How to Draw a Pretty Face - Beautiful Eyes

Hey , everyone .

This is way and welcome back .

Let's do another pretty face drawing and this time is this person and I don't know who she is , but she's got a really beautiful eyes .

So let's get started and I'll talk about the process along the way .

All right .

So let's try this pretty face and I'm just gonna start out with her right eye and I know this is kind of a strange method to some , but it kind of , it's kind of fun , you know , it's just kind of , it's not too serious .

Um All right .

So we just kind of go for it .

All right .

So I'm just gonna draw this , let's see , make sure I'm in frame .

OK .

Yeah .

So yeah .

Um The reason I'm joined this is because yeah , I just saw this and it's just like really pretty eyes .

I mean , obviously there's a lot of photo retouching .

So all right , next eye kind of one space uh looks like , yeah , maybe slightly a little bit wider .

So that's probably correct .

And then there's this overall slant , right ?

So it's kind of going down a little bit .

That's why it went down this way .

So her eyes are very symmetrical .

That's why it's very pretty .

All right and then eyebrow here and look at the angle kind of like this .

All right , this all right .

So it just kind of marking , you know , references , hey , I'm checking the corner going to the eye , just kind of checking the angle , angle of the , you know what a brow is .

All right , let's refine this a little bit .

It looks OK .

All right , going straight down .

Uh , if you go straight down from the corner of your eye , vertical , kind of meets up with the wing of her nose a little bit , a little bit inside and then we can judge it from this angle and it's trying to copy from the corner of the eye maybe at that angle .

So we know the nose is gonna be right here , the wings of her nose .

So that's a very good way of , you know , trying to find a distance and then we go straight vertical , we kind of hit the wings of the nose .

So it's probably a little bit lower because once you start drawing , then you'll find , you know , little things that are off and then you can double check like here , here's the wings of your nose .

If I check it with that angle , it looks ok .

Ok .

And I wish I can be more accurate .

But again , it's just a matter of you being able to see if you can see these angles or not .

Um , and I hope I got it fairly close and if I don't , that's ok too .

All right , vertical from , we go straight , uh , from the eyeball goes straight down .

It kind of hits the corner of her mouth .

So it's kind of right here and we can do , let's say the angle , it's kind of steeper .

So it's probably somewhere right here , right her lip and I'm judging from this angle as well .

So there's a lot of little , little things you can measure , right ?

You can kind of , you know , find certain spots that you can kind of close up , you know , to go too far or if you do go too far , kind of like going back up to the eye .

Uh make sure you just kind of go vertical , right ?

Because those , the vertical is a lot easier to see you , you know , vertical and horizontal .

So when things are crooked , you know , you can tend , tend to be able to spot that a lot better than , you know , these angles .

So , all right .

So keep going see your lip , lower lip , her teeth right here .

I'm not gonna draw , at least not yet .

Your lip kind like that .

All right .

Let's see .

That's should be OK .

So I'm gonna go , let's see the side of the face .

I'm gonna go this way first because it's , it's a little bit , you know , this side of the face is a little bit wider , that's So it's a little bit harder to gauge .

That's what I'm gonna , I'm gonna try to do this side first .

All right distance here .

So you can measure like , kind of this distance and going back out here how far it goes .

So , it's kind of like maybe somewhere right here .

Yeah , maybe a little bit too far .

And the chin , you can kind of find some kind of distance .

You gotta give you double from here to the lower lip .

It's probably a little bit more .

So that's kind of how you can measure these things , OK in here , like show me frame in the camera .

OK .

Kind of goes in this way .

Actually , I think her chin is a little bit sharper .

Yeah .

Right .

So here is always a little bit tricky , right ?

Because it's all dark and then I assume the hair is gonna be right here , but this hair is gonna be all dark .

So you can actually just kind of rough in some dark , dark patches .

All right .

And then let's see .

OK , let's go on to the other side here .

Now , I'm just kind of very angler .

I'm just kinda trying to figure out the angle here like here and then the top right here .

Let's see .

Kind of , yeah , somewhere right here if you go vertical , right ?

So we know it's gonna be turning right here .

It's gonna be where the hair is gonna part here .

Middle .

OK .

So that's kind of how we judge these things and then see going out .

Yeah .

Yeah .

All right .

So it's probably a little bit bigger than what I was anticipating to draw .

So one of the drawback of drawing like this is uh OK .

Hold on .

Let me fill in this hair a little bit right here .

All right .

So one of the drawback of this technique of drawing it this way , it's that , you know , you see right here , I'm running out of space on the paper , right ?

Because I started out with the eye as opposed to starting out with the whole face first .

So that's one of the drawbacks .

So if this matters to you that you want to fit it into a certain area , then it's much better to draw , let's say , um get another piece of paper .

So another way to do it is to just kind of like do it like the envelope way and you can actually sketch in her whole face first , kind of like inside , inside a face .

All right , the hair is outside right here .

So it's kind of like this , I'm just kind of looking at the angles and then you kind of slowly refined it , you know , so it's like here here and then you kind of have to check the uh it's , I mean , to me , this is obviously a little bit more difficult because now you now you can have to break out , break down the , the shapes , right ?

So here's my eye here , here , here , nose , right and then lip and then you can , and you slowly go in and refine these shapes , these angles and you can actually get a fairly accurate shape , you know , and , and you start out this way .

Now I have much more room , you know , I know the exact size of the , the portrait that I wanna draw .

So , I mean , I'll , I'll , I'll do some finds with this kind of technique too because it is very useful , you know , because sometimes you want to confine it to a certain space , right ?

But for me , it's just like , you know , I'm kind of lazy and I'm a little bit impatient .

