your best judgment when it comes to adding occlusion shadows. If you feel like the image would look better if there were a nice thick black line in a place where there wouldn’t naturally be one, give it a try. Exaggeration and stylization are all tools in the artist toolbox. The degree to which you use them is determined by what your ultimate goals for the drawing are.\r\n<h3>Dark Values</h3>\r\nWe continue to refine our drawing by reinforcing our dark values. This is where we get to go crazy adding all kinds of variations to the dark values. Take time to layer in all the really dark darks, work to add texture to the ear by showing the different values and shades that play across it.\r\n\r\nStill using a 2B pencil, begin to add variation to the darker values. Once again, I would say that you should feel free to draw however is most comfortable. Try to avoid shading with the point of the pencil directly, but other than that use whatever technique you find works the best for you.\r\n\r\nStart by looking for the darkest areas and filling them in. If needed, reinforce some of the core shadows at this stage as well. Proceed slowing and don’t press to hard. It’s all about looking for the variations in values and gradually layering in those darks.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/09-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3843\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/09-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings-420x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\nTIP: Be careful not to fill in areas of reflected light. The reflected light being the softer shadow on the inside of the core shadows. Most noticeable in this image at the top curve and inner curves of the ear. The combination of cast shadow and reflected light are some of the strongest contributors to the illusion of form.\r\n<h3>Mid-Tones</h3>\r\nNow using your lightest pencil (such as an HB) or lightest touch, begin filling in the half tones. Do this as lightly and carefully as possible. However, since almost all the remaining white space is mid-tone, feel free to fill it with a light uniform value in the same way you filled in your shadow shapes. Just remember that your lightest darks should still be darker than your darkest lights.\r\n\r\nOnce you’ve filled in your base mid-tones, you can begin working on some of the darker mid-tones. Give careful consideration to the forms. Ask yourself “Which way is the form turning?” and try to shade by making strokes parallel to the form. This will serve to reinforce its three-dimentionality as all your pencil strokes will be moving in the same direction as the form itself.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/10-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3844\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/10-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings-420x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\nBeginning artists tend to think of the eraser only as a tool for getting rid of mistakes. This could not be farther from the truth. The eraser is as much a tool of creation as the pencil is, you just have to know how to use it.\r\n\r\nIn this instance, we’re going to use our eraser to give our image highlights. Take your eraser and carefully knock back some of the mid-tones wherever you see highlights. Be careful not to erase too much. The highlights should be placed strategically, wherever you feel they will create the most contrast to bring out the form.\r\n\r\nTIP: The highlights should be softer on the ear and harder on the earrings. Remember, different materials reflect light in different ways.\r\n<h2>The Final Refinement</h2>\r\nAt this stage, we could call the image done. However, usually at this point we as artists have been staring at the same piece of paper for so long that we almost don’t even see it anymore. Do yourself a favor at this stage and walk away for a few hours. This will allow you to come back and look at it again with fresh eyes, and fresh eyes will allow you to see things that you would not otherwise see.\r\n\r\nNow is the time to double check everything. Make sure your darks are as dark as you want them, your highlights and midtones as light as you want them. Reinforce and shapes or shading that may have gotten smudged or has faded over time.\r\n\r\nIf some areas seem a bit harsh or hard edged and you want to add some soft edges or smooth transitions, use a blending tool such as a blending stump, tortillion, or tissue to carefully smudge those areas of the drawing. Do this with caution. Not everything needs to be smooth, and a nice balance of smooth and hard transitions will add contrast and create visual interest in the image.\r\n\r\nRefine until you’re happy. Check the reference constantly. Just be aware that at some point you’ll have to take that last most difficult step and, for better or worse, call it done.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3845\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings-420x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n<h2>Conclusion</h2>\r\nWe’ve come a long way together and I hope you’ve learned as much from this experience as I have, but our journey is not over. As artists, we must continue to push ourselves forward at every opportunity and draw constantly.\r\n\r\nTo truly learn to draw an ear you cannot simply do this tutorial once. Do it twice, three times, four times. Take what you’ve learned and try to apply it without the tutorial. Draw from other reference photographs, draw ears from your imagination. Once you’ve done all that and more, come back and do this tutorial a fifth or sixth time. See for yourself the difference.\r\n\r\nAlways save your work, all of it. Not matter how bad you think it is. If it’s something you put real time and effort into, an end in and of itself, hang on to it. There is no better feeling as an artist than looking back over your past work and seeing how much you’ve grown. And there’s no worse feeling than looking back at something you abandoned in frustration and realizing that it wasn’t nearly as bad as you thought.\r\n\r\nDrawing is a skill that you must constantly develop. Never stop learning, but never stop drawing what you care about either.

Stop the video when you want, and review the drawing shots.\r\n\r\nUse this reference photo of the man painting the wall for this tutorial so you can follow along step-by-step and sketch in details as they appear in the photos below.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_3884\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"517\"]<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/reference-photo-how-to-draw-a-guy-painting-the-wall.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-3884 size-medium\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/reference-photo-how-to-draw-a-guy-painting-the-wall-517x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"517\" height=\"600\" /></a> <center><b> © <a href=\"https://www.dreamstime.com/godfer_info\">Godfer</a> | <a href=\"https://www.dreamstime.com/\">Dreamstime.com</a></b></center>[/caption]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWhen you are choosing what to draw, many times a complicated pose can make you shy away, but this drawing of a man painting a wall will show you that even a person in action can be tackled easily and with impressive results when you follow along with some simple step-by-step actions to take in your drawing. Go slowly and look carefully at each image.\r\n<h2>Set up Box Guidelines</h2>\r\nAs you can see in this first image, I have drawn three different-sized rectangles that represent the outer framework of the body of the man we are drawing. I took some measurements of the reference photo in order to draw the boxes in proper proportion to one another which will, in turn, maintain proper proportions of our final drawing.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/01-how-to-draw-a-guy-rectangles.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3863\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/01-how-to-draw-a-guy-rectangles-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\nIn the following directions, I’ll indicate the approximate measurements you’ll need for each box for a drawing the same size as mine. If you want to make a larger drawing, simply scale up as much as needed.\r\n\r\nFirst, draw a small rectangle near the top of the page that will be for the man’s head. This box should be 2 ½ inches tall by about 1 7/8 inches wide.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/01a-how-to-draw-a-guy-rectangles.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3951\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/01a-how-to-draw-a-guy-rectangles-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nBelow this box but with a half-inch overlap, and pushed an eighth of an inch to the right, draw a taller rectangular box for the man’s torso. This box should be 4 inches tall and 2 ½ inches wide.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/01b-how-to-draw-a-guy-rectangles.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3952\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/01b-how-to-draw-a-guy-rectangles-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nFor the third box, draw a large square to the left of the first two boxes, with a 1 5/16 inch overlap of the torso box as shown. Also, push the bottom of this box up about 3/8 of an inch higher than the bottom of the torso box. The top of this box will serve as the top of the paint roller and the bottom of the box will be where the guy’s elbow will touch.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/01c-how-to-draw-a-guy-rectangles.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3953\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/01c-how-to-draw-a-guy-rectangles-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow that we have these boxes, we can begin drawing some basic shapes inside.\r\n<h2>Draw Guidelines for the Face</h2>\r\nStart with the box on the top and draw an outline within this box for the head. Look at the reference photograph to shape the head and again at the reference photo to get an idea of the angle at which the head is turned.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02a-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3954\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02a-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWe’re going to begin adding some guidelines to this head to help place the facial features. Getting these proportional guidelines lightly in place will help you position the facial features correctly, so look carefully at where these are placed and duplicate these in your drawing.\r\n\r\nDraw a vertical line that will run through the center of the man’s face. This vertical line should also follow the curvature of the head.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02b-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3955\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02b-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThen draw a horizontal line, again curved across the center. This guideline will help us place the eyes. Draw tiny tick marks along this guideline to place the inner and outer corner of each eye.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02c-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3956\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02c-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNext approximately halfway between the eye guideline and the chin should be a mark for the bottom of the nose. About a third of the way from this point to the chin should be another guideline for the mouth.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02d-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3957\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02d-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow we’ll focus on some vertical guidelines under where the eyes will be. A guideline from the center of the eye downward will be for the corner of the mouth. Another guideline from the inner corner of the eye downward will be for the outer edge of the lower part of the nose.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02e-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3958\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02e-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNext draw two more horizontal guidelines above the line for the eyes. One will be for the eyebrows and the other for the hairline.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02f-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3959\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02f-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nFinally extend the nose guideline all the way across the head. This line and the eye guideline will help to place the ear.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02g-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3960\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02g-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Draw the Eyes and the Nose</h2>\r\nNow let’s move on to drawing the facial features that accompany these guidelines. Begin with the eyes and draw the outline. Then draw the details of the eyes within the outlines of the eyes, such as the pupil, the iris, the highlights, the lines under the eyes, the eyelids, and so on.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/03a-how-to-draw-a-guy-eyes-and-nose.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3961\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/03a-how-to-draw-a-guy-eyes-and-nose-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAfter the eyes come the eyebrows. Use the guideline that’s just above the eye and draw the eyebrows on this guideline. Look at the reference photo to observe the thickness and curvature of the eyebrow around the eye, and curve appropriately in your drawing.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/03b-how-to-draw-a-guy-eyes-and-nose.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3962\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/03b-how-to-draw-a-guy-eyes-and-nose-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAfter the eyes is the nose. Look at the reference photograph to judge how far the tip of the nose should protrude from the face and where the tip of the nose should align with the man’s right eye. Carefully draw the nostril and bottom of the nose. The wing of the nose should line up with the inner corner of the man’s eye.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/03c-how-to-draw-a-guy-eyes-and-nose.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3963\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/03c-how-to-draw-a-guy-eyes-and-nose-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Draw More of the Face and Hair</h2>\r\nUse the guideline drawn earlier for the mouth to begin drawing the guy’s top lip. Also remember the guideline that falls from the center of the eye to help place the corner of the mouth. The man’s mouth is slightly open, so make sure to draw some of the visible teeth before moving on to the bottom lip.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/04-how-to-draw-a-guy-mouth.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3866\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/04-how-to-draw-a-guy-mouth-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\nAt this point, use a kneaded eraser to carefully erase some of the guidelines around the facial features. Then, shape the outline of the face. Draw the contours around the eye, cheek, mouth and chin. Add details around the mouth where needed.\r\n\r\nAdd some volume to the eyebrows with quick, loose strokes of the pencil. Refer to the photo to obtain just the right thickness.\r\n\r\nStart shaping the ear, which should fall roughly between the guideline for the eyes and the guideline for the nose. Use the reference photo to draw the shapes within the ear.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/05-how-to-draw-a-guy-face-outline-eyebrows-ear.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3867\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/05-how-to-draw-a-guy-face-outline-eyebrows-ear-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\nErase the guidelines of the face, since we are finished with those.\r\n\r\nNow using the photo as your guide, draw in the rough outline of the hair, being careful not to make the lines look too smooth. Go back and forth over your original outline with short strokes to make the appearance of strands of hair. This will add to the realism.\r\n\r\nOn the top of the head, place the strokes going up and away from the face, to indicate an area with the hair is loose and a bit longer on top of his head.\r\n\r\nAdd sideburns down along the side of the ear and then follow up and around the ear, bringing the hair closer as you get toward the top of the ear line.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/06-how-to-draw-a-guy-hair-outline.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3868\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/06-how-to-draw-a-guy-hair-outline-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nStart putting details in the outline of the hair to better indicate the flow and direction of the man’s hair, including some light shading in some of the darker areas.\r\n\r\nWorking within the overall hairline you have created, draw clusters of short back and forth strokes to create small groupings of hair and shadow that make the hair look like it is wavy and full. Do this over the entire head of hair until you have filled in enough small clusters to give the effect of thick hair.\r\n\r\nApply pressure to your pencil while doing this, in an alternating fashion, so the strokes are not even, nor evenly placed. Make some strokes longer than others, some shorter, as well as applying more pressure to some strokes and less to others. This will give your hair a more realistic feel to it.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/07-how-to-draw-a-guy-face-and-hair-details.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3869\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/07-how-to-draw-a-guy-face-and-hair-details-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow we can start adding some other details of the eyes, such as shading. While shading the pupils, keep the small circle for the highlight bright and free of the dark color. This adds to the natural effect of reflection of the eye. Keep the center portion of the pupil dark, and then shade the iris slightly lighter. We can also now draw subtle indications of the man’s eyelashes.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/08-how-to-draw-a-guy-pupils-and-eyelashes.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3870\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/08-how-to-draw-a-guy-pupils-and-eyelashes-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Draw Below the Head</h2>\r\nLet’s bring our focus to the area below the man’s head now. We’ll start framing the neck and torso. Look at the reference photo to get an idea of the shape of the neckline.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/09-how-to-draw-a-guy-shoulder-and-neckline.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3871\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/09-how-to-draw-a-guy-shoulder-and-neckline-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDraw some of the lines on the man’s neck that form as he turns his head.\r\n\r\nSince we are finished with the box for the man’s head, we can erase that at this point.\r\n\r\nContinue to work on the guy’s shirt. Go over the area of the shoulder, and place more lines that will give a rounded effect to the top of the shoulder. Look for seams and folds and creases in the man’s shirt and draw those, as well as the slight curve we see along the guy’s spine.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/10-how-to-draw-a-guy-seams-and-folds.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3872\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/10-how-to-draw-a-guy-seams-and-folds-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Work on the Arm</h2>\r\nAfter completing the folds in the man’s shirt, draw the basic outline of the man’s arm. The point where the man’s hand is holding the handle of the paint roller is align to where his shoulder is.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/11-how-to-draw-a-guy-arm-and-hand-basic-shape.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3873\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/11-how-to-draw-a-guy-arm-and-hand-basic-shape-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNext draw a long rectangular shape along the top of the big guide box for the paint roller. Soften up the corners of the rectangle to give it a more rounded, roller-like shape. Then, start to form the metal part of the paint roller’s handle that will lead from the roller to the plastic part of the handle.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/12-how-to-draw-a-guy-handle-and-roller-cover.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3874\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/12-how-to-draw-a-guy-handle-and-roller-cover-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAdd some detail into the roller itself to bring out some of its fuzzy texture. Similarly, with the metal part of the handle, draw a line inside, partially running the length of the metal to depict shininess. Then begin forming the shape characteristic of the plastic part of the handle.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/13-how-to-draw-a-guy-paint-roller.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3875\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/13-how-to-draw-a-guy-paint-roller-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nUse the basic outline of the hand we drew to start forming the fingers, thumb, and knuckles. Since the fingers are bent away from us, there’s not too much to see as far as the fingers are concerned. Still, we can draw some light indications of shadow to add form to the part of the hand we do see.\r\n\r\nMake short, curved strokes to show where the knuckles are on the hand, and extend the index finger further toward the left than the knuckles. Remember, you should have three main bumps for knuckles, as your fourth finger is the index finger, which is slightly extended holding the handle. The thumb angles around the handle to the right, and the thumb and index finger create a V-design.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/14-how-to-draw-a-guy-hand.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3876\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/14-how-to-draw-a-guy-hand-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nKeep working your way down the wrist and forearm to better define the shape of the arm. Go over the arm and add in some additional curving to the area in the forearm to indicate the muscle. Outline the curve of the elbow going around the arm to create the proper contour.\r\n\r\nThen finish drawing the man’s sleeve. Add in the lines for the bottom of the shirt sleeve, and keep these at approximately a 40-degree angle. Extend the lines beyond the edge of the arm to show dimension and depth to the shirt sleeve.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/15-how-to-draw-a-guy-arm-and-sleeve.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3877\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/15-how-to-draw-a-guy-arm-and-sleeve-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Shade and Finish Up</h2>\r\nNow that we are done with the remaining guidelines, we can start to erase them. Clean up your drawing of stray lines carefully with your eraser, and carefully sweep away stray eraser pieces without touching your drawing so that you do not smear the drawing.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/16-how-to-draw-a-guy-erase-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3878\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/16-how-to-draw-a-guy-erase-guidelines-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\nNow it’s time to start looking at some final details.\r\n\r\nStarting at the back edge of the sleeve detail, draw light and irregular lines downward to indicate the seam edge of the shirt. These lines should be in short sections, two lines slightly separated, similar to the edge of the shirt, but much lighter and broken so they give the impression of folds in the fabric.\r\n\r\nAdd in contour lines going back and forth across these, darkening one or two where they cross over the seam here and there.\r\n\r\nFocus on the area under the man’s arm and shade the area where the guy’s arm is casting a shadow onto his shirt.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/17-how-to-draw-a-guy-seam-details-and-shadow.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3879\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/17-how-to-draw-a-guy-seam-details-and-shadow-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDraw a light outline for the shape of the paint on the wall. Very lightly start to shade in the area on the wall that the roller has just painted, adding in a few horizontal lines in the same direction of the roller. Draw the lines right over to his face to make it appear that the paint goes beyond his face behind him. This will add depth to the drawing.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/18-how-to-draw-a-guy-paint-on-wall.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3880\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/18-how-to-draw-a-guy-paint-on-wall-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nFind some of the darker spots on the man’s hair and darken those areas up with more shading as needed. Add in short strokes to create more depth and dimension with darker tone. Lightly shade other areas of the man’s face and neck, notably under his chin.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/19-how-to-draw-a-guy-darker-tones.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3881\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/19-how-to-draw-a-guy-darker-tones-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nLook for other areas that need additional shading, such as on the paint handle, on the wall next to his arm where is arm is casting a shadow, and on his arm.\r\n\r\nStart adding value to the man’s shirt. We’ll use a light crosshatch pattern by sketching lines at an angle in one direction then sketching more lines over these in the opposite direction. Continue applying addition layers of this crosshatch pattern over the man’s shirt to darken the value of his shirt.\r\n\r\nPay attention to which parts of the man’s shirt need to be darkened even further with shadow and shade in those areas.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/20-how-to-draw-a-guy-hatch-crosshatch.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3882\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/20-how-to-draw-a-guy-hatch-crosshatch-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nTake a final look at the overall drawing. Add any finishing touches you feel are needed.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/final-scan-cropped-how-to-draw-a-guy-painting-the-wall.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3964\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/final-scan-cropped-how-to-draw-a-guy-painting-the-wall-476x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"476\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\nThat completes this tutorial of how to draw a guy painting the wall!

