The Ultimate Drawing Guide:

How to Master the Art of Drawing

Introduction
As a self-taught artist, I can tell you that drawing skill can be learned. All you need is to know the
basic techniques of drawing, to have little will and motivation and a lot of practice.

Anyone can learn to draw if you show him the basic techniques and incentive, Learn how to draw and
improve your drawing skills in a relatively short time on this site.

No matter whether you are a beginner, hobbyist artist or art student here you will find all the free
techniques and a lot of tips on how to successfully master this skill.

Drawing accessories - Accessories required for drawing is relatively inexpensive and can be easily
found in any better equipped bookstore. In fact, everything you need to get started is a pencil and
eraser, and as a paper for drawing, you can use an ordinary copy paper.

What kind of drawing paper you use depends primarily on the techniques that you intend to do.

Although for the drawing you can use almost every kind of paper, however, you should know some
basic features that adorn the paper for drawing, because different mediums as ordinary graphite
pencil, colored pencils, watercolor, and ink and so on require different types of paper to achieve
maximum effect.

Quality paper must carry labels that indicate all of its quality, and very often, if in the form of blockpaper has a label that indicates all the techniques suitable to give the paper.

Weight and thickness of the paper. Paper thickness is measured in grams per square meter and
generally is produced for drawing in the range of 80g / m2 up to more than 300g / m2 which is used
for the so-called aqueous vehicles such as water-color.
On the picture above, next to the weight of 170g / m2 are also tags that indicate that this paper is for
sketching, the number of sheets of paper in it (50 sheets) and paper size (30x30cm).
The block of drawing paper are produced in size from A6 to A1 (at the bottom I put the size of the Aweighted), usually they have at least one hard cover which makes it easier to draw "while standing"
and can be found connected by an adhesive or coil. In both cases it is good because you can remove
the sheets and then continue to work on your desk or on the drawing board as I use in the absence of
the desk.
Surface roughness (of the paper). The roughness of paper or teeth are one of the most important
characteristics precisely because of these "teeth" depends on how much graphite or other media will
adhere to the paper. Roughened paper has a mark "cold press" (cold pressed) and can be roughly
divided into three degrees of roughness -slightly roughened, roughened and medium paper with
extremely rough surface that is used for drawing with soft media such as charcoal, chalk or pastel.
Smooth paper with little or no texture is obtained by "ironing" the paper under pressure and that paper
is used for techniques such as lithography and especially the ink because the paper hardly absorbs the
liquid and does not convert lines into stains as cold pressed paper does.
Durability. Labels on paper as "acid free" (neutral acidity), "Age-resistant" (resistant to time,
aging) or "Archival quality" (quality suitable for archiving) indicate that it is a high quality paper that
you will not crumble and will not yellowing over time.
The color of the paper. Drawing paper is manufactured in a large range of colors. For drawing
whit pencil is mainly used so-called natural white, which unlike bleached or clean white paper,
copier paper for example, has a very mild gray or yellow hue depending on what kind of raw material
it is made of.

 Another characteristic that lately is becoming more popular is so-called bio-ecological factor, and
its relationship to the raw material that produces paper for drawing so now you can find quality paper
obtained by recycling, and many manufacturers have their own forests which they, after exploitation
process again renew and it is indicated on their products.
Regardless of whether you buy paper for drawing in the form of a block or a piece, always
look for markings on it to indicate the characteristics of the paper.
If they cant be found, consult with the retailer or someone who understands.

How to choose which drawing paper is right

for you?
Once again I repeat that the first and most important factor when choosing paper for drawing is a
technique which you will use.
For exercise, you can use any paper, starting from the most ordinary notebooks with or without lines,
copier paper, school sketchbook in all sizes, packaging paper and even cardboard.
You who live near printing or cardboard factory where a variety of paper comes on pallets in large
sheets and rolls try to buy very cheap paper to practice from them, you can even get a free one that is
unusable for them.
Ideal paper for working with pencils is the range from 110g / m2 to 180g / m2 with a lightlyroughened or medium-roughened surface. How much paper is roughened you can see if you set it so
that the light falls on it at a very oblique angle making so that its "teeth" make shadows.
Too slick paper looks quite nice and is pleasant to touch but terrible for drawing because the graphite
is not holding on to him well and even pencil can deviate by its smooth surface making it impossible
to draw.
If you love doing photo-realistic drawings then get thicker paper with small teeth because that way of
drawing seeking constant corrections with eraser, and if the paper is thin or very dentate it can be
easily damaged and unusable.
Do not be too "light" on colored paper because very often, especially one in vibrant colors, because
it can hide" your drawing, and always its color comes to the fore ... unless you actually target that.
Leave paper in color to work with pastels and crayons.

