Welcome to a new Wacom sketch lesson. Today we will learn how to draw a woman’s face. This – as we all know – can be a beautiful sight and is also one of my own favorites. Of course, all faces look slightly different, depending on their origin, age, number of ears, etc., not to mention the model of each artist. Sometimes even the same face looks completely different in the morning than it does in the evening.
In this step-by-step guide we will learn some dasar guidelines that portrait, caricature, comic and anime artists all over the international have been using for many years when painting realistic faces. Of course, these are not mandatory rules and every artist can adapt and reinterpret them to their own style. With a task as challenging as the female face, it can be tremendously helpful to practice and keep this guide in mind.
In this course we will draw a female face from our imagination and learn some essential tricks and techniques to make it look realistic. We will start by constructing the head shape, then add the features, and finally give the face some fine-tuning and color. I hope you find the course inspiring, and that you will be able to use this approach for yourself in the future.
This course is mainly aimed at beginners, but an experienced artist may discover something new too. I’m also going to talk about the workflow on the pc with a graphic pill and the advantages of digital devices. However, you can follow the course with pen and paper as well.
I wish you a lot of fun while drawing and great results.