You can review the individual drawings as I go step-by-step to drawing the man, and you can also draw along by watching the video. Stop the video when you want, and review the drawing shots.\r\n\r\nUse this reference photo of the man painting the wall for this tutorial so you can follow along step-by-step and sketch in details as they appear in the photos below.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_3884\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"517\"]<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/reference-photo-how-to-draw-a-guy-painting-the-wall.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-3884 size-medium\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/reference-photo-how-to-draw-a-guy-painting-the-wall-517x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"517\" height=\"600\" /></a> <center><b> © <a href=\"https://www.dreamstime.com/godfer_info\">Godfer</a> | <a href=\"https://www.dreamstime.com/\">Dreamstime.com</a></b></center>[/caption]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWhen you are choosing what to draw, many times a complicated pose can make you shy away, but this drawing of a man painting a wall will show you that even a person in action can be tackled easily and with impressive results when you follow along with some simple step-by-step actions to take in your drawing. Go slowly and look carefully at each image.\r\n<h2>Set up Box Guidelines</h2>\r\nAs you can see in this first image, I have drawn three different-sized rectangles that represent the outer framework of the body of the man we are drawing. I took some measurements of the reference photo in order to draw the boxes in proper proportion to one another which will, in turn, maintain proper proportions of our final drawing.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/01-how-to-draw-a-guy-rectangles.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3863\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/01-how-to-draw-a-guy-rectangles-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\nIn the following directions, I’ll indicate the approximate measurements you’ll need for each box for a drawing the same size as mine. If you want to make a larger drawing, simply scale up as much as needed.\r\n\r\nFirst, draw a small rectangle near the top of the page that will be for the man’s head. This box should be 2 ½ inches tall by about 1 7/8 inches wide.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/01a-how-to-draw-a-guy-rectangles.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3951\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/01a-how-to-draw-a-guy-rectangles-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nBelow this box but with a half-inch overlap, and pushed an eighth of an inch to the right, draw a taller rectangular box for the man’s torso. This box should be 4 inches tall and 2 ½ inches wide.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/01b-how-to-draw-a-guy-rectangles.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3952\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/01b-how-to-draw-a-guy-rectangles-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nFor the third box, draw a large square to the left of the first two boxes, with a 1 5/16 inch overlap of the torso box as shown. Also, push the bottom of this box up about 3/8 of an inch higher than the bottom of the torso box. The top of this box will serve as the top of the paint roller and the bottom of the box will be where the guy’s elbow will touch.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/01c-how-to-draw-a-guy-rectangles.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3953\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/01c-how-to-draw-a-guy-rectangles-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow that we have these boxes, we can begin drawing some basic shapes inside.\r\n<h2>Draw Guidelines for the Face</h2>\r\nStart with the box on the top and draw an outline within this box for the head. Look at the reference photograph to shape the head and again at the reference photo to get an idea of the angle at which the head is turned.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02a-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3954\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02a-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWe’re going to begin adding some guidelines to this head to help <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/how-to-draw-faces-tips-techniques-and-short-tutorials/\">place the facial features</a>. Getting these proportional guidelines lightly in place will help you position the facial features correctly, so look carefully at where these are placed and duplicate these in your drawing.\r\n\r\nDraw a vertical line that will run through the center of the man’s face. This vertical line should also follow the curvature of the head.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02b-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3955\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02b-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThen draw a horizontal line, again curved across the center. This guideline will help us place the eyes. Draw tiny tick marks along this guideline to place the inner and outer corner of each eye.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02c-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3956\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02c-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNext approximately halfway between the eye guideline and the chin should be a mark for the bottom of the nose. About a third of the way from this point to the chin should be another guideline for the mouth.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02d-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3957\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02d-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow we’ll focus on some vertical guidelines under where the eyes will be. A guideline from the center of the eye downward will be for the corner of the mouth. Another guideline from the inner corner of the eye downward will be for the outer edge of the lower part of the nose.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02e-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3958\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02e-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNext draw two more horizontal guidelines above the line for the eyes. One will be for the eyebrows and the other for the hairline.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02f-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3959\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02f-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nFinally extend the nose guideline all the way across the head. This line and the eye guideline will help to place the ear.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02g-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3960\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02g-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Draw the Eyes and the Nose</h2>\r\nNow let’s move on to drawing the facial features that accompany these guidelines. Begin with the eyes and draw the outline. Then draw the details of the eyes within the outlines of the eyes, such as the pupil, the iris, the highlights, the lines under the eyes, the eyelids, and so on.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/03a-how-to-draw-a-guy-eyes-and-nose.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3961\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/03a-how-to-draw-a-guy-eyes-and-nose-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAfter the eyes come <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/drawing-eyebrows-like-a-boss/\">the eyebrows</a>. Use the guideline that’s just above the eye and draw the eyebrows on this guideline. Look at the reference photo to observe the thickness and curvature of the eyebrow around the eye, and curve appropriately in your drawing.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/03b-how-to-draw-a-guy-eyes-and-nose.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3962\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/03b-how-to-draw-a-guy-eyes-and-nose-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAfter the eyes is the nose. Look at the reference photograph to judge how far the tip of the nose should protrude from the face and where the tip of the nose should align with the man’s right eye. Carefully draw the nostril and bottom of the nose. The wing of the nose should line up with the inner corner of the man’s eye.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/03c-how-to-draw-a-guy-eyes-and-nose.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3963\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/03c-how-to-draw-a-guy-eyes-and-nose-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Draw More of the Face and Hair</h2>\r\nUse the guideline drawn earlier for the mouth to begin drawing the guy’s top lip. Also remember the guideline that falls from the center of the eye to help place the corner of the mouth. The man’s mouth is slightly open, so make sure to draw some of the visible teeth before moving on to the bottom lip.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/04-how-to-draw-a-guy-mouth.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3866\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/04-how-to-draw-a-guy-mouth-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\nAt this point, use a <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/what-is-a-kneaded-eraser-heres-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/\">kneaded eraser</a> to carefully erase some of the guidelines around the facial features. Then, shape the outline of the face. Draw the contours around the eye, cheek, mouth and chin. Add details around the mouth where needed.\r\n\r\nAdd some volume to the eyebrows with quick, loose strokes of the pencil. Refer to the photo to obtain just the right thickness.\r\n\r\nStart <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/listen-up-to-learn-how-to-draw-ears/\">shaping the ear</a>, which should fall roughly between the guideline for the eyes and the guideline for the nose. Use the reference photo to draw the shapes within the ear.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/05-how-to-draw-a-guy-face-outline-eyebrows-ear.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3867\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/05-how-to-draw-a-guy-face-outline-eyebrows-ear-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\nErase the guidelines of the face, since we are finished with those.\r\n\r\nNow using the photo as your guide, draw in the rough outline of the hair, being careful not to make the lines look too smooth. Go back and forth over your original outline with short strokes to make the appearance of strands of hair. This will add to the realism.\r\n\r\nOn the top of the head, place the strokes going up and away from the face, to indicate an area with the hair is loose and a bit longer on top of his head.\r\n\r\nAdd sideburns down along the side of the ear and then follow up and around the ear, bringing the hair closer as you get toward the top of the ear line.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/06-how-to-draw-a-guy-hair-outline.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3868\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/06-how-to-draw-a-guy-hair-outline-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nStart putting details in the outline of the hair to better indicate the flow and direction of the man’s hair, including some light shading in some of the darker areas.\r\n\r\nWorking within the overall hairline you have created, draw clusters of short back and forth strokes to create small groupings of hair and shadow that make the hair look like it is wavy and full. Do this over the entire head of hair until you have filled in enough small clusters to give the effect of thick hair.\r\n\r\nApply pressure to your pencil while doing this, in an alternating fashion, so the strokes are not even, nor evenly placed. Make some strokes longer than others, some shorter, as well as applying more pressure to some strokes and less to others. This will give your hair a more realistic feel to it.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/07-how-to-draw-a-guy-face-and-hair-details.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3869\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/07-how-to-draw-a-guy-face-and-hair-details-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow we can start adding some other details of the eyes, such as shading. While shading the pupils, keep the small circle for the highlight bright and free of the dark color. This adds to the natural effect of reflection of the eye. Keep the center portion of the pupil dark, and then shade the iris slightly lighter. We can also now draw subtle indications of the man’s eyelashes.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/08-how-to-draw-a-guy-pupils-and-eyelashes.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3870\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/08-how-to-draw-a-guy-pupils-and-eyelashes-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Draw Below the Head</h2>\r\nLet’s bring our focus to the area below the man’s head now. We’ll start framing the neck and torso. Look at the reference photo to get an idea of the shape of the neckline.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/09-how-to-draw-a-guy-shoulder-and-neckline.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3871\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/09-how-to-draw-a-guy-shoulder-and-neckline-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDraw some of the lines on the man’s neck that form as he turns his head.\r\n\r\nSince we are finished with the box for the man’s head, we can erase that at this point.\r\n\r\nContinue to work on the guy’s shirt. Go over the area of the shoulder, and place more lines that will give a rounded effect to the top of the shoulder. Look for <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/picture-perfect-clothing-a-beginners-guide-to-sketching-clothes/\">seams and folds and creases</a> in the man’s shirt and draw those, as well as the slight curve we see along the guy’s spine.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/10-how-to-draw-a-guy-seams-and-folds.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3872\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/10-how-to-draw-a-guy-seams-and-folds-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Work on the Arm</h2>\r\nAfter completing the folds in the man’s shirt, draw the basic outline of the man’s arm. The point where the man’s hand is holding the handle of the paint roller is align to where his shoulder is.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/11-how-to-draw-a-guy-arm-and-hand-basic-shape.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3873\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/11-how-to-draw-a-guy-arm-and-hand-basic-shape-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNext draw a long rectangular shape along the top of the big guide box for the paint roller. Soften up the corners of the rectangle to give it a more rounded, roller-like shape. Then, start to form the metal part of the paint roller’s handle that will lead from the roller to the plastic part of the handle.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/12-how-to-draw-a-guy-handle-and-roller-cover.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3874\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/12-how-to-draw-a-guy-handle-and-roller-cover-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAdd some detail into the roller itself to bring out some of its fuzzy texture. Similarly, with the metal part of the handle, draw a line inside, partially running the length of the metal to depict shininess. Then begin forming the shape characteristic of the plastic part of the handle.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/13-how-to-draw-a-guy-paint-roller.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3875\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/13-how-to-draw-a-guy-paint-roller-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nUse the basic outline of the hand we drew to start forming the fingers, thumb, and knuckles. Since the fingers are bent away from us, there’s not too much to see as far as the fingers are concerned. Still, we can draw some light indications of shadow to add form to the part of the hand we do see.\r\n\r\nMake short, curved strokes to show where the knuckles are on the hand, and extend the index finger further toward the left than the knuckles. Remember, you should have three main bumps for knuckles, as your fourth finger is the index finger, which is slightly extended holding the handle. The thumb angles around the handle to the right, and the thumb and index finger create a V-design.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/14-how-to-draw-a-guy-hand.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3876\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/14-how-to-draw-a-guy-hand-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nKeep working your way down the wrist and forearm to better define the shape of the arm. Go over the arm and add in some additional curving to the area in the forearm to indicate the muscle. Outline the curve of the elbow going around the arm to create the proper contour.\r\n\r\nThen finish drawing the man’s sleeve. Add in the lines for the bottom of the shirt sleeve, and keep these at approximately a 40-degree angle. Extend the lines beyond the edge of the arm to show dimension and depth to the shirt sleeve.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/15-how-to-draw-a-guy-arm-and-sleeve.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3877\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/15-how-to-draw-a-guy-arm-and-sleeve-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Shade and Finish Up</h2>\r\nNow that we are done with the remaining guidelines, we can start to erase them. Clean up your drawing of stray lines carefully with your eraser, and carefully sweep away stray eraser pieces without touching your drawing so that you do not smear the drawing.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/16-how-to-draw-a-guy-erase-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3878\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/16-how-to-draw-a-guy-erase-guidelines-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\nNow it’s time to start looking at some final details.\r\n\r\nStarting at the back edge of the sleeve detail, draw light and irregular lines downward to indicate the seam edge of the shirt. These lines should be in short sections, two lines slightly separated, similar to the edge of the shirt, but much lighter and broken so they give the impression of folds in the fabric.\r\n\r\nAdd in contour lines going back and forth across these, darkening one or two where they cross over the seam here and there.\r\n\r\nFocus on the area under the man’s arm and shade the area where the guy’s arm is casting a shadow onto his shirt.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/17-how-to-draw-a-guy-seam-details-and-shadow.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3879\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/17-how-to-draw-a-guy-seam-details-and-shadow-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDraw a light outline for the shape of the paint on the wall. Very lightly start to shade in the area on the wall that the roller has just painted, adding in a few horizontal lines in the same direction of the roller. Draw the lines right over to his face to make it appear that the paint goes beyond his face behind him. This will add depth to the drawing.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/18-how-to-draw-a-guy-paint-on-wall.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3880\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/18-how-to-draw-a-guy-paint-on-wall-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nFind some of the darker spots on the man’s hair and darken those areas up with more shading as needed. Add in short strokes to create more depth and dimension with darker tone. Lightly shade other areas of the man’s face and neck, notably under his chin.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/19-how-to-draw-a-guy-darker-tones.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3881\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/19-how-to-draw-a-guy-darker-tones-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nLook for other areas that need additional shading, such as on the paint handle, on the wall next to his arm where is arm is casting a shadow, and on his arm.\r\n\r\nStart adding value to the man’s shirt. We’ll use a light crosshatch pattern by sketching lines at an angle in one direction then sketching more lines over these in the opposite direction. Continue applying addition layers of this crosshatch pattern over the man’s shirt to darken the value of his shirt.\r\n\r\nPay attention to which parts of the man’s shirt need to be darkened even further with shadow and shade in those areas.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/20-how-to-draw-a-guy-hatch-crosshatch.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3882\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/20-how-to-draw-a-guy-hatch-crosshatch-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nTake a final look at the overall drawing. Add any finishing touches you feel are needed.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/final-scan-cropped-how-to-draw-a-guy-painting-the-wall.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3964\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/final-scan-cropped-how-to-draw-a-guy-painting-the-wall-476x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"476\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\nThat completes this tutorial of how to draw a guy painting the wall!

People are commonplace, ever present, a subject of constant fascination. We see them beautifully depicted by the Masters, simplified as superheroes, and used as a canvas of infinite imagination by concept artists and designers.\r\n\r\nBut drawing people is hard. This is because people are themselves made up of multiple smaller, yet no less intricate, pieces. It can be incredibly difficult, but with a little patience and perseverance, we will work and learn together and grow as artists. Before you know it, you’ll be drawing people as though it were second nature.\r\n\r\nIn this tutorial, I’m going to show you one helpful process you can use to draw an ear. At first glance ears appear to be a complex series of twisting and intertwining shapes. It can be intimidating. Many artists, myself included, have a tendency to oversimplify the ear or cover it up with elaborate hair-styles.\r\n\r\nBut the ear itself is nowhere near as complex as it seems. Covering the ear up or oversimplifying also means that the artist is missing out on an opportunity to instill the subject with greater personality. That’s why in this tutorial we’re going to take things one step further. We’re drawing an ear with piercings.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_3846\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"480\"]<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/ref-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-3846 size-medium\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/ref-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings-480x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"600\" /></a> <center><b> © <a href=\"https://www.dreamstime.com/forca_info\">Forca</a> | <a href=\"https://www.dreamstime.com/\">Dreamstime.com</a></b></center>[/caption]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nPlease work alongside me throughout this tutorial. Take your time and work at your own pace, but try and do each step as you read through it. Don’t be afraid to stop and take your time with any section. Work through each step as best as you can and then move on to the next. I will guide you with tips, advice, and a detailed explanation of the process.\r\n\r\nThe first thing that we need to get started is our tools.\r\n<h2>Setup</h2>\r\nThough I will next outline a small selection of specific tools for this project, all you really need to follow along is a comfortable, well-lit place to work, a sketchbook or other drawing paper, a pencil, and an eraser. If you have access to additional tools that may help you, please feel free to use them.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>...8x10” sketchbook (medium weight, lightly textured)</li>\r\n 	<li>...5mm Graphite Stick for block-in and sketching</li>\r\n 	<li>...HB Pencil for the mid-tones</li>\r\n 	<li>...2B Pencil for dark values and shadows</li>\r\n 	<li>...0.5mm mechanical pencil for details</li>\r\n 	<li>...kneaded eraser for all things erasable</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/step-materials-how-to-draw-an-ear.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3847\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/step-materials-how-to-draw-an-ear-420x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\nIf you do not have access to all of these tools, have no fear. All you really need is a pencil and paper and you can follow along. So gather your tools, find a comfortable spot, and let’s get started!\r\n<h2>The Block-In</h2>\r\nThe block-in is probably the most important stage in any drawing. It doesn’t matter if it’s just a quick sketch or a Master Work, the block-in will ultimately determine the final result of the drawing. Unfortunately, it’s also one of the more challenging and least exciting aspects of any drawing. In fact, I wouldn’t blame you for wanting to skip it altogether.\r\n\r\nDon’t.\r\n\r\nTake the time required to do the block-in and do it well. This is an essential step and any mistakes made here will carry on throughout the rest of the drawing. A good measure to use at this stage is this: do you like what you see? If you do, great. If not, try and figure out what it is that you don’t like. Don’t expect it to suddenly become better in a later stage of the drawing because everything else you do is only going to be built upon what you have done in this stage.\r\n<h3>The Largest Shape</h3>\r\nA good practice to get into when drawing almost anything is to start with the largest shapes. Again, I know it’s tempting to just choose a point and start sketching, but in art it’s often best to work from large to small.\r\n\r\nLooking at the reference image, think about what the largest shape is. The shape that encompasses everything you want to draw. I’m not just talking about the shape of the ear, I’m talking about the simplest shape that both the ear and the earrings create. Once you think you’ve got a good idea as to what that largest shape is, start sketching.\r\n\r\nBegin by using a 5mm graphite stick to lightly sketch out the largest form. If you do not have something similar just use your softest pencil -- HB, H, 2H, etc. are all good choices -- or simply work as lightly as you can with what you have available. Hold the tool between your thumb and forefinger and, drawing from your elbow, sketch out the largest shape using a series of straight lines.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/01-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3835\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/01-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings-420x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\nTIP: Using straight lines will make it easier to simplify this large shape. Draw from point to point, almost like connect the dots, along the outermost edges of the shape. We can always come back later and make it nice and curvy.\r\n\r\nThis shape encompasses everything that will be contained within the drawing. This means the earrings as well as the ear itself. The shape represents the outermost boundaries of the image and from here on out everything you draw should be contained within.\r\n\r\nIf, in future steps, you find yourself drawing outside this initial shape, take a moment to reevaluate your proportions. Everything should fit within this shape. Take your time. Compare angles and proportions regularly.\r\n<h3>Draw an Ear</h3>\r\nNow that we’ve established our largest shape we can begin <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/listen-up-to-learn-how-to-draw-ears/\">sketching the ear</a> itself. Still using a soft graphite or light touch and still drawing from the elbow. Take your time here. Try to make broad sweeping lines, not little repeating hash marks. Even if it isn’t completely accurate a single line will always appear more confident than a series of hesitant strokes.\r\n\r\nAt this point we can feel free to erase anything that we feel isn’t working in order to retry it and get it just right. Throughout this stage you can continue to make adjustments both to the ear itself and to the largest shape we’ve already drawn. Use the process of sketching the ear within the largest shape to make adjustments to your proportions.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3836\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings-420x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\nTIP: At this stage erasing is free. Don’t rush. Even step away from the drawing for a few minutes and come back with fresh eyes. Erase what needs to be fixed and make those changes while you still can.\r\n\r\nRegularly compare your image to the reference. Find various specific points on the ear and compare them relative to each other. How far away are they? What internal shapes or patterns do they make? Do they line up with any other important features of the ear? These questions will help you refine your proportions and get a more accurate sketch.\r\n<h3>Blocking-in the Piercings</h3>\r\nNow that we have our ear nicely sketched out, we can start blocking-in the earrings themselves. Begin by drawing a simple ellipse to figure out the placement and proportions of each piercing. This will also help you to establish the perspective of the shape.\r\n\r\nOnce you’re satisfied we can begin sketching out the larger shapes of the earrings themselves. Keep it as simple as possible at this stage. Lines and cylinders only.\r\n\r\nDon’t worry about the fact that not all the earrings are perfect ellipses. At this point simplifying the form is far more important and it will help you find placement and proportions more accurately.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/03-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3837\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/03-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings-420x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\nNotice that in the final block-in for the piercings, they are simplified to such a degree that some individual shapes are combined into one larger shape. At this stage the details don’t matter. Get the larger shapes right and the details will follow.\r\n\r\nTIP: When working with any complex form ignore the detail to start with. Try to find the biggest shapes and the simple geometric forms (cylinder, sphere, cube) that make up more complex objects.\r\n<h2>Basic Shadows</h2>\r\nNow that our sketch is complete and we’re happy with it we can begin to lay in some of the basic shadows.\r\n\r\nTIP: This is the point of no return. If you’re not happy with the sketch keep refining it until you are. From here on out it’s going to become more and more difficult to fix any early mistakes.\r\n\r\nThough we’ve blocked-in our earrings at this stage we’re not going to worry too much about them for now, especially when it comes to laying in the shadow shapes. We’ll deal with the shadows on the earrings in more detail in a future step. First, we have one of the most important elements when it comes to defining the form of your subject.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/04-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3838\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/04-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings-420x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n<h3>Core Shadows</h3>\r\nThe core shadows will be some of the darkest shadows in the drawing. They occur at the point where the form begins to turn away from the light.\r\n\r\nAt this stage, we’re still using our 5mm graphite stick, though we’re allowing the values to build up a great deal more. This is only partially done by applying greater pressure. Be careful about pressing too hard. You may build up a much darker value far faster than you want. Instead go over the shadow area multiple times, layering in darker values bit by bit.\r\n\r\nFor now, think about the form. Think about the direction of the light. Where the form begins to turn away from the light is where we will put our core shadows.\r\n\r\nTo draw my core shadows, I usually make sure that I have a flat side on whatever tool I’m using. To get a flat side, you can find a rough surface, concrete, wood, or sandpaper, and shave the graphite down on one side. A small pocket knife could also do the trick. Just use proper knife safety and always work with the blade moving away from you.\r\n\r\nOnce you have a flat edge to your graphite, take hold of the pencil gently between your thumb and forefinger and, using your whole arm, fill in the core shadows. If you’re not used to drawing this way or with the flat edge you may wish to do some practice on a separate sheet of paper. Practice creating soft lines that go from thick to thin. Do this with both ‘S’ and ‘C’ curves. Once you have a good feel for it return to the drawing and try it for real.\r\n\r\nThe core shadow itself can range from soft and wide where the form turns gently, to thin and sharp where the form turns more quickly away from the light. Keep in mind that the core shadow should never be completely sharp or hard edged. It can come close, but there should always be a little softness to it.\r\n<h3>Shadow Shapes</h3>\r\nHaving established our core shadows, we can begin <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/take-the-stress-out-of-shading-with-these-pencil-shading-techniques/\">filling in our shadow shapes</a>. There are a couple of different ways to approach this. One method is to begin by softly outlining the larger shapes of the shadows themselves wherever you see them. However, if you feel confident enough you can start by filling in the areas directly.\r\n\r\nIf you choose to outline the shadow shapes first, try to avoid making hard lines or sharp edges. The one exception to this rule is in the case of cast shadows.\r\n\r\nCast shadows are like core shadows in that they are among the darkest areas of value in the drawing. Cast shadows also helps to describe an object\'s form as they will bend and curve along whatever surface they are cast upon. Generally speaking, cast shadows will have a much sharper edge.\r\n\r\nTo draw shadows shapes, switch from the 5mm graphite stick to the 2B pencil. Still holding the pencil between your thumb and forefinger, and drawing from your elbow as much as possible, begin carefully establishing the shadow shape using the method of your choice.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/05-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3839\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/05-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings-420x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\nDo your best to use a uniform value at this stage. For now, ignore any variations in value that you see. It should be dark, but still lighter than the core shadows. This would also be a good time to darken your core shadows if you feel they are still too light. Feel free to lightly fill in the shadow shapes on the earrings if you choose, but we will be tackling the earrings in greater detail in the next step.\r\n\r\nTIP: Having trouble seeing the values and where the major shadow shapes are? Try squinting. Squinting at the image limits the visual information that can enter your eyes and only the highest contrast areas will be visible. The darker areas you see will be your shadow shapes.\r\n<h2>The Piercings</h2>\r\nNow that we have our basic shadows in place we can return to working on the earrings themselves. In this section, we will finish blocking in any details and establish the value range of the metal piercings. At the completion of this section, all important elements of the piercings will be in place.\r\n<h3>Refining the Earrings</h3>\r\nIn the early stages of this tutorial we simply established the largest shapes of the earrings, their placement and proportions. Now it is time to refine those larger shapes. During this time, switch back and forth between your 2B and mechanical pencil as needed.\r\n\r\nBroadly speaking, use your mechanical pencil whenever you need to define the details and basic shadow lay in, and switch to a 2B when you need to emphasize the darker values a bit more.\r\n\r\nAt this stage feel free to draw from your wrist, holding the pencil in whatever manner is most comfortable.\r\n\r\nTIP: If you’re drawing in a sketchbook consider rotating the page to get the best angle on whatever details you’re drawing. Look for positions that allow the natural arc of your wrist’s range of movement to do the work for you. If you find yourself drawing in such a way that feels cramped or unnatural it’s a good bet that there’s a better angle you could be working from.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/06-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3840\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/06-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings-420x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\nJust like with the ear, begin by finding the core shadows and darkening them to a greater degree. Fill in the shadow shapes as best as you can as well. Pay special attention to the nature of the material. Notice how the metal transitions much more quickly from dark to light and has a greater contrast between dark and light than the ear does.\r\n\r\nOnce you established your basic shadow shapes, begin carefully filling in the details. Remember to work from large to small.\r\n\r\nIn the image above, you can clearly see the steps that are used. The earrings at the top of the ear are virtually complete. At the middle of the ear you can see how the largest shapes are broken into smaller shapes, ready for details. Finally, at the bottom and left side of the ear you can see the earrings virtually unchanged from the previous steps.\r\n\r\nAt this stage, we are only concerned with the secondary shapes and how the light affects them. While you may be tempted to draw every detail you see, try to refrain from doing so. Focus on how the larger shapes we’ve already established break down into smaller shapes. Then think about how the light and dark values apply to them.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/07-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3841\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/07-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings-420x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\nAt this point we’re simply repeating steps already taken. There are quite a few piercings and a lot of detail to consider. Remember to take your time. If you find yourself getting fatigued, step away from the drawing for 15 minutes. Get some water, stretch, or go for a short walk. Then come back and continue.\r\n\r\nTIP: Don’t worry about capturing every detail. Look for ways to simplify the detail or even get rid of it completely, especially in darker areas. Too many details will make things look overcrowded, the eye won’t know what to look at. Be selective and save the most detail for the areas that have the highest contrast.\r\n\r\nCompare the two images in this section. Note the progression between the two. With each earring, we’re going through the same steps. Major Shapes, Secondary Shapes and Values, Details and Detailed Values. Make sure that you complete each step before moving on. If you try to add details before you’ve established your secondary shapes and major values, you’ll only find yourself erasing a great deal of work later on.\r\n<h2>Refining the Values</h2>\r\nAt this point in the drawing almost every important element and relationship is in place. From here on out the changes that we make will be relatively minor. No more major changes, no more additions. You wanted to draw an ear? Well at this point you’ve essentially done so. From here on out it’s all about refinement and process of taking the drawing to completion.\r\n\r\nAt this point frustration can set in. Especially if we didn’t spend as much time getting our proportions and relationships right in the beginning. This is where those things will really start to matter.\r\n\r\nI know all too well the feeling of looking at a drawing that has reached this stage and feeling like a failure. There’s a little voice inside your head that says “Don’t bother finishing this. You can do better if you just start over.”  While there are some circumstances where a drawing is beyond redemption, we are much more likely to think it’s true than for it to actually be true.\r\n\r\nFor now, ignore that voice. Especially if you’re just beginning to learn how to draw. Ignore it. Shut it out completely. Finishing a drawing is a skill in its own right and is every bit as important as anything we’ve done so far. So finish it, evaluate it honestly, and then draw some more.\r\n<h3>Occlusion Shadows</h3>\r\nOcclusion shadows are easily overlooked or easily simplified. But they are among the most important shadows in any drawing, right up there with the core shadows when it comes to describing form.\r\n\r\nOcclusion shadows occur where the form overlaps itself or where two planes come together creating a crease or crevice. If you want to see an example of occlusion shadows in real life, then simply hold your hand flat and straight under a harsh light.\r\n\r\nYou can still see all the little creases of your knuckles, right? Even though it’s under direct light. This is because as your skin folds together there are places where it’s so close together that even direct light can’t fully penetrate it and we see a shadow.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/08-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3842\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/08-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings-420x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\nOcclusion shadows can be a bit tricky. Not that the technique is difficult, but simply because of the mindset required. It can be tempting to just outline everything but you must resist that temptation.\r\n\r\nOcclusion shadows occur where two planes in the form either overlap or come very close together creating a crease or crevice. Look for such locations.\r\n\r\nAt this point we’re still using a 2B pencil. Drawing from your elbow and shoulder carefully, use your pencil to darken any areas where forms overlap. Do this for both ear and the piercings wherever two forms overlap or come in close contact.\r\n\r\nTIP: Use your best judgment when it comes to adding occlusion shadows. If you feel like the image would look better if there were a nice thick black line in a place where there wouldn’t naturally be one, give it a try. Exaggeration and stylization are all tools in the artist toolbox. The degree to which you use them is determined by what your ultimate goals for the drawing are.\r\n<h3>Dark Values</h3>\r\nWe continue to refine our drawing by reinforcing our dark values. This is where we get to go crazy adding all kinds of variations to the dark values. Take time to layer in all the really dark darks, work to add texture to the ear by showing the different values and shades that play across it.\r\n\r\nStill using a 2B pencil, begin to add variation to the darker values. Once again, I would say that you should feel free to draw however is most comfortable. Try to avoid shading with the point of the pencil directly, but other than that use whatever technique you find works the best for you.\r\n\r\nStart by looking for the darkest areas and filling them in. If needed, reinforce some of the core shadows at this stage as well. Proceed slowing and don’t press to hard. It’s all about looking for the variations in values and gradually layering in those darks.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/09-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3843\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/09-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings-420x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\nTIP: Be careful not to fill in areas of reflected light. The reflected light being the softer shadow on the inside of the core shadows. Most noticeable in this image at the top curve and inner curves of the ear. The combination of cast shadow and reflected light are some of the strongest contributors to the illusion of form.\r\n<h3>Mid-Tones</h3>\r\nNow using your lightest pencil (such as an HB) or lightest touch, begin filling in the half tones. Do this as lightly and carefully as possible. However, since almost all the remaining white space is mid-tone, feel free to fill it with a light uniform value in the same way you filled in your shadow shapes. Just remember that your lightest darks should still be darker than your darkest lights.\r\n\r\nOnce you’ve filled in your base mid-tones, you can begin working on some of the darker mid-tones. Give careful consideration to the forms. Ask yourself “Which way is the form turning?” and try to shade by making strokes parallel to the form. This will serve to reinforce its three-dimentionality as all your pencil strokes will be moving in the same direction as the form itself.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/10-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3844\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/10-how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings-420x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\nBeginning artists tend to think of the eraser only as a tool for getting rid of mistakes. This could not be farther from the truth. The eraser is as much a tool of creation as the pencil is, you just have to know how to use it.\r\n\r\nIn this instance, we’re going to <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/what-is-a-kneaded-eraser-heres-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/\">use our eraser to give our image highlights</a>. Take your eraser and carefully knock back some of the mid-tones wherever you see highlights. Be careful not to erase too much. The highlights should be placed strategically, wherever you feel they will create the most contrast to bring out the form.\r\n\r\nTIP: The highlights should be softer on the ear and harder on the earrings. Remember, different materials reflect light in different ways.\r\n<h2>The Final Refinement</h2>\r\nAt this stage, we could call the image done. However, usually at this point we as artists have been staring at the same piece of paper for so long that we almost don’t even see it anymore. Do yourself a favor at this stage and walk away for a few hours. This will allow you to come back and look at it again with fresh eyes, and fresh eyes will allow you to see things that you would not otherwise see.\r\n\r\nNow is the time to double check everything. Make sure your darks are as dark as you want them, your highlights and midtones as light as you want them. Reinforce and shapes or shading that may have gotten smudged or has faded over time.\r\n\r\nIf some areas seem a bit harsh or hard edged and you want to add some soft edges or smooth transitions, use a blending tool such as a blending stump, tortillion, or tissue to carefully smudge those areas of the drawing. Do this with caution. Not everything needs to be smooth, and a nice balance of smooth and hard transitions will add contrast and create visual interest in the image.\r\n\r\nRefine until you’re happy. Check the reference constantly. Just be aware that at some point you’ll have to take that last most difficult step and, for better or worse, call it done.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3845\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/how-to-draw-an-ear-with-piercings-420x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n<h2>Conclusion</h2>\r\nWe’ve come a long way together and I hope you’ve learned as much from this experience as I have, but our journey is not over. As artists, we must continue to push ourselves forward at every opportunity and draw constantly.\r\n\r\nTo truly learn to draw an ear you cannot simply do this tutorial once. Do it twice, three times, four times. Take what you’ve learned and try to apply it without the tutorial. Draw from other reference photographs, draw ears from your imagination. Once you’ve done all that and more, come back and do this tutorial a fifth or sixth time. See for yourself the difference.\r\n\r\nAlways save your work, all of it. Not matter how bad you think it is. If it’s something you put real time and effort into, an end in and of itself, hang on to it. There is no better feeling as an artist than looking back over your past work and seeing how much you’ve grown. And there’s no worse feeling than looking back at something you abandoned in frustration and realizing that it wasn’t nearly as bad as you thought.\r\n\r\nDrawing is a skill that you must constantly develop. Never stop learning, but never stop drawing what you care about either. Or put simply, never stop drawing.\r\n\r\n<em><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Note</span>:</strong> I would like to thank artist <strong>Noble McCredy</strong> for contributing his drawings and tips for this tutorial!</em>','How to Draw an Ear with Piercings','','inherit','closed','closed','','3790-revision-v1','','','2017-10-08 18:26:30','2017-10-09 01:26:30','',3790,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/3790-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(4012,2,'2017-10-08 18:44:09','2017-10-09 01:44:09','Age and experience don\'t always have everything to do with artistic skill. Take the case of <a href=\"http://diegokoi.it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Diego Fazio</a> - a 25 year-old Italian artist. With only eight years of experience under his belt, Diego produces hyperrealistic pencil portraits of real people, capturing the details of their faces in a manner that seems not quite human. Despite the seeming impossibility, Fazio has made a career of producing such images.\r\n\r\nAs you can see below, the work done by Diego is nothing short of breathtaking, reproducing images in a manner that makes them virtually identical to a photograph. His process is intricately detailed, usually beginning with a simple line drawing and spending over two hundred hours to turn it into a completed portrait! The end product, though, is worth the wait - each image is incredibly realistic, highlighting the lack of detail that is typically present in portraiture. Even a typically realistic portrait can look subpar when compared to one of his pieces, creating a high-water mark for the human hand\'s ability to replicate what the eye can see.\r\n\r\n[gallery link=\"file\" size=\"full\" columns=\"1\" ids=\"1583,1556,1547,1548,1549,1550,1551,1552,1553,1554,1555,1557,1558,1559,1560\"]\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to art that\'s this detailed, is there really a difference between the pencil piece and photography? Is there a reason to draw by hand if you can produce an identical image mechanically? If you believe in the importance of the artistic process, the answer should be a resounding \"yes\", but it certainly gives those with an eye towards the world of art a moment to stop and think about hyperrealism.\r\n\r\nAs you progress with your own artistic endeavors, make sure that you embrace whatever it is that makes you and your artwork unique - and like Diego, find a way to stand out!\r\n\r\n<em>All images used with permission.