It is desirable to obtain a pair of blocks for sketching with the spiral.

Mainly produced in that ideal range of paper thicknesses, you have them in various sizes, the quality
is excellent and have at least one crust of cardboard which makes them good for transport and
drawing on the spot.
The sheets are easily removed from a spiral so that you can continue with the drawing on the table or
if the drawing is finished you can shelter it in your folder for the finished drawings or to frame it.
Make sure you get one block A5 size (15x21cm) with a hard cover because it is perfect to carry and
sketching.
Another factor that determines which paper you will use is your own taste and desire. If it makes you
happy to work on white, varnish A4 paper then do on this kind of paper and if it is a challenge for you
to use colored paper for drawing size 90x120cm do not let anything stop in that your intention.
Do not forget that the drawing is fun in which you should enjoy and not mandatory school subject.
A size format in millimeters:
A0 - 841mm x 1189mm
A1 - 594mm x 841mm
A2 - 420mm x 594mm
A3 - 297mm x 420mm
A4 - 210mm x 297mm
A5 - 148mm x 210mm
A6 - 105mm x 148mm
At for the end of this topic-I really do not know where I god the idea that this is "brief guide!? Thats
a self-taught artist for you.

Why Drawing
I will try here to explain why drawing. Those who already draw know exactly what is going on, and
for you who want to learn to draw, do it as soon as you can, because you have a lot of reasons for
that.
Drawing is a great hobby, but even more than that. Drawing as a hobby offers a lot of pleasure. Every
moment of socializing with pen will fill you with joy. As a hobby drawing is supported by the fact
that the basic required materials do not cost much and can be used relatively long ... let's say with a
pen you can draw more than a dozen drawings, normally it depends on the size of the drawing, and
details of the application technique of pen and one eraser will last you longer.
Drawing can be more than a hobby; it may be the answer to the question of how to earn extra money.
Although I personally think that today only whit drawing is almost impossible to survive, it is still a

good way to earn a little money by drawing portraits of people and pets and favorite scenes of a city
or nature.
I have to say that personally made drawing is the best gift you can give your loved one. Regardless of
who is the gift is intended you'll do the right thing if you give it as a gift to someone. People always
accept such a gift with joy, and especially women, for some reason, to accept such a gift with
undisguised enthusiasm.
There is a lot of symbolism in the act of giving your work as a gift!
Learning how to draw is a good basis for future architects, engineers and especially for those who
wish to engage in the arts. Learn how to draw and draw, because it will not only help you easily go
through the learning process, rather than with drawing you pump up your instinct and creativity which
is very important for your future life.
And in the end I can say that people were always, and now look to those who govern the art of
drawing with a great deal of sympathy and enthusiasm which, believe me, really can be felt.
Add to it the fact that anyone who wants to, can learn to draw, the answer to the question Why
Drawing is more than obvious.

"He who loves practice without theory is like the sailor who boards a ship without a rudder and
compass and never knows where he will be kicked out." - Leonardo da Vinci

I made exactly that mistake when I started to learn pencil drawing and a few times I felt despair and I
was ready to believe that "I was not born for that," to abandon the drawing all the way and look for
another hobby.
And then I began to explore the art of drawing, first on the Internet, then I bought a couple of books on
the subject and began regularly to communicate on the topic of drawing with professional artists that I
knew then.
I could not believe that when; following the advice and applying the right techniques of drawing, in
just a few weeks I started to draw very well.

