HOW TO DRAW PENCIL PORTRAITS QUICKLY AND EASILY IN 7 DAY

 |
|
"How You Can Now Learn To Draw A Realistic Pencil Portrait In Just A Week Even If You Have Never Drawn Before... And Impress Everyone With Your New Found Instant Talent!"
“Let me share with you these 8 easy proven steps that I've perfected over the years to teach hundreds of my students on drawing pencil portraits without struggling...” |
|
| This is NOT a drawing tutorial that attempts to show you how to draw pencil portraits by throwing thousands of words at you and only a few nice-looking pictures that you must figure out on how to draw from A to B. This tutorial will actually guide you, step-by-step, through the details of drawing pencil portraits. You can begin immediately without any expensive drawing materials. |
|
Step 1: Choose An Appropriate Reference Picture
In the first step, you will learn on how to choose a reference picture that’s right for you to draw. Some pictures are harder to draw than others, and many beginners jump into the wrong picture, only to give up and never try again.
In this step, you will learn how to select a fitting reference picture. The best part is, you will draw more quickly and with less frustration once you know what type of pictures to draw. I will also provide you a reference picture of Halle Berry so that you can just print it out immediately. |
 |
|
 |
 |
Step 2: Organize The Position, Outline And Proportions Of The Features
The position of the features is the most basic element of a good drawing and should be done correctly. Imagine your frustration when, halfway through the shading, you realize that the position of the features was wrong.
* Tips for correctly positioning the features
* 8 illustrations showing the organization of the features
* Tips on shading (cross hatching)which you will use in every realistic pencil portrait that you draw |
Step 3: Eye Drawing – Shading and Shadows
The eye is the most expressive feature of the face and is key to capturing the likeness of your drawing. Many people start looking your drawing from the eyes then only to other parts.
Indeed, the eyes are often the first part of a portrait that people notice. For this reason, most of the artists pay special emphasis to eyes.
* Instructions on how to draw the details of the eyes and eyebrows
* 34 step-by-step illustrations demonstrating shading of the eyes
* Tips on drawing the eyelids, iris, pupils, eyelashes, and the surrounding shadows
* Ways to deal with the tiny details of light and shading in the eyes
|
Step 4: Nose Drawing – Shading and Shadows
The nose is one of the EASIEST features to draw because it doesn’t do much in terms of giving emotional response for your drawing. Finding noses hard to draw? That’s often because people only focus on drawing the other facial features.
* Learn the important aspects of drawing the nose
* 9 step-by-step illustrations for shading the nose
* Drawing the nose bridge and nostrils |
Step 5: Mouth drawing – Shading and Shadows
The mouth is the second most expressive feature of the face. In some cases it communicates emotion more strongly than do the eyes.
Drawing the mouth correctly often makes or breaks a portrait, the portrait comes alive with a well-drawn and well-shaded mouth. When you draw and shade on the mouth correctly, it suddenly has an energy all its own.
* Learn how to draw the details of the mouth
* Tips for perfectly formed lips
* 20 step-by-step illustrations for shading the mouth
* Learn to draw the lip line
* Learn to draw glossy lips |
 |
 |
 |
Step 6: Ear Drawing – Shading and Shadows
What I found when I read art books is that most of them skip the part on teaching ears drawing by covering the ears with long hair. And even if they did mention the ears, it’s very quick and doesn’t go into details.
Ears come in many shapes and sizes and are unique to each individual. For drawing ears, you will need to get the spacing between the parts right.
* Learn how to draw the details of the ear
* 14 step-by-step illustrations for shading the ear
* Getting the correct shading tone
|
Step 7: Hair Drawing – Shading and Shadows
Drawing hair is important. Everything else might be perfect but if the hair looks like a bird’s nest or is flat then it will affect your entire drawing. Yes, drawing hair is complicated and frustrating, and often the results are terrible if only you go about it the right way, and do steps in the correct order.
You can’t draw every single strand that would be on a person’s head. But you do need to add enough distinct strands to give your drawing a clear texture and form of hair. Drawing hair correctly can change the look of your drawing dramatically.
* Learn how to draw the details of hair
* Don't waste your time making mistakes in drawing hair like most of the beginners
|
Step 8: Face Drawing – Shading and Shadows
This is the final step of this drawing portraits tutorial. This final step provides the finishing touches to shading the forehead, cheek, and jaw.
If you have completed this, I’m confident to say that you’ll be able to draw portraits of your friends, family members, or celebrities.
* Learn how to draw the details of the face
* 42 step-by-step illustrations for shading the face
* Understand how to shade the face
* Learn how to add shading on the neck
There are total of 60pages in this e-book. Personally, I hate 200-page books that can be summed up in 70 pages or less. I get right to the point. I make it more on practical, step-by-step methods that can be learnt easily the minute u read it. |
If this tutorial were a print book, the price would easily exceed $77. I planned to offer it at this price but because I’m making it as a digital downloadable product which eliminating the cost of printing and shipping, I’ll offer it at a much lower price which is only at $47 USD. |

So if you have questions about how to get your sketches from your sketchbook into the computer this is a must see! |
Piecing it All Together / Layering it Up!
Here in this section of the training course Chad walks you from the beginning, showing you how he sketches his characters into the computer and with the use of layers he can mold his character into something stronger.
Using layers when you construct your lines will help you to quickly build your character. The best part is you can turn on and off layers to see what nose or eye combination is stronger. When you find one that you like, you can commit to it and move forward to a different part of the character.
You will see when using layers, even in the early stages of the character design, you can build your character up in a matter of minutes. Try it for yourself I think you will agree! |

Starting from the Sketch
Here stands a sketch Chad has created with pencil and paper. Lots of folks might think that the best way to get your pencil sketch into the computer is by using a electric scanner. Actually, the best way Chad likes to get his cartoon illustrations into the computer is by using his digital camera.
Using the Digital Camera - The best way Chad likes to get his cartoon illustrations into the computer is by using a digital camera
"I like using the digital camera because it's easy and quick and I'm not to concerned about the quality when brining my illustrations into the computer!" -Chad |
Setting up the Scene with Lights
Watch Chad as he sets up his canvas / scene with lights before he even starts to think about painting any of his characters.
In this training series Chad starts off by painting two light sources right onto the background canvas. On the right Chad paints in a very strong light to the right and also paints a soft blue light to the left.
"Before I start painting I want to see where my light sources are coming from before I get started with painting my characters.
Establishing the lights first allows me to see how the light will fall on the characters before I get started in painting them. |
Bounce the Light and working with Shadows
In this training series Chad walks you step by step in how he applies light values and dark values to shade and light his characters.
The Right Color - Using the right colors while creating your highlights and your shadows allows his characters to pop off the page.
Bouncing the Light - Chad also demonstrate how he uses the light values and bounces the light off some of the shadow areas making it appear more realistic and dynamic.
The best part is when you learn this you can apply it to all of your work to give it more dimension and life! |