This is going to be the head of our frightened guy, so place it near the top of your drawing paper. Keep your hand loose when drawing the circle and move your arm from the elbow and shoulder rather than at the wrist. You don’t need to apply much pressure since these are only guidelines. We’ll be erasing them later.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/01-how-to-draw-a-guy-head.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3848\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/01-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-541x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"541\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Outlining</h2>\r\nStep 2 - Now we’ll be drawing the outline for the rest of our guy’s head and shoulders. Like the original circle, try to keep your hand loose when making these curvy shapes. These are all basic “C” shapes since we’re just outlining now. Don’t forget that you can rotate the paper to get an angle where you have more control.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02-how-to-draw-a-guy-ears-neck-shoulders.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3849\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02-how-to-draw-a-guy-ears-neck-shoulders-541x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"541\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nStep 3 - Next let’s get those hands in place over his mouth. The main part of each hand is an oval at a slight angle. They are positioned a little lower than halfway over the bottom of the head oval. Then add “C” shapes on top of those ovals for where the fingers are going to be. You can see where the arms will connect between the hands and the loose arm/shoulder shapes from before.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/03-how-to-draw-a-guy-arms-and-hands.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3850\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/03-how-to-draw-a-guy-arms-and-hands-541x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"541\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nStep 4 - Moving on, we’re going to add some <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/how-to-draw-faces-tips-techniques-and-short-tutorials/\">facial feature outlines</a>. The eyes should sit on the top of the cross hairs line from Step 1 with the eyebrows above them. The nose will sit at the bottom of the circle from Step 1. Don’t forget to also add the hairline! It should end around where the ears start.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/04-how-to-draw-a-guy-hair-eyes-nose.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3851\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/04-how-to-draw-a-guy-hair-eyes-nose-541x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"541\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nStep 5 - Here we can safely erase our guidelines from the first few steps. Then we’ll add detail to the facial features (eyes, nose, and ears) and get those fingers on properly. Think of the fingers like little oval segments between each joint. You can look at your own for reference. Remember from this view that the thumbs are mostly obscured.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/05-how-to-draw-a-guy-fingers-eyes-ears.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3852\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/05-how-to-draw-a-guy-fingers-eyes-ears-541x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"541\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2></h2>\r\n<h2>Shading</h2>\r\nStep 6 - Next is <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/take-the-stress-out-of-shading-with-these-pencil-shading-techniques/\">shading</a>! Let’s go ahead and shade in the hair, eyebrows, and the shadow on his face behind his hands. We want to add some shading to the eyes, ears, and nose. It’s also a good time to mark out where the lighter shadows will sit on the face and hands with light boundary lines.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/06-how-to-draw-a-guy-hair-shadow-eyes.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3853\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/06-how-to-draw-a-guy-hair-shadow-eyes-541x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"541\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nStep 7 - For this next step you may want to use a tissue or tortillion for blending. At this step, we’re going to be adding those lighter shadows around the face and hands in the areas we planned in the previous step. Think about how the light hits a face. The front of the forehead, the tip of the nose, and the cheekbones get most of the light, so the areas around them should be slightly shaded. You’re halfway through learning how to draw a guy looking scared!\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/07-how-to-draw-a-guy-shadows-and-dark-places.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3854\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/07-how-to-draw-a-guy-shadows-and-dark-places-541x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"541\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2></h2>\r\n<h2>Highlighting and Shading</h2>\r\nStep 8 - After smudging our shadows to blended perfection, we need to erase some of the mess to make sure those shadows sit exactly in the right places. Pay careful attention to the creases of the face around the mouth, nose, and eyes. These should keep their shadows.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/08-how-to-draw-a-guy-highlights.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3855\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/08-how-to-draw-a-guy-highlights-541x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"541\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2></h2>\r\n<h2>Clothing</h2>\r\nStep 9 - Now we’re going to give our guy some <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/picture-perfect-clothing-a-beginners-guide-to-sketching-clothes/\">clothes</a>! Outline the shape of his shirt. Note how fabric creases around different junctures of the body, like his armpits in this case. Also note that when people are scared, they often pull their arms in close. This will give the shirt some bundling and extra fabric around the chest area.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/09-how-to-draw-a-guy-shirt.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3856\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/09-how-to-draw-a-guy-shirt-541x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"541\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nStep 10 - Let’s add some shading to the shirt like we did for the face and hands. Pay careful attention to creases and folds.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/10-how-to-draw-a-guy-more-shade.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3857\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/10-how-to-draw-a-guy-more-shade-541x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"541\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nStep 11 -  Then go a little darker for the lines we really want to lock in. We’ll outline the face and hands and deepen the darkness of shadows we made earlier.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/11-how-to-draw-a-guy-darker-shadow-and-outlines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3858\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/11-how-to-draw-a-guy-darker-shadow-and-outlines-541x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"541\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2></h2>\r\n<h2>Full Figure Shading</h2>\r\nStep 12 - Next we’re going to add a layer of shadow over the whole figure. You can lightly shade with your pencil. After we get the base layer of shading down, we can go back and erase the areas we want to look highlighted.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/12-how-to-draw-a-guy-shadows-and-highlights.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3859\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/12-how-to-draw-a-guy-shadows-and-highlights-541x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"541\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\nStep 13 - Now we’ll use the same method of shading and erasing to add more detail. Notice we are focusing on really smoothing and blending those shadows, but we don’t want to lose the truly dark shadows like those of the ears and hand areas. The folds of the shirt and the arms are going to take the most attention here.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/13-how-to-draw-a-guy-shade-and-erase.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3860\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/13-how-to-draw-a-guy-shade-and-erase-541x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"541\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2></h2>\r\n<h2>Final Touch-Ups</h2>\r\nStep 14 - This is the part where any last tweaks are made. For this step, we just want to sharpen and darken our lines. Once we’re happy with the work, we can add a few more highlights back in by erasing. Ta-dah!\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/14-how-to-draw-a-guy-scared.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3861\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/14-how-to-draw-a-guy-scared-541x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"541\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\nNow you know how to draw a guy who looks scared! I hope you apply the skills learned from these steps in similar, future drawing projects. You may also choose to use this figure in a bigger scene.

Also keep in mind that the woman’s head is slightly turned away from you, so the eyes and other features won’t be directly in the middle.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3886\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nFocus more on drawing the eyes in their proper location and draw some more detail around them. Make the outlines darker to indicate simple shadows and draw an extra line just above the right eye for the eyelid. Above that, draw the eyebrows.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/03-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3887\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/03-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nContour the eyes and eyebrows in more detail by shading around the eyelids and in the inner eye, and by darkening the eyebrows. Color in the iris, but leave a small white section on the left of the pupil for the shine spot. Further, create some soft lines under the eye.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/04-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3888\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/04-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAfter the eyes are positioned properly and shaded, turn your focus to the nose. The nose must be in the right position in relation to the eyes and mouth, otherwise it will look a bit strange. If you already outlined it in the right position, make the lines a bit thicker and add some shadow on the left side and where the nostrils are located.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/05-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3889\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/05-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAdd in darker lines for the clothes and body shape. At this point, you should clearly define where the woman’s shoulders, blouse collar, and undershirt collar are located. You should also add in the suggestion of the shoulder seam on the woman’s shoulder and the lines created by her arm.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/06-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3890\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/06-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Add Detail to the Hair</h2>\r\nCreate the outline of the woman’s hair. Follow the shape of her hair and its natural waves around the face and shoulders according to the reference picture. However, remember not to distort the face while adding this and always keep the pencil lines soft.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/07-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3891\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/07-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nTo create depth within the hair, start adding several lines to indicate how the hair is moving around the face and shoulders. These lines should also be kept relatively soft and can be done rather quickly. Don’t worry too much about this part; the lines are just to help guide you during shading, they aren’t final.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/08-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3892\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/08-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Shade the Hand, Breakfast Bar, and Mouth</h2>\r\nSwitch to a 0.7mm pencil and start contouring the hand. The darkest shadows will be on the thumb just below the breakfast bar and under the fingers. Shade around the fingernails, as well, to create depth and add some shading to show where the woman’s wrist is and where her palm is creased.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/09-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3893\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/09-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nContinue adding shadow to the hand by drawing in the crease lines at the base of the thumb. The center of the palm also needs more shading to show where it creases and the fingers all need shading to appear three-dimensional. You can should also start adding some shading to the breakfast bar near the woman’s fingertips.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/10-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3894\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/10-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nKeep shading along the breakfast bar as you get closer to the woman’s mouth. There should be a line roughly one-fifth up from the bottom of the breakfast bar. This indicates that the bar is 3D as opposed to it being a two-dimensional object.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/11-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3895\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/11-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nStart on the woman’s mouth. Shape the lips first and make sure they are in proportion with the face. The ends of the mouth should be roughly in line with the lines coming down from the woman’s nose.\r\n\r\nNext shape the teeth. You’ll have more top teeth to draw in than bottom teeth. And the top teeth should be longer than the bottom ones.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/12-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3896\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/12-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAfter the mouth and teeth are outlined, begin shading. The lips are dark because the woman in the reference picture is wearing lipstick. They may be lighter if you are drawing them with no lipstick. Meanwhile, the teeth are lightly shaded around the edges and along the gums. Don’t forget to shade the inside of the mouth.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/13-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3897\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/13-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Shade the Head and Neck</h2>\r\nPlace slight shadows on the neck underneath the woman’s chin. These shadows should be very light - we’ll darken it later on. Also shade the woman’s ear. Most of it is covered by her hair, so you just need to shade darkly under the earlobe and around the earring.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/14-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3898\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/14-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nGo back to the hair and add in more lines. These lines should be closer together and may vary in darkness. It is often best to begin with smaller portions of hair, such as the hair below the ear and the hair on the woman’s right side. Also add some shading to the woman’s undershirt and her chest. Make sure the shirt’s collar is clearly visible.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/15-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3899\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/15-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nKeep adding lines to the hair. Check where the hair is placed in the reference picture and add lines according to how the hair is arranged. For this section, it may be best to start at the part, which should in the middle of the woman’s face. The hair at the center of the part should curve downward slightly to indicate that the hair is parted.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/16-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3900\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/16-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nPlace lines completely throughout the hair. Keep the lines of the front strands darker than the lines in the back, but make sure you make some lines a bit darker around the curls in the woman’s hair. Once you have all the hair strands drawn in, most of the shoulder line should be covered.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/17-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3901\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/17-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nReturn to the eyes and add more contrast. Make the pupil and eyelids darker, but keep the highlight that you placed in both irises earlier. Lengthen the eyelashes a bit to make them more visible and add shadows around at the edges of the eyes and in the inner corner around the nose.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/18-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3902\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/18-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Finish Shading the Rest of the Picture</h2>\r\nPlaces shadows throughout the entire picture. This includes adding some shadow around the nose and bridge of the nose, on the cheek and on the arm. You also need to shade around some of the creases in the woman’s clothing.\r\n\r\nAt this point, you can stop drawing and you’ll still have a beautiful picture. However, the next several steps really help add detail and shading.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/19-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3903\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/19-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSwitch to your 7B pencil and begin darkening some of the shadows. Place darker lines throughout the woman’s hair. And go back to some shaded areas to make them appear closer to black.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/20-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3904\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/20-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nReturn to the hair and start adding volume and depth. Fill in the entire area with darker strands, but make sure you have some contrast so the hair doesn’t look flat. The hair in the very front should be slightly lighter to indicate light.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/21-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3905\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/21-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDo this on the other side of the head, as well. All of the hair on this side should be kept dark since the woman’s face keeps in in shadow. However, some areas are darker than others due to overlapping. For example, the section of hair right on the shoulder is darker than the curl just above it.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/22-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3906\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/22-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nGo back over the entire picture and make the shadows on the head, neck, and arm more visible. As you add more shading to the face, remember that the area facing farthest from you is dark, so the shadows around the mouth and nose should be darker. Also add some shading to the woman’s clothing, particularly around the creases and folds created by her arms.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/23-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3907\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/23-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAt this point, you can start adding in the darkest blacks. Shade in the hair more by creating some dark black lines along the back. Add a few in the front, as well, so the hair doesn’t look two-toned. Color the undershirt black and darken some of the areas around the woman’s mouth and eyes. For the highlights in the irises, use a white pencil to create contrast.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/24-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3908\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/24-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAdd more shading in accordance to the reference picture until you have a final drawing that you are happy with. I added more shadow around the woman’s face and forehead to create a more 3D appearance. I also shaded the breakfast bar more completely and added more depth to the hair.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/25-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3909\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/25-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n<h2>Conclusion</h2>\r\nAnd there you have it! A lesson about how to draw a lady.\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned earlier, the techniques that you learned in this tutorial will likely come up again as you continue to learn how to draw people. Even though this tutorial taught you how to draw a lady, don’t be afraid to apply these techniques to other drawings, including animal or landscape drawings.\r\n\r\nBefore I go, let me add a few quick tips for next time:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>If you had some trouble getting the shading right with this tutorial, consider printing out your next reference picture in black and white. This makes it easier to see the shades you need and helps create a more accurate photograph.</li>\r\n 	<li>Work with natural light to get the most accurate shades.</li>\r\n 	<li>If you are right-handing, let the light come from the left side.</li>\r\n 	<li>And, while you draw, place a paper under your hand. This keeps you from smudging your drawing and keeps your hand cleaner.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<em><strong>Note:</strong> I would like to thank artist <strong>Lumjete Havolli</strong> for contributing her drawings and tips for this tutorial!</em>','How to Draw a Lady Eating a Breakfast Bar','','inherit','closed','closed','','3799-revision-v1','','','2017-10-10 05:39:37','2017-10-10 12:39:37','',3799,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/3799-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(4027,2,'2017-10-10 21:25:18','2017-10-11 04:25:18','In this tutorial, I will be teaching you how to draw a lady.

