Pencil Sketches of Faces


Has that ever happened to you before? You start drawing a face to find that when you're done, it is far from the person you are trying to pull?

The problem is that all faces are a unique combination of a set of functions. When we take these functions from each other, we see that there are eleven different functions. We all have different lips, different noses, different eyes, different ears, different hair and different facial types.

And when all these different functions together, it makes the task harder for the artist to capture the visual similarity of paper.

Also, we have to take note of the age of the face that we are drawing. If you are drawing babies, the best time to sign them when their sleep. Since you can not get them moving around when you make them.

In drawing babies, keep drawing simple with few lines and only capture the features of the face.

If you sign a child, it features more defined compared to a baby. So you'll have to lock in a row with a stronger and darker lines. But the skin is still smooth and gentle. Try not to add too many lines on the face of a child.

Teenagers are young adults. You may contact subscribe to a teenager just like you would approach drawing on the background of an adult. The key to draw a mature face is to capture the essence of the face.

This means that capture the personality of the face. Some people have a certain look. Some have a shy appearance and some have a mischievous look and so on. Try to capture that in your drawing.

Finally, remember not to draw all your faces to look like Hollywood stars. People do not look like plastic in real life. So keep your designs realistic by including all details that make your drawing look more human.