For pencil drawing you do not need talent, all you need is patience and perseverance.
These pages will take you through the basic drawing techniques that will help you become able to
draw whatever you want. Use the maximum from numerous tips and suggestions to hone your
capabilities and to experience the unique feel while practicing drawing.
Before you begin, it is desirable to know...
Taking the correct position of the body is certainly the first thing you need to consider before you sit
down to draw. Seemingly unimportant and often neglected issue, but it is very important to pay

attention to the fact what pose will you take while you draw.
To hold a pencil? Is there a magical way of holding the pen with which you can draw better and
faster or it doesnt matter how to hold the pen in your hand? Well, forget the magical way, it does not
exist, but there are some general rules that can help you draw.
If you looked at all the ways that you can hold a pencil, it's time to learn what natural gesture is,
how to discover what is your natural movement and how to make it perfect.
Good Habits in the drawing is a term I invented for its own purposes, which refers not to the act of
drawing, but it is a summation of habits associated with the drawing that are desirable to establish
from the start because you will be more organized and efficient.
Is there a difference between the sketches and drawings? By definition, the sketch is freehand
drawing that focuses on capturing the essence rather than the detail.

Beginning...
It can be said that the line is a basic element in the drawing, so it is helpful to know some basic
concepts and features associated with it.
Announcing the visible confines of an object is the simplest way to draw it. The contour represents
visible boundaries of the object, describing its outermost limits.
Use Negative Space scene as a way to get the contour of the object of your interest.
Learn how to draw quickly and easily using simple geometric shapes. Try to use a few simple
geometric shapes, such as triangle, square, circle, and so on. You can draw almost everything you
see.
Do you fail to accurately set the shadows, the way they are on the object to be drawn? The
technique, called pencil shading is the right solution. A very simple technique which will in four
steps, it will help to accurately set the shadows on the drawing and to achieve maximum similarity
with what you draw.
The following are exercises that will help you achieve the basic drawing skills, and that is
coordination between your hands and what your eyes see.
Each of these exercises alone, if done regularly, it will increase your ability of drawing very
soon.

What does it mean?

Drawing is watching!

Artists and art theorists will tell you that Drawing is watching when you need in one sentence to
describe the essence of drawing techniques.
They will tell you, that during the drawing, more than two-thirds of their time is spent on watching an
object that they are drawing, and the rest of what you draw.
They look as closely as possible to transfer all forms, lines, light and darkness associated with the
object to paper. They copied the shape of the object as they see it, in this, given moment.
So we can safely say instead of Drawing is watching that the drawing actually copying.
The truth is that artists do not like that word, because the word has a negative connotation when used
in the context of creativity. It reminds being not inventive, even theft. That's why artists and all who
create do not like that word.
But drawing is just that-copying.
While drawing we copy on paper figure of a certain object, head or body of a man, a house, an animal
or landscape, all one, we copy the lines of that object on paper. Even when we draw abstract forms
we actually copy the images from our imagination and put them on paper.
Almost all the great artists used various methods of copying, the famous Leonardo da Vinci and
Albrecht Durer to, the most famous German Renaissance painter and theorist, who invented several
very successful devices and methods for accurately mapping.
You will be surprised how many people actually use the principle of tracing and copying during their
creative work. It is done by painters, cartoonists, architects... and in doing so have developed a real
arsenal that is used during the copying process.

On the picture in top is one of these devices, and that is the so-called light box or a box with a light
on which a picture is placed of what you want to draw, and over her a paper. Below the picture is a
pantograph that is used for tracing in scale.

Proper body position is important!

Therefore, the correct position of the body in the drawing is not just an empty phrase, how
comfortably you are settled, determinates the ultimate effect or how good will your drawing be.
I mean, there's no philosophy. Just think what would be the result if while you are doing something
you constantly think how uncomfortable you are?
That's right. The end result will be below your true capabilities.

