Drawing a girl 2- Portrait Drawing Techniques

Hello everyone how Y'all doing? Today I'm going to draw a portrait of a girl, Using Charcoal and Hb 4B pencil. I'm gonna get straight into this. I'm just going to give you a quick insight into my work and process.

IMG_1433.jpg
I think I've started sketching this with an HB pencil and then I switch over to charcoal. I just observed what I am drawing and try to accurately judge where I need to draw.

You've probably realized how I've started from the eye and the eyes are usually a starting point for me. For some reason, I always found that once I have the eyes run out and looking like I want. Then it helps me to easily create the rest of the drawing because it gives an idea of where I need to place the facial features.

I think I must have drawn the eyes about five times because I couldn't capture the look but eventually, I got to a point that I was happy with it.

I seem to have the most trouble with when drawing the shape of the head. It was at an angle where the head is on a slight tilt looking down so it was challenging for me to draw and get that effect.

I was happy with how this was turning out, I thought I might have screwed it up a little bit because the lips were a bit off. But then I adjusted it and ended up looking okay. Here I'm about to finish, Just drawing in the clothes.

Lovely work. Your control of the medium is amazing. I especially appreciate the highlights on the dark hair. Just the right amount to set it apart from the other dark areas. Well done. I hope to see more of your work soon.

For me, darker hair is harder to draw than light hair. Thank you for the support. I'll be sure to post more.

A cool drawing! I want to draw well like you.

@yoonteacher you probably can :)

I love how uncomplicated your lines are, it makes her expression so real. Nice work!

@yuppycups Thank you for the compliments!

A massive thumbs up for the magnificent drawing of yours!!!!🤙🏻😍 a great talent deserves the best, God's given gift✨

@lovebabemeee. Thank you. It's not really god given. I just practice. And I think with everything If you practice hard, you can win every battle.

I love pencil painting. And I am such a big Fan of your paintings.

I’m happy to hear that @usman93

Beautiful portrait... The eyes brought life to it... It's more than just a work of art... You made it look real... More grace

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. The most important are the eyes it’s like the Window to another side. @biljed

and it's Like the eyes sees it all. Setting light to every other part.. Ur creativity is alluring...

Wow!! Awesome work!! 😱😍Dnt know why I'm never good at art haha sad!!

Ahaha you’re good at it other kind of art!

posstingan nice, i've upvote you, do not forget my upvote @cutdeasativa

Yes sir @cutdeasativa

I think being spontaneous in your own art makes it more legit and satisfying...most masterpieces are made with spontaneity rather than strict adherence to rules...only my opinion of course coz I cant really draw.😬😀

Yes you got it! @thoughtsatdawn

I never could do faces.. they always ended up looking unhumanly! Lol ! you have some great talent! Beautiful picture!

Thanks for the compliment! It does takes some practice. I’m not very good in the beginning. Have a blessed weekend @mamabear72

I just found out that you are good at painting too...
We have an artist here... Bravo...👍

I draw more than I paint but thank you @saiful27

It's okay, your welcome...

Hello,
Your art is

I can not wait to see what you have coming next! Amazing!

Go show the love back upvote

in advance​.

Thank you thank you

your stuff is really awesome! thanks for sharing

Nice work! Love the outlines and shadowing and overall portrait result. I m an artist myself and its great to see other artists and their work! Keep it up! Good luck!

I check out your work! you have some nice painting! @pikasodan

Great drawing! Thanks for sharing your techniques! I just posted a new portrait painting of mine on my blog, feel free to check it out and tell me what you think xx.

You should share your techniques too!. I love how you color your image. Very nice!

this looks very pretty,you painted it from the heart,because if the paint count on the hands of course,I'm sure will waste energy,even though you didn't say to start painting from the eyes,I already know,I never learn but unfortunately I'm not animating and not paint with my heart,so I little know about the paint

Thank you! you seems to know what you're talking about :)

Nice very talented bro

Thank you @adnan381

No puedo dejar de mirar tan grandiosa obra. Excelente , me encanta. XD

you have too much talent, you should open your own studio. teaching other people can be a virtue.

Opening a studio is too much work ahaha I used to travel around and teach people with Bussiness

You should focus on more posts like these because you really have too much talent, right now everything is online and well I think you were born to teach one way or another.

Good work and beautiful girl :)

Amazing work, love the step by step, it really shows how you achieved the final work!

Thank you. I was thinking of doing videos on dtube

impregnate your status

Excellent use of contrast and value. Great job this is a highly rendered drawing.

Thank you. But I still think I need to improve

that is a great mentality to have

wonderful picture.

Thank you

Nice drawing as always. Do you draw as a hobby or are you a professional artist?

I just draw as a hobby. Sorry For the slow reply

Oh no need to ask then, I just saw one of your replies saying you draw as a hobby. You do have a great hubby then.

Thanks my other hobby is photography

Just one word: awesome! :O

Thank you!!! @dpaglanuaris

Awesome artist

Thank you

When ever I sketch a face, I have to use circle and ovals to get the placement of the facial features in the proper position. Beautiful drawing.

That’s how i first start too @unicornvomit

wow i used to draw a lot but lost the detail instincts and shading how do you regain that ability . i have a ENTP / ADHD thing going so when i lost focus on drawing its just gone now hope you keep it up in the future man i think ill draw again thanks to this for therapeutic reasons have a good day and keep it up .

It’s pretty easy I just practice a lot. Usually I worried the detail after. And just focus on the color first and where lines gonna be. @makben93

divinely drawings! your portrait is really beautiful!

Thank you so much! @bariski

Nice art.

Thanks

Wow¡

Your drawing skills are quite good¡

Very nice portrait drawing¡

Thank you very much @gandhi-mxcz

Such a cool and interesting process!

Glad you think so! @inthekno

Amazing

Thank you @afirkablr

Drawing comes natural to you. But the girl, with the lonley expression in her eyes, is bit of gloomy.

Thank you @prch I like it gloomy sometimes.

Hi. Do you use live models or pictures? Very nice work.

It depends. Sometimes I can draw from my mind.

You are really a genius....keep it up dear

Thank you so much @davidadkins