I just kind of want to draw , you know , so it's like I get on this uh drafting table , I turn , I turn on the camera .

I just want to draw something without too much preparation .

So that's one of the reasons why I do it this way .

It's just , it's , it's just a lot more fun to me .

OK .

All right .

So now I , I think it looks OK .

I mean , if nothing else is still a pretty face , so now I'm gonna go in and start , I start shading this a little bit , right ?

And again , I'm , I'm not drawing , you know , any , any kind of portrait to hang on the wall .

I mean , this is just sketching and it doesn't look like hers .

OK ?

It just , it , it's for you really you know , just for enjoyment of drawing and also , you know , refining your techniques .

Because every time I draw , uh every time I practice doing this kind of stuff , it helps me a lot .

You know , I definitely can feel that I can see things more accurate , more and more accurately .

And my strokes become a little bit more sure , a little bit more confident and it looks a little bit more professional , you know , when you , when your stroke is sure and it really , you know , pays off and you get to have fun with it too .

So , I mean , why draw something ?

If you're gonna kill yourself , you don't want to grind do something , right ?

I don't know .

Maybe you do .

I see a lot of drawings that way and people and , you know , they sit there and they can do it for hours and days , cheating little things .

I mean , which is great .

You know , I'm glad people , some people can do that because you get some really nice .

Um Definitely a lot of wall factor , right ?

In your drawings .

All right .

So I'm just kind of spotting spotting areas and start shading a little bit of cross hatching here here .

OK .

And here .

Yeah , that's really nice eyes .

That's why maybe I should just spend all my time on the ice .

All right .

Moving on .

So this is like the first path and you see me do a lot of this in my , in my drawings .

Um once you have it , this just move on to something else and it's really good advice because you don't want to , you know , spend too much time in any given one area .

You want the whole thing to kind of develop in stages , you know , as a whole .

And I know you see people draw hyper realistic , they don't do it that way .

And , and that's OK because you know , there's , they're drawing hyper realistic , there's really not a lot of style to it , right ?

So every patch is gonna be super realistic so they can , they can jump , they can do it by patch by patch .

And at the end , everything will just be so hyper realistic and which is OK .

But if you want to , you know , have some kind of um what do you call it ?

Kind of like a like a grueling factor , you know , some kind of overall look and style to it , then it , it you have to jump around , you know , that way you can see the whole thing develop and everything will be uh kind of matching up .

So that doesn't look like , you know , things are just kind of floating , you know , in different parts .

So OK , here's the other eye , you know , this is starting look look like uh doesn't this kind of look like Britney Spears ?

Yeah , I know the the I know the the reference doesn't but you know , sometimes when you're trying certain characteristics comes out and then you kind of recognize it .

Right .

All right .

So , here , here , this part is a little bit darker .

All right .

So let's move on because there's a lot of little , I don't want to spend too much time in any one area .

Ok .

Her nose , um , in general , uh , you hear me talk about this a lot , don't overemphasize it because , you know , the nose is not the most attractive part of anybody's , uh face .

And so if you , if you make it a little bit too dark , you know , it just , it's actually less appealing and you see that kind of like this kind of glamour photo , you see how , how the nose is blown out , you know , the , the bridge of the nose and they do that on purpose , you know , because it gets rid of those , the heart ridges right here and it looks a lot more , you know , elegant , a little bit more attractive .

All right , let's move on to your lip .

Ok .

Some suggestion of the T I can , the thieves are kind of like , uh kind of like the nose .

You just , you don't want to over emphasize it .

And if you do , if you , if you end up making like these really dark uh , teeth lines and things like that , uh , it's gonna look like it's John is gonna jump on , bite you and stuff .

It just , it's an odd thing .

It's just one of those things .

Yep .

Ok .

Underneath it's always dark in here and it might have gone a little bit too dark , but it's ok because it , it looks dark right now because there's nothing else going on .

And once I darken up all these other areas , you'll see that .

It's actually ok .

Yeah , starting to look like , actually it looks like Britney Spears or Jessica Alba .

A strange thing .

Right .

Ok .

In here cross hatch a little bit .

Yeah , it looks like Jessica Alba .

Hey , which is a good thing .

Definitely , very pretty .

OK .

So this is just regular cross hatching .

So I'm gonna kind of finish this first phase and I'll do the rest with the speed painting because it's a little speed drawing .

And the reason I do that is because it's not easy for me to draw without talking .

And also I can , yeah , just kind of concentrate on , on drawing a little bit more .

It tends to go a lot quicker .

All right .

So this is the first phase and it's actually , yeah , I think it , her eyes should probably be a little bit bigger .

It would be a little bit prettier because yeah , I kind of missed that because in the in the reference is a little bit bigger .

That's probably why he's looking like Jessica Albert right now .

All right .

835.9 --> 1178.869

I'm back and here's my final drawing for this pretty face and I'm gonna leave the hair like this because , you know , my main focus was really just to capture her eyes and I think it actually looks ok and it actually kind of looks like her .

So that , that's a good thing um because you definitely have a pretty face .

So in terms of shading is , I mean , I kind of shown everything on screen just basically I use uh this is A four B and I just , and then I went in with the six B just to give it a little bit more , you know , in certain area just to push it a little bit more .

Um but not too much so overall .

Uh yeah , I think it turned out , ok , you know , definitely very pretty eyes .

So I hope you guys enjoyed this .

And if you do , please do give me a thumbs up and uh make sure to check out my other portrait videos too because , you know , in each of my videos I always talk about , I mean , a lot of it is like kind of repeat the same information , but there's always like some little things I I remember to , to , to bring up .

So uh hope you guys like this and I'll see you next time .
