My Secret Outline Technique 🤔_ Pushpa Outline Tutorial _ @subhojitMondalArt

Hey , I'm Darlene .

And you're watching a rapid fire art tutorial .

You're watching part two of two .

If you haven't watched part one yet , where I cover the front and side view of the human head , please find the video link in the card and in the description in this video , I'm covering the last two poses .

So it might be confusing if you watch this one .

First .

These are the tools I'm gonna use a colored pencil for drawing construction lines and a graphic pencil for the finalized drawings .

If you want to create your own reference material , you'll need a styrofoam ball and marker to draw lines on it .

You'll need a toothpick and finally a need eraser .

We're gonna make some models with these to help us draw certain facial features .

If you don't have a Nable eraser , you can use playdough , see recipe below .

Another handy reference would be a rottable human skull .

All of these tools will be linked up in the description .

Now let's continue where we left off .

Let's draw ahead in the three quarter view .

Now start with a circle .

Once again , this one's gonna be a little tricky , but it's also the most fun and most rewarding one to draw .

Well , for me personally , before I continue , I want to introduce something very important .

It's called the axis picture , an imaginary pole running through the center of the ball .

The head revolves on this axis , just like how this styrofoam ball revolves about the toothpick .

The axis will really come in handy throughout the construction process going forward and you'll see why as we continue on When I rotate the ball to the left , you'll see that the middle line actually becomes more and more curved to accurately draw that curve .

Let's draw a full oval or ellipse that's well balanced along the axis .

I'm using the same technique for drawing circles just hovering until my pencil movement looks and feels right , then lowering my pencil to create a faint oval , it's barely visible .

So let me make it a little darker .

The line on the other side of the ball is represented using a dotted line .

You can see that the oval is well balanced along the axis .

Draw the brow line perpendicular to the axis .

Constructing a sphere properly is one of the most difficult things about this method .

This one is one of the easiest ones to construct .

If we keep the brow line straight , the sphere can be easily rotated left to right by changing the width of the ellipse .

Keep the middle line straight and play with the brow line to get the head looking up or down the wider your lips .

The more extreme the rotation using this simple method , we can rotate the head from this front facing position to any one of these directions left , right up or down to draw heads in any other position .

We're going to use a different method which I'll cover in the very last example .

Those ones are a little tricky to draw .

OK .

Let's get back to our three quarter head split the top and bottom half of the ball into thirds .

So we can draw the side plane .

The top third will mark the top of our side plane and the bottom third marks the bottom for a head in the three quarter view , the side plane will look like an oval .

The more the head is turned to the side , the wider , more circular the side plane will appear it kind of spans across half of the sphere , draw a vertical Earline , make sure it's parallel to the axis and that each quadrant is fairly equal in size .

We already have our brow line .

Let's draw the hairline which is parallel to the brow line , align it with the top of your side plane , draw out the nose line also parallel to the brow and align it with the bottom of your side .

Pla make sure the spacing is equal between each section .

Don't forget to extend your middle line down to form the front of his face .

Let's make it parallel to the axis , make sure the spacing between the hair , brow and nose are equal and then draw your chin line by measuring the space between the brow and nose .

Bring it down here to get his chin .

Let's draw the far side of his face by connecting the sphere to chin .

The jawline is barely visible from this angle , this side of his jawline by extending the Earline down and angled towards the chin .

This next step is optional , but it helps a lot with sectioning .

So when you start drawing the features , it's less intimidating .

419.049 --> 483.179

Let's draw his ear between the brow and nose , placing it in this quadrant .

Also , it's slanted back like so the steps are similar to the previous heads we drew .

So I'm not going to narrate this part .

Now , for the rest of his features to make this process easier , you can draw or imagine the skull and planes of the face .

If you can't visualize that quite yet , practice drawing them until they come more naturally to you .

It's important to not just think about what you're seeing from your viewpoint , but also consider the sides that you can't see .

Can you visualize the shape of his eyebrows and where exactly you would draw them ?

Let's go ahead and draw those in .

It is pretty difficult to just draw the nose at this angle without any guidelines .

So working out a simple blocky 3d nose really helps try your best to balance it on the middle line to draw the base of his nose , start in the center where the middle line and nose line intersect and draw towards the tip , then draw the side of his nose wrapping around your planar guidelines and then draw the nostril in between from this angle .

The far side of his nose is still visible but much less .

So if you want to study the nose from different angles , you don't need any fancy tools , just grab a needle eraser or some play dough , create a triangular nose shape and add two round pieces on the side .

For each nostril , it's quite sloppy .

But you get the idea , draw the side of his face while visualizing the shape of his skull .

Where are the cheekbones ?

Where do they end ?
