Doing Pencil Drawings of Portraits
Doing pencil drawings of people is fun. Try to enjoy it and have fun without stressing too much about technical things on how to draw.
I started out by lightly laying in the general form of the face/head
After the lay-in was established, I started to introduce the features, like here inserting the eye in the eye region of the lay-in.
I continued the same procedure as above, introducing more features, the other eyes, nose, mouth, etc on top of the lay-in understructure
same thing here, more features and also developed them more, going back to the eye adding more details
Added the outline of the face on top of the understructure to give it more solid form.
Added some hair