The correct position of the body includes:

-Sitting on a chair whit your back straight;

-Knees bent at approximately a right angle;
-Feet laid on the floor or on a specially designed support;
-Forearm comfortably resting on the table.
The correct position of the body is easiest to achieve on the drawing table, if you have one. In
combination with an office chair, you will have a perfect place where you will be able to draw.
These tables have the ability to raise the working surface at an angle which is very important as you
draw, especially if you are working with a large format drawings.
If the drawing is larger its upper part, or the upper part of the paper is further from you than the lower
part. So if you draw on a flat (horizontal) surface you can very easily miss proportion and as a result
you will get a drawing where the upper parts of what you draw are unnaturally higher than lower.
If you do not have this table, then select most comfortable chair you have, take the correct body
position, grasp the basis for drawing whit one hand at the upper part and hold it at an angle that suits
you best. In this situation it is desirable to have a single seat with all necessary accessories to your
right if you draw whit right hand or your left if you draw with your left hand.
Or, if you have one nearby, use support surface for drawing. When you feel uncomfortable, get up,
stretch and make the time to look at object which you draw from all sides in order to notice any
irregularities, if any (and almost always there are).
And finally, once again, at the risk of sounding like your mother - keep proper body position while
drawing!
Make sure you have good light while drawing. If you draw whit your right hand, then it is best to let
some light coming from your upper-left, and if you draw your left hand then it is best to have the light
source coming from above right.

Simple drawing techniques

Using basic geometric shapes

This technique of drawing is definitely the fastest and easiest way for drawing and sketching using
basic, simple geometric shapes you can draw literally anything you want with ease and enjoyment.
Objects that you see around you - the house, animal, person, boat, mountain, tree and so on can be
easily drawn using one or a combination of all five basic shapes. All you need is a square, circle,
triangle, rectangle and oval (ellipse) - just like the ones shown below.

These enable you to "frame" each individual form or any part of a complex shape, and the beauty of
the art of drawing is that you yourself are choosing a geometric form or forms that you use.
Let's say, that I saw lamp as a combination of trapeze (trapeze is just a combination of a rectangle and
two triangles), a small rectangle vertically set, a circle and a triangle for the part that represents the
switch.
You can see this same lamp as a combination of some other shape, for example rectangular
lampshade, on the basis of square, rectangle as a switch ... whatever.
It's just what works with you, that's what's important.

To rehearse this technique of drawing on your paper for practicing and sketching draw quickly and
easily several times these geometric shapes.
Do not waste too much time on how accurate are these forms because they are nothing but simple
guidelines. Draw each of these geometric shapes in different sizes and proportions and focus on it to
draw them quickly and easily.
By "easy" I think of a very light pressure with your pencil on a paper drawing because after fulfilling
their tasks these lines need to be deleted.
How to use this technique of drawing when drawing complex objects and forms?
Dissolve them in a few basic shapes.
The sparrow for example can be "decomposed" in a few circles, triangles and ovals. I did not try too

hard and I'm sure you will, to find shapes that are most suitable for your vision of the sparrow.

That's the point - freedom of choice, which is what, makes it to be one of the funniest drawing
techniques.
It gives the freedom to look at things your way, and that can make drawing even greater pleasure.
The real value of this technique of drawing, drawing using geometric shapes, is that relatively quickly
and easily you gain accuracy of the total proportion of all elements in a drawing.
Frame the basic elements of what you draw in geometric shapes and at the same moment you will
notice - if you guessed the size of these elements and objects as a whole or not.
If you are not satisfied, all you have to do is to adjust the shape or size of a given geometric shape.
In combination with these methods to draw easy you will have the right technique for drawing that
will never let you down and will make you draw whit ease.
Enjoy!

Proportion
The exact ratio
In drawing the word proportion means you get on paper right aspect ratio of the object that you draw.
Aspect ratio of an object, regardless of whether it is a house, a character or the human body, wood
etc., is the size of one object compared to other elements around or on same object.
The easiest way to explain that is in ratio of length and width and height of simple flat objects whit
straight edges.
On this picture below is the house with imaginary dimensions in meters.

