Learn Pencil Portrait Drawing – Stage Two
In this stage of portrait drawing, we shall discuss how to progress on the face where eyes are already located and nearly drawn. The drawing of nose and mouth would be our next agenda. NOSE: if we look at nose of a person, we can see that it looks like a series of curves. Thus there will be less straight-line work here. But you can proceed by drawing two nostrils as they look from a distance. Marking of the main nose-line would define the shape of nose helping to make the whole face identifiable. Here the nose lines should be drawn by giving less pressure on tip of your pencil, as you would require these lines to wither away while applying final shading. MOUTH: The next step will be to mark the space for mouth. This feature, the drawing of mouth, would make the whole face immediately identifiable. So it would be prudent to concentrate while drawing the lines for mouth. You can start here just by drawing a delicate line where two lips meet. Mouth comprises two lips, and the upper lips tend to be very different from person to person. Look out for the exact shape of the upper lip of the person you are making portrait. The lower one would be easier then. It would be slightly bigger in size than the upper lip. Keenly observe the creases and the stretches visible on the lower lip; draw the same giving slight pressure on the tip of your pencil.
