PORTRAITS - How to draw and shade a realistic face

[@sabus4312]

one shot one kill, no measuring needed, proportions on point on the first try! a magician you are!.

[@PeterJochems]

Thank you for your kind words :-)

[@sabus4312]

Parth Shukla well yeah its a good thing

[@Razvan528]

What proportions he didn t even made the contour of the face at our collage if u start like this teachers will call u an amateur and probs an idiot 😂

[@Razvan528]

Keep in mind that this is not how u start drawing, as a beginner nwver start with the eyes mouth and nose.

I love that you use the cross-hatching I find that aesthetics so much nicer than blending

[@chlopaczekhula3524]

Finnaly someone who likes this weird way of drawing

[@senjukawaragi5781]

Even I, actually I find it more interesting than the blended ones, they're prettier and raw

[@user-qh2in1wz6v]

Haha ..I do that

[@toyah6459]

Chlopaczek Hula It’s not “weird”

[@dinosharttt]

It’s not cross hatching he did hatching

[@Geliqueancheta_3]

I haven't seen someone drawing without erasing some mistakes. Perfect.

[@sebastiangudino9377]

I would argue you can't really erase when shading. The eraser will just smudge the graphite. You can totally grace when make the sketch and measuring the proportions and stuff. But when you start shading you done really have a way back now

[@gulnisacalskan7544]

This is me. When i finish the right eye, i draw only one round for left eye. After that i sign the under of drawing. Finally i throw the pen.

[@africaart]

Start with the left eye. You probably right-handed so start with the left eyes and move to the right.

That was incredible , I've derived numerous benefits of how to draw and shadow the face, I'm a beginner at drawing 😄thanks for these substantial lessons 😀

Dude, you're my savior, I started doing the shadows that way and, dude, that made A LOT of difference

Yo im jealous of how easily u draw the those eyes like its nothing. It would take me hours just to get the right size and how far apart the eyes are. And thats not including the part where im making it look anything close to what im drawing. 👏👏👍👍✌️

Hey thanks!

Every time I thought, "oh no, maybe he's going to mess it up by doing that," you found a way to make it look right. Damn, that's good.

You're a scientist at this. I'm amazed at how you easily get the exact shapes and shadows. Amazing.

Thanks! It's Canson XL Mix-Media paper 300 grs. (the blue sketch books)

[@peterlennig]

Thank you for sharing your talented art . I also assume there is a lot of regular training behind your seemingly effortless presentations. Anyway its so valuable for us to see and hear your commentary. If you would like it could be of great interest to follow a build-up of a face also with a ballpoint pen and in real time. There it would maybe be tiresome to do the voice over.... Also if you would care to share something concerning your schooling and general art training. Thank you

[@PeterJochems]

Hi Peter, as a teen I was drawing a lot. I think most training I had comes from that time. Thank you for your nice comments. Thank you for your suggestion for a ball point drawing. I drew a lot as a teen. Then I went to artschool, The ABV in Tilburg, the Netherlands. After this I concentrated more on studying the old masters/ painting, and the old literature on art. I have started a new channel about this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIutp5qQgqmAeK8
