The stages of drawing a portrait

in art •  7 years ago 

Here are the various stages of a pencil portrait that I drew recently.

Stage 1 - get the shape of the face and the outline of the key features

Stage 2 - start adding tone

Stage 3 - darken the shading to give the face more shape and define the features better

Stage 4 - make sure the whole drawing is at the same level so that no one area is ahead of any other area

Stage 5 - the finished piece!