For this drawing, a mechanical pencil with 0.5mm and 0.7mm lead was used, as well as a 7B pencil. An eraser may also be handy just in case you make mistakes along the way. Once you’ve got all your supplies, continue along with me to learn how to draw a woman eating a breakfast bar!\r\n<h2>Draw the Outline and Shade the Eyes</h2>\r\nFirst, draw an outline of the shape and size of the head. The head should take up just about as much space on your paper and it does in the reference photo.\r\n\r\nAfter you’ve drawn the outline, create two lines for where the eyes and mouth are placed, and add a basic outline of the hand.\r\n\r\nDraw all of this as light as possible with a 0.5mm pencil.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/01-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3885\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/01-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nOutline the woman’s basic features, such as the fingers, fingernails, hair, mouth, eyes, and nose in proportion to the size of the head.\r\n\r\nFeel free to use something to measure out the right location of all of these features. Also keep in mind that the woman’s head is slightly turned away from you, so the eyes and other features won’t be directly in the middle.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3886\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nFocus more on drawing the eyes in their proper location and draw some more detail around them. Make the outlines darker to indicate simple shadows and draw an extra line just above the right eye for the eyelid. Above that, draw the eyebrows.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/03-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3887\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/03-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nContour the eyes and eyebrows in more detail by <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/how-to-draw-an-eye-realistically-part-2-of-4/\">shading around the eyelids and in the inner eye</a>, and by darkening the eyebrows. Color in the iris, but leave a small white section on the left of the pupil for the shine spot. Further, create some soft lines under the eye.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/04-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3888\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/04-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAfter the eyes are positioned properly and shaded, turn your focus to the nose. The nose must be in the right position in relation to the eyes and mouth, otherwise it will look a bit strange. If you already outlined it in the right position, make the lines a bit thicker and add some shadow on the left side and where the nostrils are located.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/05-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3889\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/05-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAdd in darker lines for the clothes and body shape. At this point, you should clearly define where the woman’s shoulders, <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/how-to-draw-a-blouse-when-you-know-nothing-about-blouses/\">blouse collar</a>, and undershirt collar are located. You should also add in the suggestion of the shoulder seam on the woman’s shoulder and the lines created by her arm.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/06-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3890\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/06-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Add Detail to the Hair</h2>\r\nCreate the outline of the woman’s hair. Follow the shape of her hair and its natural waves around the face and shoulders according to the reference picture. However, remember not to distort the face while adding this and always keep the pencil lines soft.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/07-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3891\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/07-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nTo create depth within the hair, start adding several lines to <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/how-to-draw-hair-brunette-and-blonde/\">indicate how the hair is moving</a> around the face and shoulders. These lines should also be kept relatively soft and can be done rather quickly. Don’t worry too much about this part; the lines are just to help guide you during shading, they aren’t final.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/08-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3892\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/08-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Shade the Hand, Breakfast Bar, and Mouth</h2>\r\nSwitch to a 0.7mm pencil and start contouring the hand. The darkest shadows will be on the thumb just below the breakfast bar and under the fingers. Shade around the fingernails, as well, to create depth and add some shading to show where the woman’s wrist is and where her palm is creased.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/09-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3893\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/09-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nContinue adding shadow to the hand by drawing in the crease lines at the base of the thumb. The center of the palm also needs more shading to show where it creases and the fingers all need shading to appear three-dimensional. You can should also start adding some shading to the breakfast bar near the woman’s fingertips.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/10-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3894\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/10-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nKeep shading along the breakfast bar as you get closer to the woman’s mouth. There should be a line roughly one-fifth up from the bottom of the breakfast bar. This indicates that the bar is 3D as opposed to it being a two-dimensional object.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/11-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3895\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/11-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nStart on the woman’s mouth. Shape the lips first and make sure they are in proportion with the face. The ends of the mouth should be roughly in line with the lines coming down from the woman’s nose.\r\n\r\nNext <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/this-childhood-shortcut-will-show-you-how-to-draw-teeth/\">shape the teeth</a>. You’ll have more top teeth to draw in than bottom teeth. And the top teeth should be longer than the bottom ones.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/12-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3896\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/12-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAfter the mouth and teeth are outlined, begin shading. The lips are dark because the woman in the reference picture is wearing lipstick. They may be lighter if you are drawing them with no lipstick. Meanwhile, the teeth are lightly shaded around the edges and along the gums. Don’t forget to shade the inside of the mouth.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/13-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3897\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/13-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Shade the Head and Neck</h2>\r\nPlace slight shadows on the neck underneath the woman’s chin. These shadows should be very light - we’ll darken it later on. Also shade the woman’s ear. Most of it is covered by her hair, so you just need to shade darkly under the earlobe and around the earring.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/14-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3898\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/14-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nGo back to the hair and add in more lines. These lines should be closer together and may vary in darkness. It is often best to begin with smaller portions of hair, such as the hair below the ear and the hair on the woman’s right side. Also add some shading to the woman’s undershirt and her chest. Make sure the shirt’s collar is clearly visible.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/15-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3899\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/15-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nKeep adding lines to the hair. Check where the hair is placed in the reference picture and add lines according to how the hair is arranged. For this section, it may be best to start at the part, which should in the middle of the woman’s face. The hair at the center of the part should curve downward slightly to indicate that the hair is parted.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/16-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3900\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/16-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nPlace lines completely throughout the hair. Keep the lines of the front strands darker than the lines in the back, but make sure you make some lines a bit darker around the curls in the woman’s hair. Once you have all the hair strands drawn in, most of the shoulder line should be covered.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/17-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3901\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/17-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nReturn to the eyes and add more contrast. Make the pupil and eyelids darker, but keep the highlight that you placed in both irises earlier. Lengthen the eyelashes a bit to make them more visible and add shadows around at the edges of the eyes and in the inner corner around the nose.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/18-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3902\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/18-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Finish Shading the Rest of the Picture</h2>\r\nPlaces shadows throughout the entire picture. This includes adding some shadow around the nose and bridge of the nose, on the cheek and on the arm. You also need to shade around some of the creases in the woman’s clothing.\r\n\r\nAt this point, you can stop drawing and you’ll still have a beautiful picture. However, the next several steps really help add detail and shading.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/19-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3903\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/19-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSwitch to your 7B pencil and begin darkening some of the shadows. Place darker lines throughout the woman’s hair. And go back to some shaded areas to make them appear closer to black.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/20-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3904\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/20-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nReturn to the hair and start adding volume and depth. Fill in the entire area with darker strands, but make sure you have some contrast so the hair doesn’t look flat. The hair in the very front should be slightly lighter to indicate light.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/21-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3905\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/21-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDo this on the other side of the head, as well. All of the hair on this side should be kept dark since the woman’s face keeps in in shadow. However, some areas are darker than others due to overlapping. For example, the section of hair right on the shoulder is darker than the curl just above it.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/22-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3906\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/22-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nGo back over the entire picture and make the shadows on the head, neck, and arm more visible. As you add more shading to the face, remember that the area facing farthest from you is dark, so the shadows around the mouth and nose should be darker. Also add some shading to the woman’s clothing, particularly around the creases and folds created by her arms.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/23-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3907\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/23-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAt this point, you can start adding in the darkest blacks. Shade in the hair more by creating some dark black lines along the back. Add a few in the front, as well, so the hair doesn’t look two-toned. Color the undershirt black and darken some of the areas around the woman’s mouth and eyes. For the highlights in the irises, use a white pencil to create contrast.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/24-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3908\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/24-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAdd more shading in accordance to the reference picture until you have a final drawing that you are happy with. I added more shadow around the woman’s face and forehead to create a more 3D appearance. I also shaded the breakfast bar more completely and added more depth to the hair.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/25-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3909\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/25-how-to-draw-a-lady-eating-a-breakfast-bar-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n<h2>Conclusion</h2>\r\nAnd there you have it! A lesson about how to draw a lady.\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned earlier, the techniques that you learned in this tutorial will likely come up again as you continue to learn how to draw people. Even though this tutorial taught you how to draw a lady, don’t be afraid to apply these techniques to other drawings, including animal or landscape drawings.\r\n\r\nBefore I go, let me add a few quick tips for next time:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>If you had some trouble getting the shading right with this tutorial, consider printing out your next reference picture in black and white. This makes it easier to see the shades you need and helps create a more accurate photograph.</li>\r\n 	<li>Work with natural light to get the most accurate shades.</li>\r\n 	<li>If you are right-handing, let the light come from the left side.</li>\r\n 	<li>And, while you draw, place a paper under your hand. This keeps you from smudging your drawing and keeps your hand cleaner.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<em><strong>Note:</strong> I would like to thank artist <strong>Lumjete Havolli</strong> for contributing her drawings and tips for this tutorial!</em>','How to Draw a Lady Eating a Breakfast Bar','','inherit','closed','closed','','3799-revision-v1','','','2017-10-10 21:25:18','2017-10-11 04:25:18','',3799,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/3799-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(4028,2,'2017-10-12 05:25:01','2017-10-12 12:25:01','<center><iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/d-zTqlBYvuk?rel=0\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe></center>\r\nIn this tutorial of our never-ending quest for learning how to draw people, we are going to draw this image of a guy painting a wall. You can review the individual drawings as I go step-by-step to drawing the man, and you can also draw along by watching the video. Stop the video when you want, and review the drawing shots.\r\n\r\nUse this reference photo of the man painting the wall for this tutorial so you can follow along step-by-step and sketch in details as they appear in the photos below.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_3884\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"517\"]<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/reference-photo-how-to-draw-a-guy-painting-the-wall.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-3884 size-medium\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/reference-photo-how-to-draw-a-guy-painting-the-wall-517x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"517\" height=\"600\" /></a> <center><b> © <a href=\"https://www.dreamstime.com/godfer_info\">Godfer</a> | <a href=\"https://www.dreamstime.com/\">Dreamstime.com</a></b></center>[/caption]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWhen you are choosing what to draw, many times a complicated pose can make you shy away, but this drawing of a man painting a wall will show you that even a person in action can be tackled easily and with impressive results when you follow along with some simple step-by-step actions to take in your drawing. Go slowly and look carefully at each image.\r\n<h2>Set up Box Guidelines</h2>\r\nAs you can see in this first image, I have drawn three different-sized rectangles that represent the outer framework of the body of the man we are drawing. I took some measurements of the reference photo in order to draw the boxes in proper proportion to one another which will, in turn, maintain proper proportions of our final drawing.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/01-how-to-draw-a-guy-rectangles.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3863\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/01-how-to-draw-a-guy-rectangles-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\nIn the following directions, I’ll indicate the approximate measurements you’ll need for each box for a drawing the same size as mine. If you want to make a larger drawing, simply scale up as much as needed.\r\n\r\nFirst, draw a small rectangle near the top of the page that will be for the man’s head. This box should be 2 ½ inches tall by about 1 7/8 inches wide.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/01a-how-to-draw-a-guy-rectangles.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3951\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/01a-how-to-draw-a-guy-rectangles-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nBelow this box but with a half-inch overlap, and pushed an eighth of an inch to the right, draw a taller rectangular box for the man’s torso. This box should be 4 inches tall and 2 ½ inches wide.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/01b-how-to-draw-a-guy-rectangles.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3952\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/01b-how-to-draw-a-guy-rectangles-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nFor the third box, draw a large square to the left of the first two boxes, with a 1 5/16 inch overlap of the torso box as shown. Also, push the bottom of this box up about 3/8 of an inch higher than the bottom of the torso box. The top of this box will serve as the top of the paint roller and the bottom of the box will be where the guy’s elbow will touch.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/01c-how-to-draw-a-guy-rectangles.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3953\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/01c-how-to-draw-a-guy-rectangles-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow that we have these boxes, we can begin drawing some basic shapes inside.\r\n<h2>Draw Guidelines for the Face</h2>\r\nStart with the box on the top and draw an outline within this box for the head. Look at the reference photograph to shape the head and again at the reference photo to get an idea of the angle at which the head is turned.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02a-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3954\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02a-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWe’re going to begin adding some guidelines to this head to help <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/how-to-draw-faces-tips-techniques-and-short-tutorials/\">place the facial features</a>. Getting these proportional guidelines lightly in place will help you position the facial features correctly, so look carefully at where these are placed and duplicate these in your drawing.\r\n\r\nDraw a vertical line that will run through the center of the man’s face. This vertical line should also follow the curvature of the head.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02b-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3955\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02b-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThen draw a horizontal line, again curved across the center. This guideline will help us place the eyes. Draw tiny tick marks along this guideline to place the inner and outer corner of each eye.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02c-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3956\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02c-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNext approximately halfway between the eye guideline and the chin should be a mark for the bottom of the nose. About a third of the way from this point to the chin should be another guideline for the mouth.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02d-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3957\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02d-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow we’ll focus on some vertical guidelines under where the eyes will be. A guideline from the center of the eye downward will be for the corner of the mouth. Another guideline from the inner corner of the eye downward will be for the outer edge of the lower part of the nose.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02e-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3958\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02e-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNext draw two more horizontal guidelines above the line for the eyes. One will be for the eyebrows and the other for the hairline.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02f-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3959\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02f-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nFinally extend the nose guideline all the way across the head. This line and the eye guideline will help to place the ear.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02g-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3960\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/02g-how-to-draw-a-guy-head-and-face-guidelines-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Draw the Eyes and the Nose</h2>\r\nNow let’s move on to drawing the facial features that accompany these guidelines. Begin with the eyes and draw the outline. Then draw the details of the eyes within the outlines of the eyes, such as the pupil, the iris, the highlights, the lines under the eyes, the eyelids, and so on.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/03a-how-to-draw-a-guy-eyes-and-nose.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3961\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/03a-how-to-draw-a-guy-eyes-and-nose-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAfter the eyes come <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/drawing-eyebrows-like-a-boss/\">the eyebrows</a>. Use the guideline that’s just above the eye and draw the eyebrows on this guideline. Look at the reference photo to observe the thickness and curvature of the eyebrow around the eye, and curve appropriately in your drawing.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/03b-how-to-draw-a-guy-eyes-and-nose.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3962\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/03b-how-to-draw-a-guy-eyes-and-nose-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAfter the eyes is the nose. Look at the reference photograph to judge how far the tip of the nose should protrude from the face and where the tip of the nose should align with the man’s right eye. Carefully draw the nostril and bottom of the nose. The wing of the nose should line up with the inner corner of the man’s eye.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/03c-how-to-draw-a-guy-eyes-and-nose.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3963\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/03c-how-to-draw-a-guy-eyes-and-nose-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Draw More of the Face and Hair</h2>\r\nUse the guideline drawn earlier for the mouth to begin drawing the guy’s top lip. Also remember the guideline that falls from the center of the eye to help place the corner of the mouth. The man’s mouth is slightly open, so make sure to draw some of the visible teeth before moving on to the bottom lip.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/04-how-to-draw-a-guy-mouth.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3866\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/04-how-to-draw-a-guy-mouth-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\nAt this point, use a <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/what-is-a-kneaded-eraser-heres-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/\">kneaded eraser</a> to carefully erase some of the guidelines around the facial features. Then, shape the outline of the face. Draw the contours around the eye, cheek, mouth and chin. Add details around the mouth where needed.\r\n\r\nAdd some volume to the eyebrows with quick, loose strokes of the pencil. Refer to the photo to obtain just the right thickness.\r\n\r\nStart <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/listen-up-to-learn-how-to-draw-ears/\">shaping the ear</a>, which should fall roughly between the guideline for the eyes and the guideline for the nose. Use the reference photo to draw the shapes within the ear.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/05-how-to-draw-a-guy-face-outline-eyebrows-ear.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3867\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/05-how-to-draw-a-guy-face-outline-eyebrows-ear-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\nErase the guidelines of the face, since we are finished with those.\r\n\r\nNow using the photo as your guide, draw in the rough outline of the hair, being careful not to make the lines look too smooth. Go back and forth over your original outline with short strokes to make the appearance of strands of hair. This will add to the realism.\r\n\r\nOn the top of the head, place the strokes going up and away from the face, to indicate an area with the hair is loose and a bit longer on top of his head.\r\n\r\nAdd sideburns down along the side of the ear and then follow up and around the ear, bringing the hair closer as you get toward the top of the ear line.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/06-how-to-draw-a-guy-hair-outline.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3868\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/06-how-to-draw-a-guy-hair-outline-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nStart putting details in the outline of the hair to better indicate the flow and direction of the man’s hair, including some light shading in some of the darker areas.\r\n\r\nWorking within the overall hairline you have created, draw clusters of short back and forth strokes to create small groupings of hair and shadow that make the hair look like it is wavy and full. Do this over the entire head of hair until you have filled in enough small clusters to give the effect of thick hair.\r\n\r\nApply pressure to your pencil while doing this, in an alternating fashion, so the strokes are not even, nor evenly placed. Make some strokes longer than others, some shorter, as well as applying more pressure to some strokes and less to others. This will give your hair a more realistic feel to it.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/07-how-to-draw-a-guy-face-and-hair-details.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3869\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/07-how-to-draw-a-guy-face-and-hair-details-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow we can start adding some other details of the eyes, such as shading. While shading the pupils, keep the small circle for the highlight bright and free of the dark color. This adds to the natural effect of reflection of the eye. Keep the center portion of the pupil dark, and then shade the iris slightly lighter. We can also now draw subtle indications of the man’s eyelashes.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/08-how-to-draw-a-guy-pupils-and-eyelashes.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3870\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/08-how-to-draw-a-guy-pupils-and-eyelashes-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Draw Below the Head</h2>\r\nLet’s bring our focus to the area below the man’s head now. We’ll start framing the neck and torso. Look at the reference photo to get an idea of the shape of the neckline.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/09-how-to-draw-a-guy-shoulder-and-neckline.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3871\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/09-how-to-draw-a-guy-shoulder-and-neckline-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDraw some of the lines on the man’s neck that form as he turns his head.\r\n\r\nSince we are finished with the box for the man’s head, we can erase that at this point.\r\n\r\nContinue to work on the guy’s shirt. Go over the area of the shoulder, and place more lines that will give a rounded effect to the top of the shoulder. Look for <a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/picture-perfect-clothing-a-beginners-guide-to-sketching-clothes/\">seams and folds and creases</a> in the man’s shirt and draw those, as well as the slight curve we see along the guy’s spine.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/10-how-to-draw-a-guy-seams-and-folds.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3872\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/10-how-to-draw-a-guy-seams-and-folds-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Work on the Arm</h2>\r\nAfter completing the folds in the man’s shirt, draw the basic outline of the man’s arm. The point where the man’s hand is holding the handle of the paint roller is align to where his shoulder is.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/11-how-to-draw-a-guy-arm-and-hand-basic-shape.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3873\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/11-how-to-draw-a-guy-arm-and-hand-basic-shape-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNext draw a long rectangular shape along the top of the big guide box for the paint roller. Soften up the corners of the rectangle to give it a more rounded, roller-like shape. Then, start to form the metal part of the paint roller’s handle that will lead from the roller to the plastic part of the handle.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/12-how-to-draw-a-guy-handle-and-roller-cover.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3874\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/12-how-to-draw-a-guy-handle-and-roller-cover-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAdd some detail into the roller itself to bring out some of its fuzzy texture. Similarly, with the metal part of the handle, draw a line inside, partially running the length of the metal to depict shininess. Then begin forming the shape characteristic of the plastic part of the handle.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/13-how-to-draw-a-guy-paint-roller.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3875\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/13-how-to-draw-a-guy-paint-roller-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nUse the basic outline of the hand we drew to start forming the fingers, thumb, and knuckles. Since the fingers are bent away from us, there’s not too much to see as far as the fingers are concerned. Still, we can draw some light indications of shadow to add form to the part of the hand we do see.\r\n\r\nMake short, curved strokes to show where the knuckles are on the hand, and extend the index finger further toward the left than the knuckles. Remember, you should have three main bumps for knuckles, as your fourth finger is the index finger, which is slightly extended holding the handle. The thumb angles around the handle to the right, and the thumb and index finger create a V-design.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/14-how-to-draw-a-guy-hand.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3876\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/14-how-to-draw-a-guy-hand-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nKeep working your way down the wrist and forearm to better define the shape of the arm. Go over the arm and add in some additional curving to the area in the forearm to indicate the muscle. Outline the curve of the elbow going around the arm to create the proper contour.\r\n\r\nThen finish drawing the man’s sleeve. Add in the lines for the bottom of the shirt sleeve, and keep these at approximately a 40-degree angle. Extend the lines beyond the edge of the arm to show dimension and depth to the shirt sleeve.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/15-how-to-draw-a-guy-arm-and-sleeve.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3877\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/15-how-to-draw-a-guy-arm-and-sleeve-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Shade and Finish Up</h2>\r\nNow that we are done with the remaining guidelines, we can start to erase them. Clean up your drawing of stray lines carefully with your eraser, and carefully sweep away stray eraser pieces without touching your drawing so that you do not smear the drawing.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/16-how-to-draw-a-guy-erase-guidelines.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3878\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/16-how-to-draw-a-guy-erase-guidelines-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\nNow it’s time to start looking at some final details.\r\n\r\nStarting at the back edge of the sleeve detail, draw light and irregular lines downward to indicate the seam edge of the shirt. These lines should be in short sections, two lines slightly separated, similar to the edge of the shirt, but much lighter and broken so they give the impression of folds in the fabric.\r\n\r\nAdd in contour lines going back and forth across these, darkening one or two where they cross over the seam here and there.\r\n\r\nFocus on the area under the man’s arm and shade the area where the guy’s arm is casting a shadow onto his shirt.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/17-how-to-draw-a-guy-seam-details-and-shadow.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3879\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/17-how-to-draw-a-guy-seam-details-and-shadow-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDraw a light outline for the shape of the paint on the wall. Very lightly start to shade in the area on the wall that the roller has just painted, adding in a few horizontal lines in the same direction of the roller. Draw the lines right over to his face to make it appear that the paint goes beyond his face behind him. This will add depth to the drawing.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/18-how-to-draw-a-guy-paint-on-wall.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3880\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/18-how-to-draw-a-guy-paint-on-wall-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nFind some of the darker spots on the man’s hair and darken those areas up with more shading as needed. Add in short strokes to create more depth and dimension with darker tone. Lightly shade other areas of the man’s face and neck, notably under his chin.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/19-how-to-draw-a-guy-darker-tones.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3881\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/19-how-to-draw-a-guy-darker-tones-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nLook for other areas that need additional shading, such as on the paint handle, on the wall next to his arm where is arm is casting a shadow, and on his arm.\r\n\r\nStart adding value to the man’s shirt. We’ll use a light crosshatch pattern by sketching lines at an angle in one direction then sketching more lines over these in the opposite direction. Continue applying addition layers of this crosshatch pattern over the man’s shirt to darken the value of his shirt.\r\n\r\nPay attention to which parts of the man’s shirt need to be darkened even further with shadow and shade in those areas.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/20-how-to-draw-a-guy-hatch-crosshatch.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3882\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/20-how-to-draw-a-guy-hatch-crosshatch-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nTake a final look at the overall drawing. Add any finishing touches you feel are needed.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/final-scan-cropped-how-to-draw-a-guy-painting-the-wall.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3964\" src=\"http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/final-scan-cropped-how-to-draw-a-guy-painting-the-wall-476x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"476\" height=\"600\" /></a>\r\n\r\nThat completes this tutorial of how to draw a guy painting the wall!

