Drawing a Female Face with Tears - Sketchbook Practice

Hello , my dear friends .

Welcome back to my channel .

I hope you're all doing fine .

In this video , I will show you process of drawing a female face full of emotions .

Actually , I was going to draw a regular study of a face usually .

And um I used the reference photo for creating the basic proportions of the face and facial features .

And then when I was studying the photograph , I just felt like the face was kind of empty and like I could blank page not telling any story .

So I decided to put some feelings into it to express something more , maybe even myself .

Hm , maybe you can find yourself there as well in her glossy eyes .

So I looked for some photographs of people expressing their emotions , feeling sad , crying , feeling any pain .

And I could see we are just the same the way our eyebrows band , the way the skin falls into little wrinkles when we have some troubles , um the shiny sparkles in the eyes and I took these little features and I tried to apply them into the sketch .

It was kind of therapy for me , I guess to go through this .

Um I could also see how it affected me just watching these photographs , even though I did not know any one of those people , I could feel some kind of compassion or comprehension .

And so yeah , not just the drawing itself was part of a learning process .

I spent much more time with this drawing than I had expected .

I kept redrawing these eyes and I felt like the book was still unfinished in the middle of the plot all the time .

So and the words just couldn't stop coming .

Hm Also , I wanted to make her eyes the main character of the book .

I wanted to make you feel I identified with the character .

Um I tried to make them pop off the paper uh also to adapt to them .

So I use soft pencils to create really dark values , maybe because I felt like adding more and more would make them speak loudly for me and still keep something mysterious for themselves at the same time .

Yes .

When it comes to the rest of the drawing , it's , it also took a lot of time .

Um And I wanted to build up the values gradually with very soft layers of shading .

Um You can barely see the progress at this moment .

Each stroke makes such a little difference .

You're getting there , you're getting to some visible results really slowly , little by little .

But the results show up in the end , I love to learn from the drawing practice .

It's never only about developing the techniques of drawing .

It's a learning process offering much more when we try to find the real value behind everything we do or go through .

And it's not easy at all .

I know .

I know , I know .

Um but this joining taught me to be more , a little more patient .

Well , I wish I would be even more patient , but I believe I'm on the right way .

Mm All these little light pencil strokes make such a huge difference all together .

And I realized that even though I can't see the results immediately , there can be a huge difference in the end .

It's actually really helpful .

Yeah .

Uh in case you would like to um watch the real time versions of my videos and see more tips and narrated processes .

I um would be really happy if you consider becoming part of my patron family .

Um The link is in the description down below this video and there are more than 150 videos right now and there are also a few tiers to choose from .

So yeah , it would be great to to be part of your art journey and um you can cancel any time if you if you don't want to continue and there will be a huge support .

So thank you for that .

I believe we shouldn't try to hide our tears or sadness and cover it with a smile .

Instead , teas may be a way in the nature taught us .

To speak .

When our mouth keeps quiet , it doesn't even affect her beauty .

Just notice her eyebrows today bend like a spine of an open book you can easily read from .

Mhm .

Her wrinkles are like a tattoo on the skin coming from something she would truly remember just inking without the pain on the outside and her ears quietly say all the unspoken words softly care .

Her skin showing sympathy and tender self care , a face , sadness from her face and lead everything down to the ground to water , seat of relief .

And I actually almost finished her story .

But then I realized I did not like it .

I did , I did not like how it was going .

I'm not sure why exactly .
