Portrait #46 - Simple steps for Live Portrait Drawing in 10 minutes

Process that can be to draw any objects .

OK .

So I'm gonna have this gentleman sit over here .

Can everyone coming to this site ?

Can you make your face more ?

A little bit more straight ?

OK .

I'm gonna use the wine shackle .

So I'm looking at him .

The first thing I'm gonna do is thinking about how much you want to draw because you can draw all the way into the arm , including shoes , lots of choices for you .

So now what I'm gonna do , I'm gonna thinking about that .

I'm not sure .

So I'm gonna start playing with the ideas , maybe the face over here and the shoulder over here like that .

Oh , and maybe the face a little bit bigger .

I'm not sure yet .

So I have to make up the mind even though I only have 10 minutes , but you have to spend the time on finding what you want to draw and , and because that's very important , I'm gonna move it a little bit to the left a little bit if you don't change it , now , were you gonna change it later ?

Most likely not ?

Right .

So the first step is very important .

You have to make sure that it is the right place and the right size you include the , the things that you want to include in your drawing .

If you are sure that this is what you want to do .

And the next thing , what you're gonna do in this step and measure now already know , OK , say this is the bottom of the chin .

This is the top of the head .

I'm not gonna change it now , but can be a little bit wider , can a little bit skinnier and depends on the proportion .

Now what I'm gonna do , I'm gonna take the height from the top of the head to the bottom of the chin .

Now I'm gonna rotate it .

I'm gonna take a look and that is about a little bit more than two third , the width compared to the height .

Let's do the three first , divide it into three , right a little bit more , just give a little more .

It's about this much .

Now , I'm gonna take this and rotate it and that's the weight that include both ears .

Now , I'm gonna have a little center to my composition .

OK .

Now this is good now and the ears on the right side , it's about take , take probably take this much on the left side , it's about take this much .

So the whole phase without ears is about like this roughly and on the top over here , it open up a little bit and with this kind of curve and open up a little bit .

So now come down to the proportion .

We're not learning the drawing the portrait yet .

But I want to tell you their humans face proportion .

Now , I'm gonna find out where the ST the hairline because his face tilted a little bit low .

So I'm gonna see that the hairline , I'm gonna measure the hairlines is between the top of the hair to where the hair started , right .

So when I'm gonna do a little , I'm gonna do a little measurement .

Don't worry , you don't have to do here .

Hold on it actually , exactly a quarter .

Do you know what is this ?

A quarter ?

I can divide it into here because his face to be a little bit lower , so I can divide that right quarters .

Now , this one a little bit higher .

Now you can see the proportion actually become very important and that is important in any object that you're gonna draw .

Now , the hairline starting over here on the top , it looks like this , that's the top , it's already gone .

And also from the hairline to the chin , you can divide into three proportions and that's perfect .

Now , three right at the bottom .

So the eyebrows is right over here .

OK .

And the nose , OK .

Are you gonna keep that smile ?

Ok .

Sure .

And the eyebrows right here and the mouth is about in this location , we already know the eyebrows here , the eyebrows here on both sides and the I actually if you divide from the top to the bottom , the center in the vertical , center of it , it is actually the line .

And what about where is it on the horizontal ?

And actually from what I see , you can divide it in two , they almost the ear close to the ear .

But about here to on this side , it's not always has a standard width because everybody's structure of the face a little bit different .

So you can divide into actually five , the five eyes , the middle between the two eyes usually have the same width as the one I space .

So let's see .

Now I'm gonna see that his eye is sitting here .

I know some people like to draw the eye from inside out .

Uh But you have to know exactly what the location of the eye before you can draw the details of the eye .

And uh over here now , you can see the whole shape of the eye like this and the is is right inside over here , you can remove that line , compare the width of the nose to the corner of the eyes you can compare oh it's a little bit wider than one ice space .

Now , you can see locate that from the top , drawing it down .

You can find that this is all simple proportion measurement .

Right .

Now , when you're looking at the mouth , the mouse is almost like the same width and is the nose just a little bit wider and just on that , this is the location , there's the upper lip , the lower lip and right here .

And this is the chin , where are the ears ?

Because his face too down a little bit , the ears .

If , if his face is a little bit lift up a little more , the ears is pretty close to the eyebrows , the eyebrows line the top , ok .

The bottom way is it is close to the bottom of the nose .

So that is uh , the general guideline for the ears .

So this is good on this side is the same and a little bit over here and coming down close to the bottom of the nose .

I like that .

Ok .

Now we got the general proportion .

Now it's already there .

Now , the next thing is become simple .

It's a very much the simple thing that you draw from on the apple , draw a bellow , draw something you have to go through this step to find out the proportion relationship .

Now , the next thing I'm gonna do just watch me .

Ok , I'm gonna start putting some shapes .

That's the neck over here and coming down here and the shoulder lines about start over here and on this side .

Yeah , the shoulder starting in this location like that , that's good .

Now , there are shadows on the light side on the neck .

You can see that the light side and the shadow side is separated because the light lighting and coming to the lift the mouth here I can see that the light side is lighter .

You see the shadow coming over here , his chin has a little bit of four shape over here .

You can see that you can find it simple shape .

We're gonna talk about shape , shape , shape later and the nose is a little bit rounded and there's the natural right here .

You can see that the natural is right here and on this side of the nose a little bit darker because of the shadow side and I come back , come up to the eye .

Now I'm gonna fine tune the eye a little bit .

Ok .

It's almost there .

Give me a couple of minutes , it will be there , ok ?

The eyes and the eyebrows , you can see that the shape eyebrows over here , this a little bit darker and coming to this side and so on .

This is the eyebrows .

Now , we did not pay attention to the shape of the eyebrows .

Now , we do a simple thing and look at the eye and coming like this , the corner , ok ?

And under at the lower island a little bit darker over here .

So now we have the time to spend to look at the details .

We did not spend the time on the details because we're busy on something else and the bigger shape .

Now we're coming to the top over here , the forehead also around it right now , we can see that you see the shadow side over here .

Yes .

Now we do a little bit for the ears , the ear and the shadow side .

You don't see much details , but you don't have to draw too much .

You see that pretty easy .

You got the ear , you got the face over here .

Now , face a little close in a little bit like that on this side of the face also a little bit darker because the shadow side .

Do you see someone on the face on the page already ?

It looked like him , right and easy .

Right .

And on this side , I'm gonna do uh a little bit of like a little bit details and this the show that come up a little bit .

Oh Wow .

Now you believe me , if you follow the steps , one step at a time , you can do the same thing as you do any of those objects .
