practice drawing portraits with me | how I draw the ideal facial proportions

Watch the full tutorial on how to draw portraits here:
Hello! I am back with another drawing video. I'm still practicing heaps with how to draw portraits and I would like to share that process with you, because the reality is that PRACTICE TAKES TIME.
In this video I talk about my process with practicing. The thoughts and inner monologues that I have during a practice session are all said out loud during this video. It's also getting be pumped up to create more practice session videos because for the next couple of weeks, that is my priority. I want to master - get comfortable and confident with the ideal facial proportions, as well as a variety of facial proportions, because the beauty of faces is the diversity. I definitely lack practice in drawing diverse faces, so I want to take the time and effort into practicing various facial proportions. However, I believe in starting with the foundation. That is what this video is all about.
Stay tuned for the next couple of videos where I also show the process of how I practice drawing portraits with different facial proportions! Hope it all goes well!

I wonder what past-Zyra would think of future-Zyra learning from your own tutorials! I think it's adorable, and you get the benefit of someone explaining things in a way you perfectly understand. I actually love how effortlessly you added the hair at the end since it keeps the focus on her facial features. Til next video

haha past Zyra would’ve thought it’s cringe to listed to my own voice 🤣🤣🤣

Practicing with you babe! I struggle in same areas you do so it’s nice to be able to relate that I’m not alone.

You got this! 💕

Tbh i feel like i escaped the drawing only eurobeauty standards phase in realistic portrait learning only because i started learning portraits with papa emeritus iv as the reference lol but to be fair his face structure is so fun to draw for me i can't do anyone else atm

I love that you’ve got a muse! I am yet to find my own muse 😆

L72 it's a real talent to be talking and drawing at the same time, I can't do that

hehe
