This method is good as a guideline, but once you start drawing actual portraits you will find that some people's faces don't fit that grid so perfectly. Most people have one eye a tiny bit higher than the other, for example, or their nose is wider or skinnier than you would expect
that's great!!! i learned alot!!! i didn't really know how to make the eyes look real..... oh and now i can draw the mouth a lil better and i'm gna have to try with tha nose..... thnx
how long have you been drawing again? you keep on saying this wasn't enough time and how you're just doing a simple basic and speedy drawing but it looks FANTASTIC. it takes me like hours to do something like that and a trashcan full of eraser bits... PLEASE POST MORE!
this tutorial is fantastic! you inspired me to draw again after far too many years away from a pencil. thank you. did you ever make the sideways-facing tutorial you mentioned in the video?
Hey, I really like you work, and it help me so. I was having problems with the measurement of the head and now.. great, thanks a lot. Actually I like as well the way you lead the video and your cute voice and hands lol. how about a coffee and talk about some drawing work...
My art teacher told me you should never smudge with your finger, is this just for when you are drawing with regular pencils or is it okay to smudge when using things like charcoal? :)
I hate the guidelines and all that measurement. I do better when I don't draw distracting lines all over the place. I wish someone would show techniques where you don't need lines everywhere and refer to different shapes to draw facial parts. Not that you don't do good tutorials...
The head is an egg shape. The eyes are in the middle. The Eyebrows are 1 eye above. From the eyebrows to the chin half is the bottom of the nose. Half up is the hair line. Drawing a perfect triangle from the eyes down the middle will touch the top of the lips. In between the eyes in the middle, moving straight just outside of the nostrils is as small as the lips can be in neutral. The middle of the eyes is as wide. The lips is 1/3 distance from the nose to the chin. I always use these rules!! :D
WOW damn my friend told me for this tutorial and i am like "meh who can learn to draw on youtube?" but now when i saw it damn mary u r good teacher...and i like when u r talking how to draw...i just can say keep going...and damn u have my "like" byeee....
wow.... i Learned MORE from this tutorial than a year in my highschool Art class... I SUCK at drawing faces... so NOW.... you're in my fave's and IM GNNA PRACTICE.... kinda excited... sorry
wow that was amazing you didn't goin to like bunches of details just drew a simple face and it looked sooooo realistic and good. thx for the vid helped lotz!
Thanks soooo much!! This is actually the first time ive tried drawing a realistic face.... n ive seen many videos.. n urs is the one that worked best for me... im actually proud of my work.. thank you so much!
o.o you are amazing and like i was watching this and was like, damn it i always make my lips to WABAMB!!((then again i am just starting XD)) but yea, it was a good tut... o.o i love you have my babies, lmao jkjk
great tutorial, could you maybe do some on the main parts of the face, such as the eyes, lips and nose ? when i try to draw them they end up looking like a kid from kindergarten has drawn them and dont look very realistic :/

@Coolgirl0090 u can really use any pencil but to be more efficient u can use the "b" pencils. like B2 B6 ex.
it is fine to use a regular pencil. to blend it(so it's not just a bunch of lines,) u can use a q-tip or blending stub over the shading parts