The ratio of these (hypothetical) dimensions is 12: 7: 5 meters. To draw a true look of the house, you
have to notice that the aspect ratio of the house that you draw will not look like the house in the
picture.
Or, if your drawing width is approximately 24cm, then to draw an accurate portrayal of the house, the
other two dimensions should be 14cm and 10cm (bottom-right) because it is the ratio of numbers as
are the numbers of the original, that is, 12: 7: 5 = 24: 14: 10th
But drawing of proportion applies not only to the length, but it is also the ratio of the size of the
surface area compared to another area (for example, left cheek and right cheek), the size of one
element compared to the other (the window in relation to the front door) the amount of empty space
between two or more elements and even the value of the light from one surface over another (as one
area brighter or darker in comparison to the second surface) etc. etc...
Plus, it is far from the logic the idea that you can measure in meters every object you want to draw.
That's what you can do with simple forms, such as a house from the photo, but it is impossible to
measure the mountain, river or bird.
That is why artists invented a whole arsenal of techniques for measurement in order to get as
accurately as possible the true proportions to the paper.
Typically you do not even think about the proportion until something is outside their normal
dimensions. Let's say if I drew a roof two-times smaller or bigger then all will comment as it is
unsymmetrical in relation to the original house.
In the end, I want to add that the proportion has a direct connection with aesthetics but that's another
topic, and all you need to know about this subject is how to measure and how to transfer these
measures to the paper.
To what extent will you observe the correct aspect ratio, depends on whether you're doing a sketch
or drawing. For drawing the ratio should be accurate, while the sketch does not require such
accuracy.
From the object that will be drawn also depends on how accurate dimensions should be. For
instance, if you draw a tree you can afford to miss correct aspect ratio but you cannot do that if you
draw a figure of the specific person.

Easy drawing method

These methods for easy drawing appeared soon after I started to learn how to draw. They appeared
as a solution to a problem I had at the beginning. The problem I faced was lines.
Hundreds of lines to be drawn in exactly the right length, with exactly defined angle and curvature in
relation to all other lines.
I would often, after I'd drawn, think to myself-chaos! My lines are a mess.
One eye is too high, the mouth does not look like anything, chin line is too high, the hairline does not
follow the shape of the character, and shoulder line ... chaos!
One day, after many attempts, I thought my lines are in chaos! That gave birth to one thought, namely
an idea on how to overcome the chaotic situation in my life that I have read in some book.
I put this idea into function-and BINGO!
It worked. For me it worked. I modified a little this method so it can be applied on drawing.
The method is in fact a series of actions that need to be done to get you started, to continue and
successfully complete your drawing, and this series is as follows:
1. Determine the limits of the frame, and specify the boundaries of what you want to draw, because
even if you want, you cannot put all of the sudden what you see on a piece of paper. It is necessary to
have your own visor - that is scheduler for frame limits and you must know how it is used;

2. Draw a border on your piece of paper. As you define the boundaries of what you want to put on
paper, you should also determine the extent to which you will draw on your paper.
Will this limit have rectangular, circular or oval shape, square or perhaps an irregular shape, that
depends only on you and your desires.
The point is to have a visible boundary that will be an indicator of how far should you "spread" with
your drawing.

3. Determine a line and label it as a star line. Select one line, or better yet a small geometrical shape
and place it within the limits that you have drawn on your paper at approximately the same place
where it is located within the boundaries of the frame.

4. After that initial object draw all the other lines in relation whit it. Continue in relation to that, the
starting line or shape, draw other lines and shapes on the relationship of length, angle, curvature and
so on.

As you practice this way of drawing, over time, it will become routine and you will be less
dependent on tools for help, and your drawings will be all the more faithful to the original, fuller of
details and more beautiful.

How to Draw a Portrait

My first serious project in drawing was just a portrait. It was some guy from the front page of a book,
and I remember that I drew for days and days taking care of each line and at the same time trying to
minimize using the eraser.
Drawing has turned out so well that I gave it as a present, and I am at the same time received a gift in
the form of affirmation that "I have talent" and that I can draw.
Although many think that the drawing of people is harder than, say, drawing landscapes, it is not
really so.
In drawing the main problem is viewing. There are no "easy" or "difficult" subjects and objects to
draw; it all goes down to knowing basic elements, their proportions and coordination of your eyes
with your hand holding the pen.
Once you learn all the elements of the structure and start paying attention to their proportions you will
realize that portraits are not as difficult as you might think.

Are heads same?