It includes online video courses on a variety of personal growth topics, live video coaching calls with Q&amp;A, and a private discussion group where members can connect online.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">The purpose of CGC is to help you make faster progress on your path of personal growth. The core focus is to work together to transform members\' lives for the better – and to do this across a wide spectrum of areas, including work, relationships, income generation, health, productivity, skill building, and more.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Since we\'ll have a whole year together, there isn\'t one singular transformation this program will target. Rather we\'ll focus on creating the conditions that stimulate and support many types of transformation – with structured content, direct coaching, and strong community interaction.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Imagine having a growth-oriented community helping you achieve your goals and implement your ideas, checking in to see how you\'re doing, offering help, and giving you compassionate and encouraging feedback at each step along the way.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Core Transformations</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Here are the most requested core transformations that we\'ll work on together throughout the year:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Replacing distraction with <strong>focus</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Turning confusion into <strong>clarity</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Adopting the <strong>habits</strong>of your best self</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Shifting from scarcity to <strong>abundance</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Enjoying <strong>fulfilling work</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Building a <strong>strong character</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Finding a tribe of smart, conscious <strong>friends</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Moving from stressed/numb to <strong>centered</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Replacing doubt with <strong>trust</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Building and honing valuable <strong>skills</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Waking up your <strong>spirit</strong></span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Who Is Let\'s Draw People Club for?</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'re a good match for Let\'s Draw People Club if the following is true for you:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to grow and improve holistically, not just in a single area of your life but in multiple areas, although it\'s totally fine if there\'s one big area you want to work on more than the others.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to enjoy good health and energy and take good care of your body.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to cultivate a sharper, stronger, smarter mind.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'re willing to help support, nurture, and share feedback with the other members as they work on their goals, challenges, explorations, etc.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You see the value in having strong social support from a group of like-minded friends that you can bond with.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to enjoy positive and supportive relationships with people who genuinely care about you (not just in CGC but in the rest of your life too).</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'re willing to give and receive honest feedback, while you maintain the freedom and autonomy to decide how to use the feedback you receive.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'re willing to share some of your successes and your mistakes during the year, so others can learn from you, celebrate with you, and help you learn and improve.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You seek or have already found a sense of purpose in your life.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to create positive ripples in the world.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to be happy and enjoy your life.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'d appreciate a whole-brain program that values logic and intuition, planning and spontaneity, and left- and right-brain thinking.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You feel ready – perhaps even eager – to invite new perspectives, skills, experiences, and results.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to become stronger in your character and more capable as a human being.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want your social life to be filled with conscious, growth-oriented, abundance-minded friends – friends who will keep you from settling.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to see this group succeed, and you believe that it has the potential to do a lot of good for its members and for those whose lives they touch.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to interact with me more closely, including getting my personal feedback and advice from time to time.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you can see yourself in most, if not all, of the items above, CGC is a match for you.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">I\'d say that most current CGC members fit at least one of these categories:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">People who have issues with procrastination, drifting, or lack of focus and want more <strong>action and accountability</strong>to get out of complacency and stretch themselves – They want the program to have a good backbone of structure and an emphasis on disciplined action.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">People who want more <strong>growth-oriented friends</strong>and a stronger social circle – They crave a more empowering social life with people they like and respect, often seeing that as the key ingredient that will uplift and inspire them.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">People who want to make a difference in the world and create <strong>positive ripples</strong>– These people are especially purpose-driven and want to be inspired by other purpose-driven people, so we can all change the world for the better.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">People who are already very growth-oriented and ambitious and want to <strong>achieve bigger goals</strong>– They want to feel stimulated by equally ambitious people and are eager to assimilate new ideas, overcome challenges, and make faster progress.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">People who want <strong>direct advice</strong>from me personally – Some have been reading my blog for years and feel a strong personal connection to me because of that relationship, so for them it\'s important to be able to talk to me directly on the coaching calls and/or interact with me in the discussion group.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you\'ve been reading my blog for a while, you\'re not a normal person. I mean that as a compliment. What you may not realize is that there are a lot of other people out there who think the way you do. The people who read my blog tend to have a lot in common with each other, much more than you\'d expect. If you\'ve never connected with a group of people who are a lot like you, you\'re in for a real treat in CGC.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Program Elements</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Video Courses</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">We\'ll have training modules in a membership area on a variety of personal growth topics, developed and released throughout the year. Each module will include video, audio, and text transcripts with the same material, so you can digest the lessons in whichever format you prefer. You can stream the video and audio directly to your favorite device, or you can download and save the content for later.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What\'s special about CGC is that the course materials are specifically designed for the benefit of our members. So this gets pretty close to having courses that are designed just for you.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Here are some course ideas that Early Access members have suggested thus far:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Passive income</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Creating value online</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Self-discipline</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Personal growth accelerators (Truth, Love, Power)</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Intelligent goal setting and prioritization</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Achieving multiple goals across different areas of life</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Achieving stretch goals</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Taking action consistently (especially in the face of adversity)</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Building and applying courage</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Overcoming limiting beliefs and negative mental scripts</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Being more playful with life and personal growth</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Health detox / mental health</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Going vegan</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Raw foods</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Overcoming perfectionism</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Creating and living your story</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Subjective reality</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Passionately applying your talents</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Lifestyle design</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Changing your attitude / perspective (gratitude, abundance, etc)</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Habit change</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Life balance (especially learning vs. applying knowledge and skills)</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Uncovering your blind spots</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Manifesting and abundance</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Attracting compatible relationship partners</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Creating and enjoying deep relationships</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Productivity, energy, and focus</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Aligning income streams with your purpose, character, and lifestyle desires</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Building mental toughness / strength</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\nassignments\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>Full-Length Video Tutorials</b></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">We\'ll have live 90-minute group coaching calls where you can ask questions, get feedback on ideas, and get help solving problems. These calls will be held multiple times per month (about 40-45 calls during the year).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">These calls will be in streaming video format, just like a webinar. You can access the calls on whichever device you like. You\'ll be able to see me via my webcam, and I can also do screen sharing as needed for demonstrations.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">On these calls you can talk about solving problems, figuring out decisions, or dealing with challenges in your life.You can also ask for extra emotional support when you need it. Any area of life you want help with is fair game.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">We can also bring in guest experts for extra coaching, interviews, and live Q&amp;A. I have many friends who are authors, trainers, speakers, coaches, and entrepreneurs, and I\'m sure many of them would be happy to contribute. Some of them also owe me favors. ?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Recordings</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">All coaching calls will be recorded and available for streaming or download in video and audio formats. So it\'s okay if you miss some or all of the live calls because you\'ll be able to access the recordings whenever you want.</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Members-only Discussion Forums</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'ll have access to our private discussion forums where you can communicate freely with the other CGC members as much as you desire.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">The forums are where CGC members connect, collaborate, share ideas, give feedback, help hold each other accountable, and encourage the heck out of each other. You\'ll find it to be an immensely positive and supportive environment with lots of people you can turn to for help navigating your personal growth challenges.</span>\r\n\r\nhelp hold each other accountable with course assignments, drawings from course Draw-with-Me lessons, drawings from Full-Length Video Tutorial video series\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Our forums run Discourse, which is very modern forum software that\'s fast to learn, uncluttered, and easy to use. Our forums are ad-free as well.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">The CGC forums are already active with dozens of Early Access members who\'ve posted thousands of messages so far, so there\'s a vibrant community for you to connect with right away.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Newsletter</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">CGC includes a weekly email newsletter to share updates, highlights, and reminders. You\'ll also be notified when new course modules are added.</span>\r\n\r\nnotification of new full-length videos, new drawing courses, winners for the Gallery Giveaways\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Deep Dives and Challenges</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Throughout the year we\'ll do some deep dives together such as 30-day challenges to build new habits, gain skills, or complete creative projects.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Each deep dive is an invitation for members who want to work on a certain type of challenge together, supporting each other as we go along. You can do them with the group, you can do them on your own later by using the recordings, or you can decline them if they don\'t fit your schedule or interests.</span>\r\n\r\nGallery Giveaways\r\n\r\nIncentives to help motivate and create engagement.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Action and Accountability</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">In the CGC forums we have a Progress &amp; Accountability category where members share progress logs for their goals and invite more accountability for taking action on their goals and projects. I maintain a progress log there as well, sharing updates on CGC\'s continued development.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You can also use this category to find accountability partners for your goals, so you don\'t have to go it alone.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Self Pacing</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">For all aspects of CGC, you go at your own pacing. Nothing is mandatory.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You can work through the training modules in whichever order you like, at any pace you desire. You can attend the coaching calls live, or you can listen to the recordings later. You can use the discussion group as much or as little as you like. All of the challenges are optional. You can do them with us, on your own later, or not at all.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">CGC is your personal growth playground. It will fit your schedule because it\'s designed to be flexible. You can access it whenever you want, as much as you want. You can work according to your own cycles and rhythms. If you like going at a steady pace throughout the year, great. If you prefer bursting into activity like a maniac for a few weeks and then going at a slower pace while you recharge, also great. You can take breaks whenever you want. This is a key advantage of a one-year program. There is no forced pacing.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'re free to choose which specific transformations you want to focus on at any given time. Do you want to work towards leaving your job and starting an online business? Would you like to add new income streams? Do you want to improve your health? Would you like to enrich your social life? Are you facing a potential separation or divorce that needs to be resolved? We\'ll help you set priorities for what you want to improve during our year together.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you want to be pushed, held accountable, and nudged out of your complacency, we\'ll help you get your ass in gear. If you need to be nurtured, accepted, and understood, we\'ll shower you with unconditional love. If you need to heal, we\'ll help you heal.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">A major goal of CGC is to help you get good at holistic transformation, so you can continue creating the life you desire, regardless of the future challenges you may face.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Pricing</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Your investment for a full year of membership in Conscious Growth Club is $1997.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You can pay for your membership up front with a single payment, or you can choose a payment plan. The payment plan is 8 payments of $297, spaced a month apart. So that\'s 1 payment of $297 when you sign up and then 7 more monthly payments of $297 after that. Whether you opt for the one-pay or the payment plan, it\'s still a one-year membership.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">It\'s important for us to create a strong feeling of investment from the members, so everyone in the group has some real <em>skin in the game</em>. As with any type of coaching or club, active participation means results.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Your CGC membership will last for a whole year, so you\'ll have many opportunities and lots of time to extract good value for your investment.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">I can tell you from experience that when you join this group, you\'re going to grow in many ways that you would not have predicted in advance. Some of your expected improvements will surely happen too, but be prepared for surprises. When we expose ourselves to such intense transformational energy, it changes us in ways we wouldn\'t even have thought to ask for. I get changed by this energy too.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Money-Back Guarantee</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you join CGC and decide for whatever reason that the group isn\'t a match for you, just request a refund within the first 30 days of your membership, and we\'ll refund your money.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Early Access – Now Open</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">I expect to do the official launch of CGC in Summer 2017. However, enthusiasm about CGC has been so high that many people have inquired about the possibility of joining sooner, even while the program is still in development, so I\'ve added an Early Access option that has already proven very popular, with dozens of people joining in just the first week and more still signing up each day.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Here\'s how CGC Early Access works:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>No extra cost</strong>- If you want Early Access to CGC, you still pay the same price when you join, but your one-year membership doesn\'t start counting down until we do the official launch in the summer. So the whole Early Access period is bonus time added to the front of your membership for no extra cost. Hence the sooner you join, the more free bonus time you get.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Access to the forums</strong>- Our discussion forums are already up and running with dozens of active Early Access members, so you\'ll get access to the forums when you sign up.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Earliest possible access to CGC courses</strong>- As we develop the CGC courses, you\'ll be able to access each piece as soon as it\'s available.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Extra coaching calls</strong>- As an Early Access member, you\'ll be able to participate in extra coaching calls that we host during the Early Access period.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Extended money-back guarantee</strong>- For Early Access members, I\'m extending the money-back guarantee from the time of sign-up until the end of the official launch window, plus another 30 days. That way you\'re still getting the same 30-day guarantee as anyone else who enrolls during the official launch, and your guarantee spans the entire Early Access period too.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Join Conscious Growth Club – Early Access</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you wish to join Conscious

the specific, thorough steps needed to feel confident enough to draw a realistic portrait of anyone.</strong></em>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Overview</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Conscious Growth Club (CGC) is a one-year online group coaching program and social support system for conscious, growth-oriented people. It includes online video courses on a variety of personal growth topics, live video coaching calls with Q&amp;A, and a private discussion group where members can connect online.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">The purpose of CGC is to help you make faster progress on your path of personal growth. The core focus is to work together to transform members\' lives for the better – and to do this across a wide spectrum of areas, including work, relationships, income generation, health, productivity, skill building, and more.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Since we\'ll have a whole year together, there isn\'t one singular transformation this program will target. Rather we\'ll focus on creating the conditions that stimulate and support many types of transformation – with structured content, direct coaching, and strong community interaction.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Imagine having a growth-oriented community helping you achieve your goals and implement your ideas, checking in to see how you\'re doing, offering help, and giving you compassionate and encouraging feedback at each step along the way.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Core Transformations</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Here are the most requested core transformations that we\'ll work on together throughout the year:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Replacing distraction with <strong>focus</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Turning confusion into <strong>clarity</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Adopting the <strong>habits</strong>of your best self</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Shifting from scarcity to <strong>abundance</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Enjoying <strong>fulfilling work</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Building a <strong>strong character</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Finding a tribe of smart, conscious <strong>friends</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Moving from stressed/numb to <strong>centered</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Replacing doubt with <strong>trust</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Building and honing valuable <strong>skills</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Waking up your <strong>spirit</strong></span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Who Is Let\'s Draw People Club for?</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'re a good match for Let\'s Draw People Club if the following is true for you:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to grow and improve holistically, not just in a single area of your life but in multiple areas, although it\'s totally fine if there\'s one big area you want to work on more than the others.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to enjoy good health and energy and take good care of your body.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to cultivate a sharper, stronger, smarter mind.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'re willing to help support, nurture, and share feedback with the other members as they work on their goals, challenges, explorations, etc.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You see the value in having strong social support from a group of like-minded friends that you can bond with.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to enjoy positive and supportive relationships with people who genuinely care about you (not just in CGC but in the rest of your life too).</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'re willing to give and receive honest feedback, while you maintain the freedom and autonomy to decide how to use the feedback you receive.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'re willing to share some of your successes and your mistakes during the year, so others can learn from you, celebrate with you, and help you learn and improve.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You seek or have already found a sense of purpose in your life.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to create positive ripples in the world.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to be happy and enjoy your life.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'d appreciate a whole-brain program that values logic and intuition, planning and spontaneity, and left- and right-brain thinking.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You feel ready – perhaps even eager – to invite new perspectives, skills, experiences, and results.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to become stronger in your character and more capable as a human being.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want your social life to be filled with conscious, growth-oriented, abundance-minded friends – friends who will keep you from settling.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to see this group succeed, and you believe that it has the potential to do a lot of good for its members and for those whose lives they touch.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to interact with me more closely, including getting my personal feedback and advice from time to time.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you can see yourself in most, if not all, of the items above, CGC is a match for you.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">I\'d say that most current CGC members fit at least one of these categories:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">People who have issues with procrastination, drifting, or lack of focus and want more <strong>action and accountability</strong>to get out of complacency and stretch themselves – They want the program to have a good backbone of structure and an emphasis on disciplined action.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">People who want more <strong>growth-oriented friends</strong>and a stronger social circle – They crave a more empowering social life with people they like and respect, often seeing that as the key ingredient that will uplift and inspire them.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">People who want to make a difference in the world and create <strong>positive ripples</strong>– These people are especially purpose-driven and want to be inspired by other purpose-driven people, so we can all change the world for the better.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">People who are already very growth-oriented and ambitious and want to <strong>achieve bigger goals</strong>– They want to feel stimulated by equally ambitious people and are eager to assimilate new ideas, overcome challenges, and make faster progress.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">People who want <strong>direct advice</strong>from me personally – Some have been reading my blog for years and feel a strong personal connection to me because of that relationship, so for them it\'s important to be able to talk to me directly on the coaching calls and/or interact with me in the discussion group.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you\'ve been reading my blog for a while, you\'re not a normal person. I mean that as a compliment. What you may not realize is that there are a lot of other people out there who think the way you do. The people who read my blog tend to have a lot in common with each other, much more than you\'d expect. If you\'ve never connected with a group of people who are a lot like you, you\'re in for a real treat in CGC.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Program Elements</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Video Courses</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">We\'ll have training modules in a membership area on a variety of personal growth topics, developed and released throughout the year. Each module will include video, audio, and text transcripts with the same material, so you can digest the lessons in whichever format you prefer. You can stream the video and audio directly to your favorite device, or you can download and save the content for later.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What\'s special about CGC is that the course materials are specifically designed for the benefit of our members. So this gets pretty close to having courses that are designed just for you.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Here are some course ideas that Early Access members have suggested thus far:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Passive income</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Creating value online</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Self-discipline</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Personal growth accelerators (Truth, Love, Power)</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Intelligent goal setting and prioritization</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Achieving multiple goals across different areas of life</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Achieving stretch goals</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Taking action consistently (especially in the face of adversity)</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Building and applying courage</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Overcoming limiting beliefs and negative mental scripts</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Being more playful with life and personal growth</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Health detox / mental health</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Going vegan</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Raw foods</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Overcoming perfectionism</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Creating and living your story</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Subjective reality</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Passionately applying your talents</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Lifestyle design</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Changing your attitude / perspective (gratitude, abundance, etc)</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Habit change</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Life balance (especially learning vs. applying knowledge and skills)</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Uncovering your blind spots</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Manifesting and abundance</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Attracting compatible relationship partners</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Creating and enjoying deep relationships</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Productivity, energy, and focus</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Aligning income streams with your purpose, character, and lifestyle desires</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Building mental toughness / strength</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\nassignments\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>Full-Length Video Tutorials</b></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">We\'ll have live 90-minute group coaching calls where you can ask questions, get feedback on ideas, and get help solving problems. These calls will be held multiple times per month (about 40-45 calls during the year).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">These calls will be in streaming video format, just like a webinar. You can access the calls on whichever device you like. You\'ll be able to see me via my webcam, and I can also do screen sharing as needed for demonstrations.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">On these calls you can talk about solving problems, figuring out decisions, or dealing with challenges in your life.You can also ask for extra emotional support when you need it. Any area of life you want help with is fair game.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">We can also bring in guest experts for extra coaching, interviews, and live Q&amp;A. I have many friends who are authors, trainers, speakers, coaches, and entrepreneurs, and I\'m sure many of them would be happy to contribute. Some of them also owe me favors. ?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Recordings</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">All coaching calls will be recorded and available for streaming or download in video and audio formats. So it\'s okay if you miss some or all of the live calls because you\'ll be able to access the recordings whenever you want.</span>\r\n\r\nEach recorded video will be available for streaming or download. access the recordings whenever you want\r\n\r\nAs a member of the Let\'s Draw People Club, you will have access to a growing collection of full-length video tutorials. Videos are organized by series, and each series focuses on one reference photograph as it\'s subject. Once per week, I will release a new recording of\r\n\r\nstep-by-step every pencil stroke thorough explanations of what i\'m doing and why i\'m doing it\r\n\r\naverage duration of each video is approximately 2 hours\r\n\r\ndesigned for you to draw right along with me or to use as a resource when you need specific help drawing a particular feature or using a certain technique\r\n\r\ndraw along with me at your own pace. pause, back up, or skip ahead when you need to. if you watch and draw a completed 6-week series, you get to decide if you want to complete the drawing in 6 weeks, 12 weeks, or 1 week.\r\n\r\nfull access to downloadable, high-resolution reference photographs, grids I use for each series, and even reference photos with grids already in place. for each drawing series that uses the grid method, I also teach you my step-by-step method for setting up the grid for that drawing, so you will gain the knowledge to apply the same techniques to any future reference photograph and drawing you may choose to do on your own\r\n\r\neach video is accompanied with a sequenced list of what is discussed or demonstrated, along with what time the topic starts in the video. furthermore, you can click on the time and go straight to that part of the video to find precisely the help you need\r\n\r\nonce one series is complete, the next video begins a new series with a new reference photograph\r\n\r\ncurrently in the Full-Length Video Tutorials area of the membership, there are 3 complete series and 16 high-definition videos totaling over 32 hours of instruction and demonstration!\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Members-only Discussion Forums</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'ll have access to our private discussion forums where you can communicate freely with the other CGC members as much as you desire.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">The forums are where CGC members connect, collaborate, share ideas, give feedback, help hold each other accountable, and encourage the heck out of each other. You\'ll find it to be an immensely positive and supportive environment with lots of people you can turn to for help navigating your personal growth challenges.</span>\r\n\r\nhelp hold each other accountable with course assignments, drawings from course Draw-with-Me lessons, drawings from Full-Length Video Tutorial video series\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Our forums run Discourse, which is very modern forum software that\'s fast to learn, uncluttered, and easy to use. Our forums are ad-free as well.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">The CGC forums are already active with dozens of Early Access members who\'ve posted thousands of messages so far, so there\'s a vibrant community for you to connect with right away.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Newsletter</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">CGC includes a weekly email newsletter to share updates, highlights, and reminders.

