How to Draw Faces Loosely | Step-by-Step Tutorial & Pro Tips

[@Amz11_13]

I love how it starts off looking messy and turns into something beautiful 😍. Magic!

[@anjalishukla8980]

I really appreciate this video because sometimes i just forget to draw and then the videos like this help me back with some new techniques .

[@SketchingScottie]

that’s so good Anjali! thanks for watching

This has helped me grasp the basics of constructing a face when drawing! 3/4 view will probably be a challenge for a while, but straight-on and profile views are a lot more achievable now!

[@kathiecopeland5169]

You are a natural born teacher. Thank you.

[@gillesker]

I really love how you draw. The mix between expressive one line silhouette and the way you simplify detail is neat! I didn't find complete course on your website. I would be interested into following one with you.

[@EbenezerSheffler]

Your tutorials are so helpful! I often have problems with over thinking and having hard lines and erase mars but this helps.

[@DesGreene]

Thanks Scottie! I'm starting to get some faces that look vaguely human now! 😁 I think this video really pulls things together after some of your earlier ones on proportion etc. I've found pencil to be more forgiving than pen until I build confidence. Thanks again👍

[@ElizabethAStrootman]

Outstanding! This is just the kind of instruction I need as I work on my book. Your skill is masterful. I am not quite able to draw the portrait in ink…. Yet. Thank you thank you!

[@GreenlifeFin]

Wow, exactly what I needed! This will be saved and rewatched. Thanks so much!

Yeah, I like ink drawings

[@dfinchermd]

Very, very helpful!

[@Lobstrique]

this is amazing and extremely helpful. damn

[@neeratyoy]

Thanks a lot for this! I end up drawing a lot of lines i feel whereas you are able to choose representative lines so well. Is there some intuition or rule of thumb i can borrow to not be so verbose with the lines i draw?

[@SketchingScottie]

I try to minimise lines but I think it comes down to practice and your own style👍🏼

[@anjagalan6905]

You are a great teacher of art. Cool and motivating. :)

[@SketchingScottie]

Thank you very much Anja😊

[@ellymeerleveldt614]

Thank you for this video Scottie👌✏️

[@SketchingScottie]

You're welcome Elly🤗

[@marco_priests]

Hi Scottie, can I ask for some advice? What can I do to make a portrait look more like the reference? I tried to draw some of my colleagues following your videos and tips but in the end the sketches seemed to be other people... Anyway great video!

[@SketchingScottie]

Hi Marco! One tip is to slightly exaggerate some prominent features they have so the sketch looks closer to the reference. Also using pencil to lightly draw construction helps so you get the features in the right position. But it is a challenge when sketching straight to pen like this video and I am only aiming for an impression myself 😊

[@powermom74]

Loved the video. Please keep doing this

[@teresacai8900]

[@lindsayhengehold5341]

I’d love to learn how to sketch better, I’ve always had a fascination with Native Americans and would love to learn how to sketch a Native American warrior or chiefs face and would love to learn how to sketch any person in general.

[@Alibabablah]

Pick a picture for a reference that you admire and can see in your head and just keep trying it...

[@SUGAR_XYLER]