Although the head and face of adults can be in many different shapes and sizes, one and the same
basic rules of proportion can be applied to almost everyone.
My advice to you is that when you learn to draw people and faces do not be too worrying about
whether it will look like 100% to the original, and whether it will be liked by others. Instead,
concentrate on the object and see it with the eyes of the artist.
I still if I am not sufficiently focused or if I draw "faster than I look," miss resemblance of the object
but I do not excite.

When it comes to the portrait, according to the head position in relation to the point of view there are
three different positions:
En face - front view. This is the position where a character who is drawn, looking from the front
straight in the eye. This is the position that we encounter very often in everyday life because the
people with whom we talk, usually looking straight into the eyes, heads on TV screens looking
straight into our eyes ... this you can use to observe the characteristics and proportions of the faces of
the people.
If your measure and transferring measure represents a problem, try using alternative method to set the
correct pattern proportions of the head, and then draw on that pattern, all the characteristics of a
person you can see.
Profile - a view from the side. When the head is in relation to our point of view, turned by 90 so
that we can see only one half of the face, this position is called a profile. When carefully looked at the
profile of the human head, you will see that in this position the elements like face, eyes, nose, mouth
and ear barely occupy about 15 percent of the entire surface of the head when viewed from this angle.
When you study the proportions of the head viewed in profile, try to use these methods to create a
plan for drawing characters in the profile. When you create the exact pattern and place all the
elements of the face where they belong, then it will be very easy to draw all the characteristics of a
character that you want draw.
Semi profile - the term used for all positions of the head between the frontal and the left and right
profile. Very often you will encounter at the term three-quarter portrait, and that includes, as its name
itself and indicates the position when the head is exactly in the middle between the position of full
face and profile.
In this position, things look a little bit more complicated; however, if you master vertical lines and
horizontal proportions of the head, the merger of simple geometric shapes can create a pretty accurate
scheme that will be the basis for further work.

Parts of the face

Although parts of the face and head usually enter the same proportional scheme and look quite the
same for everybody, they vary from person to person by tiny details.
You will have great benefit if you know the basic parameters and characteristics of individual body
parts.
To draw the eye - First contact with other people we make whit our eyes. They tell us a lot about
the person we're looking at and that's why it is the first on this list.
To draw a nose - Although seemingly simple object drawing, nose can give us a lot of trouble, and
even to experienced artists.
How to draw ear - an easy trick on how to make an accurate sketch of this, at first glance, an
unusual part of the face.
To draw a mouth - a few guidelines on how to sketch and shade the lips.

Eyes
When you draw the eyes, it would be best to look at the wider region of the eye, including eyebrows
as a whole because they are just that-a whole and always start by first making a sketch of the eyes and
eyebrows.
1. Make whit 2B pencil sketch and drew the contours of the eyes and eyebrows. In this section, I
marked the contours of the pupil, the dark surface of the iris around the pupil and reflections over the
pupil, in the corner of the eye and on the edge of the lower eyelid.

2. I put the first layer of graphite over the entire surface, spreading the graphite powder whit swabs
(cotton pad to remove make-up) to get a basic tone.
Graphite powder can make whit knife from Graphite heart of 2B pencil or softer pencil on a piece of
paper and then pick it whit swabs and apply on paper. Of course, you can select another way of
shading.

3. Whit gooey eraser you can clean graffiti from all surfaces where there are reflections. It's the
reflection in the eye over the pupil, on the edge of the lower eyelid, in the corner of the eye and so on.
Be careful and try to spot where everything has a glare.

4. Now whit 2B pencil shade the pupil first, then the darker parts such as the edges of the upper
eyelid, upper edge at the corner of the eye and the shadow of the iris, which is formed of the upper
eyelid.

5. Draw whit HB pencil radiating lines on the iris extending from the pupil to the edge of the iris. If
you look better, you will see that these lines, due to the nature of the eye, are looking slightly curved
and that way you draw them. Do not exaggerate with the density of these lines; you'll make the
necessary corrections later. Finally whit 2B pencil form darker shadows on the surface of the iris in
the area around the pupil.