You can do them with the group, you can do them on your own later by using the recordings, or you can decline them if they don\'t fit your schedule or interests.</span>\r\n\r\nGallery Giveaways\r\n\r\nIncentives to help motivate and create engagement.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Action and Accountability</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">In the CGC forums we have a Progress &amp; Accountability category where members share progress logs for their goals and invite more accountability for taking action on their goals and projects. I maintain a progress log there as well, sharing updates on CGC\'s continued development.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You can also use this category to find accountability partners for your goals, so you don\'t have to go it alone.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Self Pacing</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">For all aspects of CGC, you go at your own pacing. Nothing is mandatory.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You can work through the training modules in whichever order you like, at any pace you desire. You can attend the coaching calls live, or you can listen to the recordings later. You can use the discussion group as much or as little as you like. All of the challenges are optional. You can do them with us, on your own later, or not at all.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">CGC is your personal growth playground. It will fit your schedule because it\'s designed to be flexible. You can access it whenever you want, as much as you want. You can work according to your own cycles and rhythms. If you like going at a steady pace throughout the year, great. If you prefer bursting into activity like a maniac for a few weeks and then going at a slower pace while you recharge, also great. You can take breaks whenever you want. This is a key advantage of a one-year program. There is no forced pacing.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'re free to choose which specific transformations you want to focus on at any given time. Do you want to work towards leaving your job and starting an online business? Would you like to add new income streams? Do you want to improve your health? Would you like to enrich your social life? Are you facing a potential separation or divorce that needs to be resolved? We\'ll help you set priorities for what you want to improve during our year together.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you want to be pushed, held accountable, and nudged out of your complacency, we\'ll help you get your ass in gear. If you need to be nurtured, accepted, and understood, we\'ll shower you with unconditional love. If you need to heal, we\'ll help you heal.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">A major goal of CGC is to help you get good at holistic transformation, so you can continue creating the life you desire, regardless of the future challenges you may face.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Pricing</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Your investment for a full year of membership in Conscious Growth Club is $1997.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You can pay for your membership up front with a single payment, or you can choose a payment plan. The payment plan is 8 payments of $297, spaced a month apart. So that\'s 1 payment of $297 when you sign up and then 7 more monthly payments of $297 after that. Whether you opt for the one-pay or the payment plan, it\'s still a one-year membership.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">It\'s important for us to create a strong feeling of investment from the members, so everyone in the group has some real <em>skin in the game</em>. As with any type of coaching or club, active participation means results.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Your CGC membership will last for a whole year, so you\'ll have many opportunities and lots of time to extract good value for your investment.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">I can tell you from experience that when you join this group, you\'re going to grow in many ways that you would not have predicted in advance. Some of your expected improvements will surely happen too, but be prepared for surprises. When we expose ourselves to such intense transformational energy, it changes us in ways we wouldn\'t even have thought to ask for. I get changed by this energy too.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Money-Back Guarantee</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you join CGC and decide for whatever reason that the group isn\'t a match for you, just request a refund within the first 30 days of your membership, and we\'ll refund your money.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Early Access – Now Open</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">I expect to do the official launch of CGC in Summer 2017. However, enthusiasm about CGC has been so high that many people have inquired about the possibility of joining sooner, even while the program is still in development, so I\'ve added an Early Access option that has already proven very popular, with dozens of people joining in just the first week and more still signing up each day.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Here\'s how CGC Early Access works:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>No extra cost</strong>- If you want Early Access to CGC, you still pay the same price when you join, but your one-year membership doesn\'t start counting down until we do the official launch in the summer. So the whole Early Access period is bonus time added to the front of your membership for no extra cost. Hence the sooner you join, the more free bonus time you get.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Access to the forums</strong>- Our discussion forums are already up and running with dozens of active Early Access members, so you\'ll get access to the forums when you sign up.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Earliest possible access to CGC courses</strong>- As we develop the CGC courses, you\'ll be able to access each piece as soon as it\'s available.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Extra coaching calls</strong>- As an Early Access member, you\'ll be able to participate in extra coaching calls that we host during the Early Access period.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Extended money-back guarantee</strong>- For Early Access members, I\'m extending the money-back guarantee from the time of sign-up until the end of the official launch window, plus another 30 days. That way you\'re still getting the same 30-day guarantee as anyone else who enrolls during the official launch, and your guarantee spans the entire Early Access period too.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Join Conscious Growth Club – Early Access</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you wish to join Conscious

Club</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><em>If you\'ve been exploring how to draw people in a realistic way, on your own and feel ready to tackle those big challenges that have been keeping you stuck, joining Let\'s Draw People Club will give you 100 smart, conscious, aligned friends who will support, encourage, and hold you accountable for an entire year. The catch is that you\'ll have to do the same for them.</em></strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Overview</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Conscious Growth Club (CGC) is a one-year online group coaching program and social support system for conscious, growth-oriented people. It includes online video courses on a variety of personal growth topics, live video coaching calls with Q&amp;A, and a private discussion group where members can connect online.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">The purpose of CGC is to help you make faster progress on your path of personal growth. The core focus is to work together to transform members\' lives for the better &#8211; and to do this across a wide spectrum of areas, including work, relationships, income generation, health, productivity, skill building, and more.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Since we\'ll have a whole year together, there isn\'t one singular transformation this program will target. Rather we\'ll focus on creating the conditions that stimulate and support many types of transformation &#8211; with structured content, direct coaching, and strong community interaction.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Imagine having a growth-oriented community helping you achieve your goals and implement your ideas, checking in to see how you\'re doing, offering help, and giving you compassionate and encouraging feedback at each step along the way.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Core Transformations</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Here are the most requested core transformations that we\'ll work on together throughout the year:</span>\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Replacing distraction with&nbsp;<strong>focus</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Turning confusion into&nbsp;<strong>clarity</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Adopting the&nbsp;<strong>habits</strong>of your best self</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Shifting from scarcity to&nbsp;<strong>abundance</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Enjoying&nbsp;<strong>fulfilling work</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Building a&nbsp;<strong>strong character</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Finding a tribe of smart, conscious&nbsp;<strong>friends</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Moving from stressed/numb to&nbsp;<strong>centered</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Replacing doubt with&nbsp;<strong>trust</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Building and honing valuable&nbsp;<strong>skills</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Waking up your&nbsp;<strong>spirit</strong></span></li>\r\n</ul><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Who Is Let\'s Draw People Club for?</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'re a good match for Let\'s Draw People Club if the following is true for you:</span>\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to grow and improve holistically, not just in a single area of your life but in multiple areas, although it\'s totally fine if there\'s one big area you want to work on more than the others.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to enjoy good health and energy and take good care of your body.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to cultivate a sharper, stronger, smarter mind.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'re willing to help support, nurture, and share feedback with the other members as they work on their goals, challenges, explorations, etc.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You see the value in having strong social support from a group of like-minded friends that you can bond with.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to enjoy positive and supportive relationships with people who genuinely care about you (not just in CGC but in the rest of your life too).</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'re willing to give and receive honest feedback, while you maintain the freedom and autonomy to decide how to use the feedback you receive.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'re willing to share some of your successes and your mistakes during the year, so others can learn from you, celebrate with you, and help you learn and improve.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You seek or have already found a sense of purpose in your life.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to create positive ripples in the world.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to be happy and enjoy your life.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'d appreciate a whole-brain program that values logic and intuition, planning and spontaneity, and left- and right-brain thinking.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You feel ready &#8211; perhaps even eager &#8211; to invite new perspectives, skills, experiences, and results.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to become stronger in your character and more capable as a human being.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want your social life to be filled with conscious, growth-oriented, abundance-minded friends &#8211; friends who will keep you from settling.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to see this group succeed, and you believe that it has the potential to do a lot of good for its members and for those whose lives they touch.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to interact with me more closely, including getting my personal feedback and advice from time to time.</span></li>\r\n</ul><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you can see yourself in most, if not all, of the items above, CGC is a match for you.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">I\'d say that most current CGC members fit at least one of these categories:</span>\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">People who have issues with procrastination, drifting, or lack of focus and want more&nbsp;<strong>action and accountability</strong>to get out of complacency and stretch themselves &#8211; They want the program to have a good backbone of structure and an emphasis on disciplined action.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">People who want more&nbsp;<strong>growth-oriented friends</strong>and a stronger social circle &#8211; They crave a more empowering social life with people they like and respect, often seeing that as the key ingredient that will uplift and inspire them.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">People who want to make a difference in the world and create&nbsp;<strong>positive ripples</strong>&#8211; These people are especially purpose-driven and want to be inspired by other purpose-driven people, so we can all change the world for the better.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">People who are already very growth-oriented and ambitious and want to&nbsp;<strong>achieve bigger goals</strong>&#8211; They want to feel stimulated by equally ambitious people and are eager to assimilate new ideas, overcome challenges, and make faster progress.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">People who want&nbsp;<strong>direct advice</strong>from me personally &#8211; Some have been reading my blog for years and feel a strong personal connection to me because of that relationship, so for them it\'s important to be able to talk to me directly on the coaching calls and/or interact with me in the discussion group.</span></li>\r\n</ul><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you\'ve been reading my blog for a while, you\'re not a normal person. I mean that as a compliment. What you may not realize is that there are a lot of other people out there who think the way you do. The people who read my blog tend to have a lot in common with each other, much more than you\'d expect. If you\'ve never connected with a group of people who are a lot like you, you\'re in for a real treat in CGC.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Program Elements</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Video Courses</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">We\'ll have training modules in a membership area on a variety of personal growth topics, developed and released throughout the year. Each module will include video, audio, and text transcripts with the same material, so you can digest the lessons in whichever format you prefer. You can stream the video and audio directly to your favorite device, or you can download and save the content for later.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What\'s special about CGC is that the course materials are specifically designed for the benefit of our members. So this gets pretty close to having courses that are designed just for you.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Here are some course ideas that Early Access members have suggested thus far:</span>\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Passive income</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Creating value online</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Self-discipline</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Personal growth accelerators (Truth, Love, Power)</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Intelligent goal setting and prioritization</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Achieving multiple goals across different areas of life</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Achieving stretch goals</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Taking action consistently (especially in the face of adversity)</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Building and applying courage</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Overcoming limiting beliefs and negative mental scripts</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Being more playful with life and personal growth</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Health detox / mental health</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Going vegan</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Raw foods</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Overcoming perfectionism</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Creating and living your story</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Subjective reality</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Passionately applying your talents</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Lifestyle design</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Changing your attitude / perspective (gratitude, abundance, etc)</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Habit change</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Life balance (especially learning vs. applying knowledge and skills)</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Uncovering your blind spots</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Manifesting and abundance</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Attracting compatible relationship partners</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Creating and enjoying deep relationships</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Productivity, energy, and focus</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Aligning income streams with your purpose, character, and lifestyle desires</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Building mental toughness / strength</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\nassignments\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>Full-Length Video Tutorials</b></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">We\'ll have live 90-minute group coaching calls where you can ask questions, get feedback on ideas, and get help solving problems. These calls will be held multiple times per month (about 40-45 calls during the year).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">These calls will be in streaming video format, just like a webinar. You can access the calls on whichever device you like. You\'ll be able to see me via my webcam, and I can also do screen sharing as needed for demonstrations.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">On these calls you can talk about solving problems, figuring out decisions, or dealing with challenges in your life.You can also ask for extra emotional support when you need it. Any area of life you want help with is fair game.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">We can also bring in guest experts for extra coaching, interviews, and live Q&amp;A. I have many friends who are authors, trainers, speakers, coaches, and entrepreneurs, and I\'m sure many of them would be happy to contribute. Some of them also owe me favors. ?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Recordings</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">All coaching calls will be recorded and available for streaming or download in video and audio formats.

You can do them with the group, you can do them on your own later by using the recordings, or you can decline them if they don\'t fit your schedule or interests.</span>\r\n\r\nGallery Giveaways\r\n\r\nIncentives to help motivate and create engagement.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Action and Accountability</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">In the CGC forums we have a Progress &amp; Accountability category where members share progress logs for their goals and invite more accountability for taking action on their goals and projects. I maintain a progress log there as well, sharing updates on CGC\'s continued development.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You can also use this category to find accountability partners for your goals, so you don\'t have to go it alone.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Self Pacing</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">For all aspects of CGC, you go at your own pacing. Nothing is mandatory.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You can work through the training modules in whichever order you like, at any pace you desire. You can attend the coaching calls live, or you can listen to the recordings later. You can use the discussion group as much or as little as you like. All of the challenges are optional. You can do them with us, on your own later, or not at all.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">CGC is your personal growth playground. It will fit your schedule because it\'s designed to be flexible. You can access it whenever you want, as much as you want. You can work according to your own cycles and rhythms. If you like going at a steady pace throughout the year, great. If you prefer bursting into activity like a maniac for a few weeks and then going at a slower pace while you recharge, also great. You can take breaks whenever you want. This is a key advantage of a one-year program. There is no forced pacing.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'re free to choose which specific transformations you want to focus on at any given time. Do you want to work towards leaving your job and starting an online business? Would you like to add new income streams? Do you want to improve your health? Would you like to enrich your social life? Are you facing a potential separation or divorce that needs to be resolved? We\'ll help you set priorities for what you want to improve during our year together.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you want to be pushed, held accountable, and nudged out of your complacency, we\'ll help you get your ass in gear. If you need to be nurtured, accepted, and understood, we\'ll shower you with unconditional love. If you need to heal, we\'ll help you heal.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">A major goal of CGC is to help you get good at holistic transformation, so you can continue creating the life you desire, regardless of the future challenges you may face.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Pricing</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Your investment for a full year of membership in Conscious Growth Club is $1997.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You can pay for your membership up front with a single payment, or you can choose a payment plan. The payment plan is 8 payments of $297, spaced a month apart. So that\'s 1 payment of $297 when you sign up and then 7 more monthly payments of $297 after that. Whether you opt for the one-pay or the payment plan, it\'s still a one-year membership.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">It\'s important for us to create a strong feeling of investment from the members, so everyone in the group has some real&nbsp;<em>skin in the game</em>. As with any type of coaching or club, active participation means results.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Your CGC membership will last for a whole year, so you\'ll have many opportunities and lots of time to extract good value for your investment.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">I can tell you from experience that when you join this group, you\'re going to grow in many ways that you would not have predicted in advance. Some of your expected improvements will surely happen too, but be prepared for surprises. When we expose ourselves to such intense transformational energy, it changes us in ways we wouldn\'t even have thought to ask for. I get changed by this energy too.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Money-Back Guarantee</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you join CGC and decide for whatever reason that the group isn\'t a match for you, just request a refund within the first 30 days of your membership, and we\'ll refund your money.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Early Access &#8211; Now Open</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">I expect to do the official launch of CGC in Summer 2017. However, enthusiasm about CGC has been so high that many people have inquired about the possibility of joining sooner, even while the program is still in development, so I\'ve added an Early Access option that has already proven very popular, with dozens of people joining in just the first week and more still signing up each day.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Here\'s how CGC Early Access works:</span>\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>No extra cost</strong>- If you want Early Access to CGC, you still pay the same price when you join, but your one-year membership doesn\'t start counting down until we do the official launch in the summer. So the whole Early Access period is bonus time added to the front of your membership for no extra cost. Hence the sooner you join, the more free bonus time you get.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Access to the forums</strong>- Our discussion forums are already up and running with dozens of active Early Access members, so you\'ll get access to the forums when you sign up.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Earliest possible access to CGC courses</strong>- As we develop the CGC courses, you\'ll be able to access each piece as soon as it\'s available.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Extra coaching calls</strong>- As an Early Access member, you\'ll be able to participate in extra coaching calls that we host during the Early Access period.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Extended money-back guarantee</strong>- For Early Access members, I\'m extending the money-back guarantee from the time of sign-up until the end of the official launch window, plus another 30 days. That way you\'re still getting the same 30-day guarantee as anyone else who enrolls during the official launch, and your guarantee spans the entire Early Access period too.</span></li>\r\n</ul><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Join Conscious Growth Club &#8211;

Rather we\'ll focus on creating the conditions that stimulate and support many types of transformation – with structured content, direct coaching, and strong community interaction.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Imagine having a growth-oriented community helping you achieve your goals and implement your ideas, checking in to see how you\'re doing, offering help, and giving you compassionate and encouraging feedback at each step along the way.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Core Transformations</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Here are the most requested core transformations that we\'ll work on together throughout the year:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Replacing distraction with <strong>focus</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Turning confusion into <strong>clarity</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Adopting the <strong>habits</strong>of your best self</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Shifting from scarcity to <strong>abundance</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Enjoying <strong>fulfilling work</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Building a <strong>strong character</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Finding a tribe of smart, conscious <strong>friends</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Moving from stressed/numb to <strong>centered</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Replacing doubt with <strong>trust</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Building and honing valuable <strong>skills</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Waking up your <strong>spirit</strong></span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Who Is Let\'s Draw People Club for?</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'re a good match for Let\'s Draw People Club if the following is true for you:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to grow and improve holistically, not just in a single area of your life but in multiple areas, although it\'s totally fine if there\'s one big area you want to work on more than the others.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to enjoy good health and energy and take good care of your body.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to cultivate a sharper, stronger, smarter mind.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'re willing to help support, nurture, and share feedback with the other members as they work on their goals, challenges, explorations, etc.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You see the value in having strong social support from a group of like-minded friends that you can bond with.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to enjoy positive and supportive relationships with people who genuinely care about you (not just in CGC but in the rest of your life too).</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'re willing to give and receive honest feedback, while you maintain the freedom and autonomy to decide how to use the feedback you receive.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'re willing to share some of your successes and your mistakes during the year, so others can learn from you, celebrate with you, and help you learn and improve.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You seek or have already found a sense of purpose in your life.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to create positive ripples in the world.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to be happy and enjoy your life.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'d appreciate a whole-brain program that values logic and intuition, planning and spontaneity, and left- and right-brain thinking.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You feel ready – perhaps even eager – to invite new perspectives, skills, experiences, and results.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to become stronger in your character and more capable as a human being.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want your social life to be filled with conscious, growth-oriented, abundance-minded friends – friends who will keep you from settling.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to see this group succeed, and you believe that it has the potential to do a lot of good for its members and for those whose lives they touch.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to interact with me more closely, including getting my personal feedback and advice from time to time.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you can see yourself in most, if not all, of the items above, CGC is a match for you.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">I\'d say that most current CGC members fit at least one of these categories:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">People who have issues with procrastination, drifting, or lack of focus and want more <strong>action and accountability</strong>to get out of complacency and stretch themselves – They want the program to have a good backbone of structure and an emphasis on disciplined action.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">People who want more <strong>growth-oriented friends</strong>and a stronger social circle – They crave a more empowering social life with people they like and respect, often seeing that as the key ingredient that will uplift and inspire them.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">People who want to make a difference in the world and create <strong>positive ripples</strong>– These people are especially purpose-driven and want to be inspired by other purpose-driven people, so we can all change the world for the better.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">People who are already very growth-oriented and ambitious and want to <strong>achieve bigger goals</strong>– They want to feel stimulated by equally ambitious people and are eager to assimilate new ideas, overcome challenges, and make faster progress.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">People who want <strong>direct advice</strong>from me personally – Some have been reading my blog for years and feel a strong personal connection to me because of that relationship, so for them it\'s important to be able to talk to me directly on the coaching calls and/or interact with me in the discussion group.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you\'ve been reading my blog for a while, you\'re not a normal person. I mean that as a compliment. What you may not realize is that there are a lot of other people out there who think the way you do. The people who read my blog tend to have a lot in common with each other, much more than you\'d expect. If you\'ve never connected with a group of people who are a lot like you, you\'re in for a real treat in CGC.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Program Elements</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Video Courses</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">We\'ll have training modules in a membership area on a variety of personal growth topics, developed and released throughout the year. Each module will include video, audio, and text transcripts with the same material, so you can digest the lessons in whichever format you prefer. You can stream the video and audio directly to your favorite device, or you can download and save the content for later.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What\'s special about CGC is that the course materials are specifically designed for the benefit of our members. So this gets pretty close to having courses that are designed just for you.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Here are some course ideas that Early Access members have suggested thus far:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Passive income</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Creating value online</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Self-discipline</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Personal growth accelerators (Truth, Love, Power)</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Intelligent goal setting and prioritization</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Achieving multiple goals across different areas of life</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Achieving stretch goals</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Taking action consistently (especially in the face of adversity)</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Building and applying courage</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Overcoming limiting beliefs and negative mental scripts</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Being more playful with life and personal growth</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Health detox / mental health</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Going vegan</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Raw foods</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Overcoming perfectionism</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Creating and living your story</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Subjective reality</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Passionately applying your talents</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Lifestyle design</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Changing your attitude / perspective (gratitude, abundance, etc)</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Habit change</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Life balance (especially learning vs. applying knowledge and skills)</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Uncovering your blind spots</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Manifesting and abundance</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Attracting compatible relationship partners</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Creating and enjoying deep relationships</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Productivity, energy, and focus</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Aligning income streams with your purpose, character, and lifestyle desires</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Building mental toughness / strength</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\nassignments\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>Full-Length Video Tutorials</b></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">We\'ll have live 90-minute group coaching calls where you can ask questions, get feedback on ideas, and get help solving problems. These calls will be held multiple times per month (about 40-45 calls during the year).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">These calls will be in streaming video format, just like a webinar. You can access the calls on whichever device you like. You\'ll be able to see me via my webcam, and I can also do screen sharing as needed for demonstrations.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">On these calls you can talk about solving problems, figuring out decisions, or dealing with challenges in your life.You can also ask for extra emotional support when you need it. Any area of life you want help with is fair game.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">We can also bring in guest experts for extra coaching, interviews, and live Q&amp;A. I have many friends who are authors, trainers, speakers, coaches, and entrepreneurs, and I\'m sure many of them would be happy to contribute. Some of them also owe me favors. ?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Recordings</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">All coaching calls will be recorded and available for streaming or download in video and audio formats.

You\'ll find it to be an immensely positive and supportive environment with lots of people you can turn to for help navigating your personal growth challenges.</span>\r\n\r\nhelp hold each other accountable with course assignments, drawings from course Draw-with-Me lessons, drawings from Full-Length Video Tutorial video series\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Our forums run Discourse, which is very modern forum software that\'s fast to learn, uncluttered, and easy to use. Our forums are ad-free as well.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">The CGC forums are already active with dozens of Early Access members who\'ve posted thousands of messages so far, so there\'s a vibrant community for you to connect with right away.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Newsletter</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">CGC includes a weekly email newsletter to share updates, highlights, and reminders. You\'ll also be notified when new course modules are added.</span>\r\n\r\nnotification of new full-length videos, new drawing courses, winners for the Gallery Giveaways\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Deep Dives and Challenges</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Throughout the year we\'ll do some deep dives together such as 30-day challenges to build new habits, gain skills, or complete creative projects.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Each deep dive is an invitation for members who want to work on a certain type of challenge together, supporting each other as we go along. You can do them with the group, you can do them on your own later by using the recordings, or you can decline them if they don\'t fit your schedule or interests.</span>\r\n\r\nGallery Giveaways\r\n\r\nIncentives to help motivate and create engagement.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Action and Accountability</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">In the CGC forums we have a Progress &amp; Accountability category where members share progress logs for their goals and invite more accountability for taking action on their goals and projects. I maintain a progress log there as well, sharing updates on CGC\'s continued development.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You can also use this category to find accountability partners for your goals, so you don\'t have to go it alone.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Self Pacing</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">For all aspects of CGC, you go at your own pacing. Nothing is mandatory.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You can work through the training modules in whichever order you like, at any pace you desire. You can attend the coaching calls live, or you can listen to the recordings later. You can use the discussion group as much or as little as you like. All of the challenges are optional. You can do them with us, on your own later, or not at all.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">CGC is your personal growth playground. It will fit your schedule because it\'s designed to be flexible. You can access it whenever you want, as much as you want. You can work according to your own cycles and rhythms. If you like going at a steady pace throughout the year, great. If you prefer bursting into activity like a maniac for a few weeks and then going at a slower pace while you recharge, also great. You can take breaks whenever you want. This is a key advantage of a one-year program. There is no forced pacing.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'re free to choose which specific transformations you want to focus on at any given time. Do you want to work towards leaving your job and starting an online business? Would you like to add new income streams? Do you want to improve your health? Would you like to enrich your social life? Are you facing a potential separation or divorce that needs to be resolved? We\'ll help you set priorities for what you want to improve during our year together.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you want to be pushed, held accountable, and nudged out of your complacency, we\'ll help you get your ass in gear. If you need to be nurtured, accepted, and understood, we\'ll shower you with unconditional love. If you need to heal, we\'ll help you heal.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">A major goal of CGC is to help you get good at holistic transformation, so you can continue creating the life you desire, regardless of the future challenges you may face.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Pricing</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Your investment for a full year of membership in Conscious Growth Club is $1997.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You can pay for your membership up front with a single payment, or you can choose a payment plan. The payment plan is 8 payments of $297, spaced a month apart. So that\'s 1 payment of $297 when you sign up and then 7 more monthly payments of $297 after that. Whether you opt for the one-pay or the payment plan, it\'s still a one-year membership.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">It\'s important for us to create a strong feeling of investment from the members, so everyone in the group has some real <em>skin in the game</em>. As with any type of coaching or club, active participation means results.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Your CGC membership will last for a whole year, so you\'ll have many opportunities and lots of time to extract good value for your investment.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">I can tell you from experience that when you join this group, you\'re going to grow in many ways that you would not have predicted in advance. Some of your expected improvements will surely happen too, but be prepared for surprises. When we expose ourselves to such intense transformational energy, it changes us in ways we wouldn\'t even have thought to ask for. I get changed by this energy too.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Money-Back Guarantee</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you join CGC and decide for whatever reason that the group isn\'t a match for you, just request a refund within the first 30 days of your membership, and we\'ll refund your money.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Early Access – Now Open</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">I expect to do the official launch of CGC in Summer 2017. However, enthusiasm about CGC has been so high that many people have inquired about the possibility of joining sooner, even while the program is still in development, so I\'ve added an Early Access option that has already proven very popular, with dozens of people joining in just the first week and more still signing up each day.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Here\'s how CGC Early Access works:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>No extra cost</strong>- If you want Early Access to CGC, you still pay the same price when you join, but your one-year membership doesn\'t start counting down until we do the official launch in the summer. So the whole Early Access period is bonus time added to the front of your membership for no extra cost. Hence the sooner you join, the more free bonus time you get.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Access to the forums</strong>- Our discussion forums are already up and running with dozens of active Early Access members, so you\'ll get access to the forums when you sign up.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Earliest possible access to CGC courses</strong>- As we develop the CGC courses, you\'ll be able to access each piece as soon as it\'s available.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Extra coaching calls</strong>- As an Early Access member, you\'ll be able to participate in extra coaching calls that we host during the Early Access period.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Extended money-back guarantee</strong>- For Early Access members, I\'m extending the money-back guarantee from the time of sign-up until the end of the official launch window, plus another 30 days. That way you\'re still getting the same 30-day guarantee as anyone else who enrolls during the official launch, and your guarantee spans the entire Early Access period too.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Join Conscious Growth Club – Early Access</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you wish to join Conscious

