Week 6 : Introduction to Portrait Drawings

---

Lesson 1 :

---

1 min Blind Contour Drawing

After seeing my drawing, I think this is abstract but I still can observe that is a human.

---

3 mins Blind Contour Drawing

It is better than the last drawing, as I have tried to put my hand on the nose, which I drew as the centre of the drawing and it is helpful for me to put the eyes and mouth, ...... on the right part.

1 min Opposite - Handed

In 1 min, I didn't draw too many details, as I tried to adapt to using my left-hand drawing.

---

3 mins Opposite - Handed

I used my left hand to draw Voniee's left face and her wearing jacket.

20 mins Final Drawing

In 20 mins, I try my best to draw the features, action, angle and position of my partner Voniee.

Lesson 2 :

---

The photos that i used to draw :

---

The person in these images is my cousin, but also my bestie. She is the one who also has an important role in my life. We grow up together and studied in the same school in Hong Kong.

Every time both of us have any secrets or something that we aren't willing to tell our parents, we will talk with each other privately. We will help each other to think about the solution or express our different thoughts.

We are closely such twins. We will play, share and celebrate birthdays with each other. Even though I am studying abroad now, we still keep in contact, like we will have a video call or phone call with each other, caring about our recent status.

1 min sketch

I just draw the framework of the person as a whole.

3 mins sketch

It is better than the last sketch, as I have drawn more details.

The process of the final sketch :

Step 1: Draw the draft of the sketch.

Step 2: Start to draw details, like the eyes, nose, and mouth...

---

Step 3: Start to shade the hair, like using the hatch and shading type.

Step 4: Continue to shade more details, like hair, eyes, mouth, nose,..., then finish.