#000000;\"><strong>Overview</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Let\'s Draw People Club (LDP Club) is a members-only collection of instruction and support for beginning and

Rather we\'ll focus on creating the conditions that stimulate and support many types of transformation – with structured content, direct coaching, and strong community interaction.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Imagine having a growth-oriented community helping you achieve your goals and implement your ideas, checking in to see how you\'re doing, offering help, and giving you compassionate and encouraging feedback at each step along the way.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Core Transformations</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Here are the most requested core transformations that we\'ll work on together throughout the year:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Replacing distraction with <strong>focus</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Turning confusion into <strong>clarity</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Adopting the <strong>habits</strong>of your best self</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Shifting from scarcity to <strong>abundance</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Enjoying <strong>fulfilling work</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Building a <strong>strong character</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Finding a tribe of smart, conscious <strong>friends</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Moving from stressed/numb to <strong>centered</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Replacing doubt with <strong>trust</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Building and honing valuable <strong>skills</strong></span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Waking up your <strong>spirit</strong></span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Who Is Let\'s Draw People Club for?</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'re a good match for Let\'s Draw People Club if the following is true for you:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to grow and improve holistically, not just in a single area of your life but in multiple areas, although it\'s totally fine if there\'s one big area you want to work on more than the others.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to enjoy good health and energy and take good care of your body.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to cultivate a sharper, stronger, smarter mind.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'re willing to help support, nurture, and share feedback with the other members as they work on their goals, challenges, explorations, etc.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You see the value in having strong social support from a group of like-minded friends that you can bond with.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to enjoy positive and supportive relationships with people who genuinely care about you (not just in CGC but in the rest of your life too).</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'re willing to give and receive honest feedback, while you maintain the freedom and autonomy to decide how to use the feedback you receive.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'re willing to share some of your successes and your mistakes during the year, so others can learn from you, celebrate with you, and help you learn and improve.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You seek or have already found a sense of purpose in your life.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to create positive ripples in the world.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to be happy and enjoy your life.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'d appreciate a whole-brain program that values logic and intuition, planning and spontaneity, and left- and right-brain thinking.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You feel ready – perhaps even eager – to invite new perspectives, skills, experiences, and results.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to become stronger in your character and more capable as a human being.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want your social life to be filled with conscious, growth-oriented, abundance-minded friends – friends who will keep you from settling.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to see this group succeed, and you believe that it has the potential to do a lot of good for its members and for those whose lives they touch.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to interact with me more closely, including getting my personal feedback and advice from time to time.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you can see yourself in most, if not all, of the items above, CGC is a match for you.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">I\'d say that most current CGC members fit at least one of these categories:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">People who have issues with procrastination, drifting, or lack of focus and want more <strong>action and accountability</strong>to get out of complacency and stretch themselves – They want the program to have a good backbone of structure and an emphasis on disciplined action.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">People who want more <strong>growth-oriented friends</strong>and a stronger social circle – They crave a more empowering social life with people they like and respect, often seeing that as the key ingredient that will uplift and inspire them.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">People who want to make a difference in the world and create <strong>positive ripples</strong>– These people are especially purpose-driven and want to be inspired by other purpose-driven people, so we can all change the world for the better.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">People who are already very growth-oriented and ambitious and want to <strong>achieve bigger goals</strong>– They want to feel stimulated by equally ambitious people and are eager to assimilate new ideas, overcome challenges, and make faster progress.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">People who want <strong>direct advice</strong>from me personally – Some have been reading my blog for years and feel a strong personal connection to me because of that relationship, so for them it\'s important to be able to talk to me directly on the coaching calls and/or interact with me in the discussion group.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you\'ve been reading my blog for a while, you\'re not a normal person. I mean that as a compliment. What you may not realize is that there are a lot of other people out there who think the way you do. The people who read my blog tend to have a lot in common with each other, much more than you\'d expect. If you\'ve never connected with a group of people who are a lot like you, you\'re in for a real treat in CGC.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Program Elements</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Video Courses</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">We\'ll have training modules in a membership area on a variety of personal growth topics, developed and released throughout the year.

Any area of life you want help with is fair game.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">We can also bring in guest experts for extra coaching, interviews, and live Q&amp;A.

Once per week, I will release a new recording of\r\n\r\nstep-by-step every pencil stroke thorough explanations of what i\'m doing and why i\'m doing it\r\n\r\naverage duration of each video is approximately 2 hours\r\n\r\ndesigned for you to draw right along with me or to use as a resource when you need specific help drawing a particular feature or using a certain technique\r\n\r\ndraw along with me at your own pace. pause, back up, or skip ahead when you need to. if you watch and draw a completed 6-week series, you get to decide if you want to complete the drawing in 6 weeks, 12 weeks, or 1 week.\r\n\r\nfull access to downloadable, high-resolution reference photographs, grids I use for each series, and even reference photos with grids already in place. for each drawing series that uses the grid method, I also teach you my step-by-step method for setting up the grid for that drawing, so you will gain the knowledge to apply the same techniques to any future reference photograph and drawing you may choose to do on your own\r\n\r\neach video is accompanied with a sequenced list of what is discussed or demonstrated, along with what time the topic starts in the video. furthermore, you can click on the time and go straight to that part of the video to find precisely the help you need\r\n\r\nonce one series is complete, the next video begins a new series with a new reference photograph\r\n\r\ncurrently in the Full-Length Video Tutorials area of the membership, there are 3 complete series and 16 high-definition videos totaling over 32 hours of instruction and demonstration!\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Members-only Discussion Forums</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'ll have access to our private discussion forums where you can communicate freely with the other CGC members as much as you desire.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">The forums are where CGC members connect, collaborate, share ideas, give feedback, help hold each other accountable, and encourage the heck out of each other. You\'ll find it to be an immensely positive and supportive environment with lots of people you can turn to for help navigating your personal growth challenges.</span>\r\n\r\nhelp hold each other accountable with course assignments, drawings from course Draw-with-Me lessons, drawings from Full-Length Video Tutorial video series\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Our forums run Discourse, which is very modern forum software that\'s fast to learn, uncluttered, and easy to use. Our forums are ad-free as well.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">The CGC forums are already active with dozens of Early Access members who\'ve posted thousands of messages so far, so there\'s a vibrant community for you to connect with right away.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Newsletter</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">CGC includes a weekly email newsletter to share updates, highlights, and reminders.

You can do them with the group, you can do them on your own later by using the recordings, or you can decline them if they don\'t fit your schedule or interests.</span>\r\n\r\nGallery Giveaways\r\n\r\nIncentives to help motivate and create engagement.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Action and Accountability</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">In the CGC forums we have a Progress &amp; Accountability category where members share progress logs for their goals and invite more accountability for taking action on their goals and projects. I maintain a progress log there as well, sharing updates on CGC\'s continued development.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You can also use this category to find accountability partners for your goals, so you don\'t have to go it alone.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Self Pacing</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">For all aspects of CGC, you go at your own pacing. Nothing is mandatory.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You can work through the training modules in whichever order you like, at any pace you desire. You can attend the coaching calls live, or you can listen to the recordings later. You can use the discussion group as much or as little as you like. All of the challenges are optional. You can do them with us, on your own later, or not at all.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">CGC is your personal growth playground. It will fit your schedule because it\'s designed to be flexible. You can access it whenever you want, as much as you want. You can work according to your own cycles and rhythms. If you like going at a steady pace throughout the year, great. If you prefer bursting into activity like a maniac for a few weeks and then going at a slower pace while you recharge, also great. You can take breaks whenever you want. This is a key advantage of a one-year program. There is no forced pacing.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'re free to choose which specific transformations you want to focus on at any given time. Do you want to work towards leaving your job and starting an online business? Would you like to add new income streams? Do you want to improve your health? Would you like to enrich your social life? Are you facing a potential separation or divorce that needs to be resolved? We\'ll help you set priorities for what you want to improve during our year together.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you want to be pushed, held accountable, and nudged out of your complacency, we\'ll help you get your ass in gear. If you need to be nurtured, accepted, and understood, we\'ll shower you with unconditional love. If you need to heal, we\'ll help you heal.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">A major goal of CGC is to help you get good at holistic transformation, so you can continue creating the life you desire, regardless of the future challenges you may face.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Pricing</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Your investment for a full year of membership in Conscious Growth Club is $1997.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You can pay for your membership up front with a single payment, or you can choose a payment plan. The payment plan is 8 payments of $297, spaced a month apart. So that\'s 1 payment of $297 when you sign up and then 7 more monthly payments of $297 after that. Whether you opt for the one-pay or the payment plan, it\'s still a one-year membership.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">It\'s important for us to create a strong feeling of investment from the members, so everyone in the group has some real <em>skin in the game</em>. As with any type of coaching or club, active participation means results.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Your CGC membership will last for a whole year, so you\'ll have many opportunities and lots of time to extract good value for your investment.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">I can tell you from experience that when you join this group, you\'re going to grow in many ways that you would not have predicted in advance. Some of your expected improvements will surely happen too, but be prepared for surprises. When we expose ourselves to such intense transformational energy, it changes us in ways we wouldn\'t even have thought to ask for. I get changed by this energy too.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Money-Back Guarantee</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you join CGC and decide for whatever reason that the group isn\'t a match for you, just request a refund within the first 30 days of your membership, and we\'ll refund your money.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Early Access – Now Open</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">I expect to do the official launch of CGC in Summer 2017. However, enthusiasm about CGC has been so high that many people have inquired about the possibility of joining sooner, even while the program is still in development, so I\'ve added an Early Access option that has already proven very popular, with dozens of people joining in just the first week and more still signing up each day.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Here\'s how CGC Early Access works:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>No extra cost</strong>- If you want Early Access to CGC, you still pay the same price when you join, but your one-year membership doesn\'t start counting down until we do the official launch in the summer. So the whole Early Access period is bonus time added to the front of your membership for no extra cost. Hence the sooner you join, the more free bonus time you get.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Access to the forums</strong>- Our discussion forums are already up and running with dozens of active Early Access members, so you\'ll get access to the forums when you sign up.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Earliest possible access to CGC courses</strong>- As we develop the CGC courses, you\'ll be able to access each piece as soon as it\'s available.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Extra coaching calls</strong>- As an Early Access member, you\'ll be able to participate in extra coaching calls that we host during the Early Access period.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Extended money-back guarantee</strong>- For Early Access members, I\'m extending the money-back guarantee from the time of sign-up until the end of the official launch window, plus another 30 days. That way you\'re still getting the same 30-day guarantee as anyone else who enrolls during the official launch, and your guarantee spans the entire Early Access period too.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Join Conscious Growth Club – Early Access</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you wish to join Conscious Growth Club during the Early Access period and get started right away, you can sign up right here:</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Pay in Full</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">$1997</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">One payment of $1997 – Pay in full today, and save $379 compared to the payment plan</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Membership:</strong>One full year of CGC membership</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Early Access Bonus:</strong>Early Access period added to the beginning for free</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Courses:</strong>Members-only video training courses on a variety of personal growth topics (with audio and text formats available too)</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Coaching:</strong>90-minute video coaching calls 3-4 times per month (with recordings posted after the calls)</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Forums:</strong>Private discussion group to connect with Steve and other CGC members for support, accountability, and friendship</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Deep Dives:</strong>Opportunities to participate in frequent deep dives such as 30-day trials to build new habits, gain skills, and complete creative projects</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Newsletter:</strong>Weekly members-only newsletter to share updates, highlights, and reminders</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Guarantee:</strong>100% money-back guarantee during the entire early access period + 30 more days</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a href=\"https://www.stevepavlina.com/join/conscious-growth-club/\">Join now – Pay in Full</a></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong> </strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Payment Plan</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">8 payments of $297</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">One payment of $297 today, and then 7 more monthly payments of $297</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Membership:</strong>One full year of CGC membership</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Early Access Bonus:</strong>Early Access period added to the beginning for free</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Courses:</strong>Members-only video training courses on a variety of personal growth topics (with audio and text formats available too)</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Coaching:</strong>90-minute video coaching calls 3-4 times per month (with recordings posted after the calls)</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Forums:</strong>Private discussion group to connect with Steve and other CGC members for support, accountability, and friendship</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Deep Dives:</strong>Opportunities to participate in frequent deep dives such as 30-day trials to build new habits, gain skills, and complete creative projects</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Newsletter:</strong>Weekly members-only newsletter to share updates, highlights, and reminders</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Guarantee:</strong>100% money-back guarantee during the entire early access period + 30 more days</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a href=\"https://www.stevepavlina.com/join/conscious-growth-club-payment-plan/\">Join now – Payment Plan</a></span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Need Help?</span></h2>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you have any questions about Conscious Growth Club or if you need help joining, please send a message through the <a href=\"https://www.stevepavlina.com/contact/\">contact form</a>.</span>','Let\'s Draw People Club','','inherit','closed','closed','','3518-revision-v1','','','2017-10-13 06:04:24','2017-10-13 13:04:24','',3518,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/3518-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(4039,2,'2017-10-13 06:09:41','2017-10-13 13:09:41','Welcome!

You can access the calls on whichever device you like. You\'ll be able to see me via my webcam, and I can also do screen sharing as needed for demonstrations.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">On these calls you can talk about solving problems, figuring out decisions, or dealing with challenges in your life.You can also ask for extra emotional support when you need it. Any area of life you want help with is fair game.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">We can also bring in guest experts for extra coaching, interviews, and live Q&amp;A. I have many friends who are authors, trainers, speakers, coaches, and entrepreneurs, and I\'m sure many of them would be happy to contribute. Some of them also owe me favors. ?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Recordings</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">All coaching calls will be recorded and available for streaming or download in video and audio formats.

You\'ll find it to be an immensely positive and supportive environment with lots of people you can turn to for help navigating your personal growth challenges.</span>\r\n\r\nhelp hold each other accountable with course assignments, drawings from course Draw-with-Me lessons, drawings from Full-Length Video Tutorial video series\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Our forums run Discourse, which is very modern forum software that\'s fast to learn, uncluttered, and easy to use. Our forums are ad-free as well.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">The CGC forums are already active with dozens of Early Access members who\'ve posted thousands of messages so far, so there\'s a vibrant community for you to connect with right away.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Newsletter</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">CGC includes a weekly email newsletter to share updates, highlights, and reminders.

You can do them with the group, you can do them on your own later by using the recordings, or you can decline them if they don\'t fit your schedule or interests.</span>\r\n\r\nGallery Giveaways\r\n\r\nIncentives to help motivate and create engagement.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Action and Accountability</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">In the CGC forums we have a Progress &amp; Accountability category where members share progress logs for their goals and invite more accountability for taking action on their goals and projects. I maintain a progress log there as well, sharing updates on CGC\'s continued development.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You can also use this category to find accountability partners for your goals, so you don\'t have to go it alone.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Self Pacing</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">For all aspects of CGC, you go at your own pacing. Nothing is mandatory.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You can work through the training modules in whichever order you like, at any pace you desire. You can attend the coaching calls live, or you can listen to the recordings later. You can use the discussion group as much or as little as you like. All of the challenges are optional. You can do them with us, on your own later, or not at all.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">CGC is your personal growth playground. It will fit your schedule because it\'s designed to be flexible. You can access it whenever you want, as much as you want. You can work according to your own cycles and rhythms. If you like going at a steady pace throughout the year, great. If you prefer bursting into activity like a maniac for a few weeks and then going at a slower pace while you recharge, also great. You can take breaks whenever you want. This is a key advantage of a one-year program. There is no forced pacing.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'re free to choose which specific transformations you want to focus on at any given time. Do you want to work towards leaving your job and starting an online business? Would you like to add new income streams? Do you want to improve your health? Would you like to enrich your social life? Are you facing a potential separation or divorce that needs to be resolved? We\'ll help you set priorities for what you want to improve during our year together.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you want to be pushed, held accountable, and nudged out of your complacency, we\'ll help you get your ass in gear. If you need to be nurtured, accepted, and understood, we\'ll shower you with unconditional love. If you need to heal, we\'ll help you heal.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">A major goal of CGC is to help you get good at holistic transformation, so you can continue creating the life you desire, regardless of the future challenges you may face.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Pricing</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Your investment for a full year of membership in Conscious Growth Club is $1997.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You can pay for your membership up front with a single payment, or you can choose a payment plan. The payment plan is 8 payments of $297, spaced a month apart. So that\'s 1 payment of $297 when you sign up and then 7 more monthly payments of $297 after that. Whether you opt for the one-pay or the payment plan, it\'s still a one-year membership.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">It\'s important for us to create a strong feeling of investment from the members, so everyone in the group has some real <em>skin in the game</em>. As with any type of coaching or club, active participation means results.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Your CGC membership will last for a whole year, so you\'ll have many opportunities and lots of time to extract good value for your investment.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">I can tell you from experience that when you join this group, you\'re going to grow in many ways that you would not have predicted in advance. Some of your expected improvements will surely happen too, but be prepared for surprises. When we expose ourselves to such intense transformational energy, it changes us in ways we wouldn\'t even have thought to ask for. I get changed by this energy too.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Money-Back Guarantee</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you join CGC and decide for whatever reason that the group isn\'t a match for you, just request a refund within the first 30 days of your membership, and we\'ll refund your money.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Early Access – Now Open</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">I expect to do the official launch of CGC in Summer 2017. However, enthusiasm about CGC has been so high that many people have inquired about the possibility of joining sooner, even while the program is still in development, so I\'ve added an Early Access option that has already proven very popular, with dozens of people joining in just the first week and more still signing up each day.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Here\'s how CGC Early Access works:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>No extra cost</strong>- If you want Early Access to CGC, you still pay the same price when you join, but your one-year membership doesn\'t start counting down until we do the official launch in the summer. So the whole Early Access period is bonus time added to the front of your membership for no extra cost. Hence the sooner you join, the more free bonus time you get.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Access to the forums</strong>- Our discussion forums are already up and running with dozens of active Early Access members, so you\'ll get access to the forums when you sign up.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Earliest possible access to CGC courses</strong>- As we develop the CGC courses, you\'ll be able to access each piece as soon as it\'s available.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Extra coaching calls</strong>- As an Early Access member, you\'ll be able to participate in extra coaching calls that we host during the Early Access period.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Extended money-back guarantee</strong>- For Early Access members, I\'m extending the money-back guarantee from the time of sign-up until the end of the official launch window, plus another 30 days. That way you\'re still getting the same 30-day guarantee as anyone else who enrolls during the official launch, and your guarantee spans the entire Early Access period too.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Join Conscious Growth Club – Early Access</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you wish to join Conscious

and you believe that it has the potential to do a lot of good for its members and for those whose lives they touch.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You want to interact with me more closely, including getting my personal feedback and advice from time to time.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you can see yourself in most, if not all, of the items above, CGC is a match for you.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">I\'d say that most current CGC members fit at least one of these categories:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">People who have issues with procrastination, drifting, or lack of focus and want more <strong>action and accountability</strong>to get out of complacency and stretch themselves – They want the program to have a good backbone of structure and an emphasis on disciplined action.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">People who want more <strong>growth-oriented friends</strong>and a stronger social circle – They crave a more empowering social life with people they like and respect, often seeing that as the key ingredient that will uplift and inspire them.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">People who want to make a difference in the world and create <strong>positive ripples</strong>– These people are especially purpose-driven and want to be inspired by other purpose-driven people, so we can all change the world for the better.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">People who are already very growth-oriented and ambitious and want to <strong>achieve bigger goals</strong>– They want to feel stimulated by equally ambitious people and are eager to assimilate new ideas, overcome challenges, and make faster progress.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">People who want <strong>direct advice</strong>from me personally – Some have been reading my blog for years and feel a strong personal connection to me because of that relationship, so for them it\'s important to be able to talk to me directly on the coaching calls and/or interact with me in the discussion group.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you\'ve been reading my blog for a while, you\'re not a normal person. I mean that as a compliment. What you may not realize is that there are a lot of other people out there who think the way you do. The people who read my blog tend to have a lot in common with each other, much more than you\'d expect. If you\'ve never connected with a group of people who are a lot like you, you\'re in for a real treat in CGC.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Program Elements</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Video Courses</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">We\'ll have training modules in a membership area on a variety of personal growth topics, developed and released throughout the year. Each module will include video, audio, and text transcripts with the same material, so you can digest the lessons in whichever format you prefer. You can stream the video and audio directly to your favorite device, or you can download and save the content for later.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What\'s special about CGC is that the course materials are specifically designed for the benefit of our members. So this gets pretty close to having courses that are designed just for you.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Here are some course ideas that Early Access members have suggested thus far:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Passive income</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Creating value online</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Self-discipline</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Personal growth accelerators (Truth, Love, Power)</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Intelligent goal setting and prioritization</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Achieving multiple goals across different areas of life</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Achieving stretch goals</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Taking action consistently (especially in the face of adversity)</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Building and applying courage</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Overcoming limiting beliefs and negative mental scripts</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Being more playful with life and personal growth</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Health detox / mental health</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Going vegan</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Raw foods</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Overcoming perfectionism</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Creating and living your story</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Subjective reality</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Passionately applying your talents</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Lifestyle design</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Changing your attitude / perspective (gratitude, abundance, etc)</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Habit change</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Life balance (especially learning vs. applying knowledge and skills)</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Uncovering your blind spots</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Manifesting and abundance</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Attracting compatible relationship partners</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Creating and enjoying deep relationships</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Productivity, energy, and focus</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Aligning income streams with your purpose, character, and lifestyle desires</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Building mental toughness / strength</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\nassignments\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>Full-Length Video Tutorials</b></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">We\'ll have live 90-minute group coaching calls where you can ask questions, get feedback on ideas, and get help solving problems. These calls will be held multiple times per month (about 40-45 calls during the year).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">These calls will be in streaming video format, just like a webinar. You can access the calls on whichever device you like. You\'ll be able to see me via my webcam, and I can also do screen sharing as needed for demonstrations.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">On these calls you can talk about solving problems, figuring out decisions, or dealing with challenges in your life.You can also ask for extra emotional support when you need it. Any area of life you want help with is fair game.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">We can also bring in guest experts for extra coaching, interviews, and live Q&amp;A. I have many friends who are authors, trainers, speakers, coaches, and entrepreneurs, and I\'m sure many of them would be happy to contribute. Some of them also owe me favors. ?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Recordings</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">All coaching calls will be recorded and available for streaming or download in video and audio formats.

Videos are organized by series, and each series focuses on one reference photograph as it\'s subject. Once per week, I will release a new recording of\r\n\r\nstep-by-step every pencil stroke thorough explanations of what i\'m doing and why i\'m doing it\r\n\r\naverage duration of each video is approximately 2 hours\r\n\r\ndesigned for you to draw right along with me or to use as a resource when you need specific help drawing a particular feature or using a certain technique\r\n\r\ndraw along with me at your own pace. pause, back up, or skip ahead when you need to. if you watch and draw a completed 6-week series, you get to decide if you want to complete the drawing in 6 weeks, 12 weeks, or 1 week.\r\n\r\nfull access to downloadable, high-resolution reference photographs, grids I use for each series, and even reference photos with grids already in place. for each drawing series that uses the grid method, I also teach you my step-by-step method for setting up the grid for that drawing, so you will gain the knowledge to apply the same techniques to any future reference photograph and drawing you may choose to do on your own\r\n\r\neach video is accompanied with a sequenced list of what is discussed or demonstrated, along with what time the topic starts in the video. furthermore, you can click on the time and go straight to that part of the video to find precisely the help you need\r\n\r\nonce one series is complete, the next video begins a new series with a new reference photograph\r\n\r\ncurrently in the Full-Length Video Tutorials area of the membership, there are 3 complete series and 16 high-definition videos totaling over 32 hours of instruction and demonstration!\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Members-only Discussion Forums</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'ll have access to our private discussion forums where you can communicate freely with the other CGC members as much as you desire.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">The forums are where CGC members connect, collaborate, share ideas, give feedback, help hold each other accountable, and encourage the heck out of each other. You\'ll find it to be an immensely positive and supportive environment with lots of people you can turn to for help navigating your personal growth challenges.</span>\r\n\r\nhelp hold each other accountable with course assignments, drawings from course Draw-with-Me lessons, drawings from Full-Length Video Tutorial video series\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Our forums run Discourse, which is very modern forum software that\'s fast to learn, uncluttered, and easy to use. Our forums are ad-free as well.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">The CGC forums are already active with dozens of Early Access members who\'ve posted thousands of messages so far, so there\'s a vibrant community for you to connect with right away.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Newsletter</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">CGC includes a weekly email newsletter to share updates, highlights, and reminders.

You can do them with the group, you can do them on your own later by using the recordings, or you can decline them if they don\'t fit your schedule or interests.</span>\r\n\r\nGallery Giveaways\r\n\r\nIncentives to help motivate and create engagement.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Action and Accountability</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">In the CGC forums we have a Progress &amp; Accountability category where members share progress logs for their goals and invite more accountability for taking action on their goals and projects. I maintain a progress log there as well, sharing updates on CGC\'s continued development.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You can also use this category to find accountability partners for your goals, so you don\'t have to go it alone.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Self Pacing</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">For all aspects of CGC, you go at your own pacing. Nothing is mandatory.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You can work through the training modules in whichever order you like, at any pace you desire. You can attend the coaching calls live, or you can listen to the recordings later. You can use the discussion group as much or as little as you like. All of the challenges are optional. You can do them with us, on your own later, or not at all.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">CGC is your personal growth playground. It will fit your schedule because it\'s designed to be flexible. You can access it whenever you want, as much as you want. You can work according to your own cycles and rhythms. If you like going at a steady pace throughout the year, great. If you prefer bursting into activity like a maniac for a few weeks and then going at a slower pace while you recharge, also great. You can take breaks whenever you want. This is a key advantage of a one-year program. There is no forced pacing.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'re free to choose which specific transformations you want to focus on at any given time. Do you want to work towards leaving your job and starting an online business? Would you like to add new income streams? Do you want to improve your health? Would you like to enrich your social life? Are you facing a potential separation or divorce that needs to be resolved? We\'ll help you set priorities for what you want to improve during our year together.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you want to be pushed, held accountable, and nudged out of your complacency, we\'ll help you get your ass in gear. If you need to be nurtured, accepted, and understood, we\'ll shower you with unconditional love. If you need to heal, we\'ll help you heal.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">A major goal of CGC is to help you get good at holistic transformation, so you can continue creating the life you desire, regardless of the future challenges you may face.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Pricing</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Your investment for a full year of membership in Conscious Growth Club is $1997.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You can pay for your membership up front with a single payment, or you can choose a payment plan. The payment plan is 8 payments of $297, spaced a month apart. So that\'s 1 payment of $297 when you sign up and then 7 more monthly payments of $297 after that. Whether you opt for the one-pay or the payment plan, it\'s still a one-year membership.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">It\'s important for us to create a strong feeling of investment from the members, so everyone in the group has some real <em>skin in the game</em>. As with any type of coaching or club, active participation means results.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Your CGC membership will last for a whole year, so you\'ll have many opportunities and lots of time to extract good value for your investment.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">I can tell you from experience that when you join this group, you\'re going to grow in many ways that you would not have predicted in advance. Some of your expected improvements will surely happen too, but be prepared for surprises. When we expose ourselves to such intense transformational energy, it changes us in ways we wouldn\'t even have thought to ask for. I get changed by this energy too.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Money-Back Guarantee</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you join CGC and decide for whatever reason that the group isn\'t a match for you, just request a refund within the first 30 days of your membership, and we\'ll refund your money.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Early Access – Now Open</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">I expect to do the official launch of CGC in Summer 2017. However, enthusiasm about CGC has been so high that many people have inquired about the possibility of joining sooner, even while the program is still in development, so I\'ve added an Early Access option that has already proven very popular, with dozens of people joining in just the first week and more still signing up each day.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Here\'s how CGC Early Access works:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>No extra cost</strong>- If you want Early Access to CGC, you still pay the same price when you join, but your one-year membership doesn\'t start counting down until we do the official launch in the summer. So the whole Early Access period is bonus time added to the front of your membership for no extra cost. Hence the sooner you join, the more free bonus time you get.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Access to the forums</strong>- Our discussion forums are already up and running with dozens of active Early Access members, so you\'ll get access to the forums when you sign up.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Earliest possible access to CGC courses</strong>- As we develop the CGC courses, you\'ll be able to access each piece as soon as it\'s available.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Extra coaching calls</strong>- As an Early Access member, you\'ll be able to participate in extra coaching calls that we host during the Early Access period.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Extended money-back guarantee</strong>- For Early Access members, I\'m extending the money-back guarantee from the time of sign-up until the end of the official launch window, plus another 30 days. That way you\'re still getting the same 30-day guarantee as anyone else who enrolls during the official launch, and your guarantee spans the entire Early Access period too.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Join Conscious Growth Club – Early Access</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you wish to join Conscious

#000000;\"><strong>Overview</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Let\'s Draw People Club (LDP Club) is a community of beginning and intermediate artists who specifically want to draw and sketch people and realistic portraits and want to expedite their progress. In order to do this, they have access to a members-only collection of exclusive instructional videos and supporting resources. LDP Club\'s exclusive content currently includes in-depth, full-length video tutorials and supporting materials specific to each video designed for you to draw along and ensure your success. LDP Club is a new, evolving membership area of LetsDrawPeople.com that is updated weekly. In addition to the lengthy tutorial videos, it will soon include online video courses and much more for its members!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The purpose of LDP Club is to help you make faster progress on your path to becoming a skilled and talented portrait artist. Whether you just wish to sharpen your abilities and impress your friends or eventually become a professional portrait artist, becoming and remaining a member of LDP Club will provide you with the training and guidance needed along the way to get you where you want to be.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Who Is Let\'s Draw People Club for?</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">You are a good match for Let\'s Draw People Club if the following is true for you:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You have limited drawing experience and training.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You enjoy doodling, sketching, drawing, etc., but you don\'t feel like you are as good as you\'d like to be or could be.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You feel embarrassed when you compare your drawings to the drawings done by your friends and family members.</span></li>\r\n 	<li>You see drawings and portraits by more experienced artists and think \"Wow, I wish I could draw like that!\"</li>\r\n 	<li>You would love to someday amaze someone you know with a realistic pencil portrait drawing of that someone.</li>\r\n 	<li>You especially have difficulty with drawing people and things like eyes, the mouth, hair, hands, and so on.</li>\r\n 	<li>You would like to learn how to draw better at your own pace.</li>\r\n 	<li>You are committed to practicing during routine intervals that fit your schedule.</li>\r\n 	<li>You are a visual learner and learn best from visual demonstrations.</li>\r\n 	<li>You look forward to improving your skills as a portrait artist and sharing your progress.</li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You are willing to help support and provide positive feedback to other members as they also progress.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you resonate with most or all of the preceding points, then LDP Club is a match for you!</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Full-Length Video Tutorials</b>\r\n\r\nAs a member of Let\'s Draw People Club, you will have access to a growing collection of full-length video tutorials. Videos are organized by series, and each series focuses on one reference photograph as its subject.\r\n\r\nOnce per week, I will release a new video recording as a continuation of the current series or as the beginning of a brand new series.\r\n\r\nEach recorded video will be available for streaming or download. You can access the recordings whenever you want!\r\n\r\nThe duration of each video varies, but the average duration of each video is approximately 2 hours.\r\n\r\n[video pic]\r\n\r\nI like to think of these tutorials as a \"paint-by-numbers\" approach, even though we are drawing and not painting (haha)! Step-by-step, I show you every pencil stroke with thorough explanations of what I\'m doing and why I\'m doing it.\r\n\r\nThe learning curve is expedited because there are multiple skills being applied to a single drawing series. You can then take what you learned from that drawing series and apply it to similar drawings and portrait subjects of your choosing.\r\n\r\nThe full-length video tutorials are designed for you to draw right along with me or to use as a resource when you need specific help drawing a particular feature or using a certain technique.\r\n\r\nDraw along with me at your own pace. Pause, back up, or skip ahead whenever you need to. If you watch and draw a completed 6-week series, you get to decide if you want to complete the drawing in 6 weeks, 12 weeks, or 1 week!\r\n\r\nYou will get full access to downloadable, high-resolution reference photographs, grids I use for each series, and even reference photos with grids already in place. For each drawing series that uses the grid method, I also teach you my step-by-step method for setting up the grid for that drawing, so you will gain the knowledge to apply the same techniques to any future reference photograph and drawing you may choose to do on your own.\r\n\r\nEach video is accompanied with a sequenced list of what is discussed or demonstrated, along with what time the topic starts in the video. Furthermore, you can click on the time and go straight to that part of the video to find precisely the help you need.\r\n\r\nCurrently in the Full-Length Video Tutorials area of the membership, there is one complete series and 10 high-definition videos totaling over 20 hours of instruction and demonstration!\r\n\r\nHere are just a few of the many topics that I cover in great detail throughout the course of the video tutorials currently available:***\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Replacing distraction with <strong>focus</strong></li>\r\n 	<li>Turning confusion into <strong>clarity</strong></li>\r\n 	<li>Adopting the <strong>habits</strong>of your best self</li>\r\n 	<li>Shifting from scarcity to <strong>abundance</strong></li>\r\n 	<li>Enjoying <strong>fulfilling work</strong></li>\r\n 	<li>Building a <strong>strong character</strong></li>\r\n 	<li>Finding a tribe of smart, conscious <strong>friends</strong></li>\r\n 	<li>Moving from stressed/numb to <strong>centered</strong></li>\r\n 	<li>Replacing doubt with <strong>trust</strong></li>\r\n 	<li>Building and honing valuable <strong>skills</strong></li>\r\n 	<li>Waking up your <strong>spirit</strong></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>Video Courses</strong>\r\n\r\nWe\'ll have training modules in a membership area on a variety of personal growth topics, developed and released throughout the year. Each module will include video, audio, and text transcripts with the same material, so you can digest the lessons in whichever format you prefer. You can stream the video and audio directly to your favorite device, or you can download and save the content for later.\r\n\r\nWhat\'s special about CGC is that the course materials are specifically designed for the benefit of our members. So this gets pretty close to having courses that are designed just for you.\r\n\r\nin development and will soon be released to members\r\n\r\nHere are some course ideas that Early Access members have suggested thus far:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Passive income</li>\r\n 	<li>Creating value online</li>\r\n 	<li>Self-discipline</li>\r\n 	<li>Personal growth accelerators (Truth, Love, Power)</li>\r\n 	<li>Intelligent goal setting and prioritization</li>\r\n 	<li>Achieving multiple goals across different areas of life</li>\r\n 	<li>Achieving stretch goals</li>\r\n 	<li>Taking action consistently (especially in the face of adversity)</li>\r\n 	<li>Building and applying courage</li>\r\n 	<li>Overcoming limiting beliefs and negative mental scripts</li>\r\n 	<li>Being more playful with life and personal growth</li>\r\n 	<li>Health detox / mental health</li>\r\n 	<li>Going vegan</li>\r\n 	<li>Raw foods</li>\r\n 	<li>Overcoming perfectionism</li>\r\n 	<li>Creating and living your story</li>\r\n 	<li>Subjective reality</li>\r\n 	<li>Passionately applying your talents</li>\r\n 	<li>Lifestyle design</li>\r\n 	<li>Changing your attitude / perspective (gratitude, abundance, etc)</li>\r\n 	<li>Habit change</li>\r\n 	<li>Life balance (especially learning vs. applying knowledge and skills)</li>\r\n 	<li>Uncovering your blind spots</li>\r\n 	<li>Manifesting and abundance</li>\r\n 	<li>Attracting compatible relationship partners</li>\r\n 	<li>Creating and enjoying deep relationships</li>\r\n 	<li>Productivity, energy, and focus</li>\r\n 	<li>Aligning income streams with your purpose, character, and lifestyle desires</li>\r\n 	<li>Building mental toughness / strength</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nassignments\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Members-only Discussion Forums</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'ll have access to our private discussion forums where you can communicate freely with the other CGC members as much as you desire.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">The forums are where CGC members connect, collaborate, share ideas, give feedback, help hold each other accountable, and encourage the heck out of each other. You\'ll find it to be an immensely positive and supportive environment with lots of people you can turn to for help navigating your personal growth challenges.</span>\r\n\r\nhelp hold each other accountable with course assignments, drawings from course Draw-with-Me lessons, drawings from Full-Length Video Tutorial video series\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Our forums run Discourse, which is very modern forum software that\'s fast to learn, uncluttered, and easy to use. Our forums are ad-free as well.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">The CGC forums are already active with dozens of Early Access members who\'ve posted thousands of messages so far, so there\'s a vibrant community for you to connect with right away.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Newsletter</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">CGC includes a weekly email newsletter to share updates, highlights, and reminders. You\'ll also be notified when new course modules are added.</span>\r\n\r\nnotification of new full-length videos, new drawing courses, winners for the Gallery Giveaways\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Deep Dives and Challenges</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Throughout the year we\'ll do some deep dives together such as 30-day challenges to build new habits, gain skills, or complete creative projects.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Each deep dive is an invitation for members who want to work on a certain type of challenge together, supporting each other as we go along. You can do them with the group, you can do them on your own later by using the recordings, or you can decline them if they don\'t fit your schedule or interests.</span>\r\n\r\nGallery Giveaways\r\n\r\nIncentives to help motivate and create engagement.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Action and Accountability</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">In the CGC forums we have a Progress &amp; Accountability category where members share progress logs for their goals and invite more accountability for taking action on their goals and projects. I maintain a progress log there as well, sharing updates on CGC\'s continued development.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You can also use this category to find accountability partners for your goals, so you don\'t have to go it alone.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Self Pacing</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">For all aspects of CGC, you go at your own pacing. Nothing is mandatory.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You can work through the training modules in whichever order you like, at any pace you desire. You can attend the coaching calls live, or you can listen to the recordings later. You can use the discussion group as much or as little as you like. All of the challenges are optional. You can do them with us, on your own later, or not at all.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">CGC is your personal growth playground. It will fit your schedule because it\'s designed to be flexible. You can access it whenever you want, as much as you want. You can work according to your own cycles and rhythms. If you like going at a steady pace throughout the year, great. If you prefer bursting into activity like a maniac for a few weeks and then going at a slower pace while you recharge, also great. You can take breaks whenever you want. This is a key advantage of a one-year program. There is no forced pacing.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You\'re free to choose which specific transformations you want to focus on at any given time. Do you want to work towards leaving your job and starting an online business? Would you like to add new income streams? Do you want to improve your health? Would you like to enrich your social life? Are you facing a potential separation or divorce that needs to be resolved? We\'ll help you set priorities for what you want to improve during our year together.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you want to be pushed, held accountable, and nudged out of your complacency, we\'ll help you get your ass in gear. If you need to be nurtured, accepted, and understood, we\'ll shower you with unconditional love. If you need to heal, we\'ll help you heal.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">A major goal of CGC is to help you get good at holistic transformation, so you can continue creating the life you desire, regardless of the future challenges you may face.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Pricing</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Your investment for a full year of membership in Conscious Growth Club is $1997.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">You can pay for your membership up front with a single payment, or you can choose a payment plan. The payment plan is 8 payments of $297, spaced a month apart. So that\'s 1 payment of $297 when you sign up and then 7 more monthly payments of $297 after that. Whether you opt for the one-pay or the payment plan, it\'s still a one-year membership.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">It\'s important for us to create a strong feeling of investment from the members, so everyone in the group has some real <em>skin in the game</em>. As with any type of coaching or club, active participation means results.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Your CGC membership will last for a whole year, so you\'ll have many opportunities and lots of time to extract good value for your investment.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">I can tell you from experience that when you join this group, you\'re going to grow in many ways that you would not have predicted in advance. Some of your expected improvements will surely happen too, but be prepared for surprises. When we expose ourselves to such intense transformational energy, it changes us in ways we wouldn\'t even have thought to ask for. I get changed by this energy too.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Money-Back Guarantee</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you join CGC and decide for whatever reason that the group isn\'t a match for you, just request a refund within the first 30 days of your membership, and we\'ll refund your money.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Early Access – Now Open</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">I expect to do the official launch of CGC in Summer 2017. However, enthusiasm about CGC has been so high that many people have inquired about the possibility of joining sooner, even while the program is still in development, so I\'ve added an Early Access option that has already proven very popular, with dozens of people joining in just the first week and more still signing up each day.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Here\'s how CGC Early Access works:</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>No extra cost</strong>- If you want Early Access to CGC, you still pay the same price when you join, but your one-year membership doesn\'t start counting down until we do the official launch in the summer. So the whole Early Access period is bonus time added to the front of your membership for no extra cost. Hence the sooner you join, the more free bonus time you get.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Access to the forums</strong>- Our discussion forums are already up and running with dozens of active Early Access members, so you\'ll get access to the forums when you sign up.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Earliest possible access to CGC courses</strong>- As we develop the CGC courses, you\'ll be able to access each piece as soon as it\'s available.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Extra coaching calls</strong>- As an Early Access member, you\'ll be able to participate in extra coaching calls that we host during the Early Access period.</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Extended money-back guarantee</strong>- For Early Access members, I\'m extending the money-back guarantee from the time of sign-up until the end of the official launch window, plus another 30 days. That way you\'re still getting the same 30-day guarantee as anyone else who enrolls during the official launch, and your guarantee spans the entire Early Access period too.</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Join Conscious Growth Club – Early Access</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you wish to join Conscious Growth Club during the Early Access period and get started right away, you can sign up right here:</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Pay in Full</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">$1997</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">One payment of $1997 – Pay in full today, and save $379 compared to the payment plan</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Membership:</strong>One full year of CGC membership</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Early Access Bonus:</strong>Early Access period added to the beginning for free</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Courses:</strong>Members-only video training courses on a variety of personal growth topics (with audio and text formats available too)</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Coaching:</strong>90-minute video coaching calls 3-4 times per month (with recordings posted after the calls)</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Forums:</strong>Private discussion group to connect with Steve and other CGC members for support, accountability, and friendship</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Deep Dives:</strong>Opportunities to participate in frequent deep dives such as 30-day trials to build new habits, gain skills, and complete creative projects</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Newsletter:</strong>Weekly members-only newsletter to share updates, highlights, and reminders</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Guarantee:</strong>100% money-back guarantee during the entire early access period + 30 more days</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a href=\"https://www.stevepavlina.com/join/conscious-growth-club/\">Join now – Pay in Full</a></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong> </strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Payment Plan</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">8 payments of $297</span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">One payment of $297 today, and then 7 more monthly payments of $297</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Membership:</strong>One full year of CGC membership</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Early Access Bonus:</strong>Early Access period added to the beginning for free</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Courses:</strong>Members-only video training courses on a variety of personal growth topics (with audio and text formats available too)</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Coaching:</strong>90-minute video coaching calls 3-4 times per month (with recordings posted after the calls)</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Forums:</strong>Private discussion group to connect with Steve and other CGC members for support, accountability, and friendship</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Deep Dives:</strong>Opportunities to participate in frequent deep dives such as 30-day trials to build new habits, gain skills, and complete creative projects</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Newsletter:</strong>Weekly members-only newsletter to share updates, highlights, and reminders</span></li>\r\n 	<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Guarantee:</strong>100% money-back guarantee during the entire early access period + 30 more days</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a href=\"https://www.stevepavlina.com/join/conscious-growth-club-payment-plan/\">Join now – Payment Plan</a></span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Need Help?</span></h2>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you have any questions about Conscious Growth Club or if you need help joining, please send a message through the <a href=\"https://www.stevepavlina.com/contact/\">contact form</a>.</span>','Let\'s Draw People Club','','inherit','closed','closed','','3518-revision-v1','','','2017-10-14 10:32:51','2017-10-14 17:32:51','',3518,'http://www.letsdrawpeople.com/3518-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(4046,2,'2017-10-15 09:12:51','2017-10-15 16:12:51','This page is auto-generated by the WishList Member Plugin.

Here you will find a collection of video series containing full-length, step-by-step tutorials for drawing people. Each series shows you every pencil stroke of a drawing from start to finish with thorough explanations.\r\n\r\nTo get the maximum benefit from this collection, choose a series to watch and draw along with me as I take you step-by-step through the entire drawing. Take your time and work at your own pace. Pause as needed, and pick up where you left off. There is so much to be learned by applying so much time and practice to a single drawing!

Here you will find a collection of video series containing full-length, step-by-step tutorials for drawing people. Each series shows you every pencil stroke of a drawing from start to finish with thorough explanations.\r\n\r\nTo get the maximum benefit from this collection, choose a series to watch and draw along with me as I take you step-by-step through the entire drawing. Take your time and work at your own pace. Pause as needed, and pick up where you left off. There is so much to be learned by applying so much time and practice to a single drawing! After you finish one series, choose another series and do it all again!\r\n\r\nAlternatively, if you have certain trouble spots with portrait drawing in general, scan the images below and select one with features similar to what you are trying to achieve.