6. Then create whit an HB pencil the dark ring on the outer edge of the iris. It is best to do it whit a
short, compact lines pulling a pen from the edge toward the center, then carefully draw a circle of iris
itself whit a solid line.
When done, use mushy rubber to pick up excess graphite from the whites where they are light, leaving
the parts that are under shadow.

7. Now comes the shading. Take HB pencil and shade the light radiating movements on the dark area
in the middle of the iris and around the pupil. Whit the same pen proceed in a circular motion to apply
a shadow to darker areas you see, such are parts of the upper and lower eyelid, the corner of the eye
and so on.
Then, carefully look at both edges of the lid in order to inflict real tone, because when you start to
draw the lashes will no longer be there to correct, not smudged. Be careful and make any necessary
corrections in this section.

8. When you are completely satisfied that you set all the shadows and reflections, then it is time to
draw the lashes. Since thicker and darker for lashes I used 2B pencil. Eyelashes are drawn using
short, curved lines following the direction of their growth.
Place the pen at the place where the root is and in fast motion drag the pencil in the direction of
growth at the same time loosening the pressure. You get a thicker line at the bottom and thinner at the
top as well as real hair.

9. Use the same technique but whit an HB pencil and draw the lower lashes.
10. For eyebrows use the 2B pencil and the same technique as for the eyelashes, draw eyebrows.
Follow the growth direction.
11. At the end draw a couple of spots that are visible on the skin under the eyes and small details such
as youth, the scars, if any.

The drawing is done. Look again and if you need to repair minor imperfections, but know that at this
stage you can ruin more than to repair.

How to Draw Nose

1. Draw whit a 2H pencil contours of the broader region of the nose. Do not forget that regardless of
whether you are drawing or painting, the first and most important thing is to correctly transfer the
outline of objects on your paper.
Of course, the best solution would be to draw a freehand contour. You only need to exercise
regularly, and in the meantime, while not perfect, you can use one of the methods for transmitting, that
is copying.

2. Create the map, marking on the nose areas that are darkest and brightest. Do it whit 2H pencil and
see that the lines are thinner.

3. How to get the first fundamental tone, shade evenly whit 2H pencil wider area where the nose is,
do not leave any gaps. Then whit a tissue do little compression, and spread graphite on the surface.
4. Since the part of the lines was lost after smearing graphite, I again drew the lines as they are
relevant for drawing to be realistic.

5. Whit HB pencil apply graphite in places where you marked the darker areas. And here, too goes
the rule if you are evenly and precisely applying graffiti then you will have fewer problems when
smudging.

6. The paper points streak graphite on the surface until you get the tones you want. In places where we
need to be darker tones simply reapply HB pencil graphite and smear again.

7. Now whit mushy rubber band, pull out all the reflections and brighter surface. Use paper sticks to
streak graphite and create the illusion of merging neighboring area to make it look realistic.

8. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until you are satisfied with the result. When you become satisfied, leave the
drawing for a minute then to go back and re-look at it from all sides. The same method, using sticks

and soggy rubber bands, correct any errors that you see.
To drawing as realistic as possible, add a few small details, if any, such as patches on the skin, hair,
wrinkles and so on. And you're done.

How to draw ear

1. Start by gently pressing 2H pencil to draw the outer contour of the ear. In other words, draw a
question mark complying with the dimensions and proportions of the ear, or make sure that the ear is
not too broad or too thin. Also pay attention to the angle of the ear, because the upper part of the ear,
seen in profile, generally slightly skewed towards the rear.
2. Draw then all those forms inside the ear. Pay attention where it begins and ends where is the "y"
shape, where are the curves, how thick it is, beware of the angle compared to the other parts and so
on.

It is important, in this section, to draw a clear sketch, because of this step onwards you begin shading,
and if you make a mistake, you will have to delete large sections or start all over again.
3. Once you become satisfied with the sketch, the next step is to make a map that means to highlight
the drawing where the darkest and lightest areas are. Do not overdo it with too many lines as at the
end of the whole network of lines can confuse you, but do not go too much to simplify the matter,
especially with full shadow.
4. Separate the light from dark areas. Without too much compression, fill whit 2B pencil all the
darkest areas that you marked. In this section, leave all half-dark surfaces as they are and concentrate
only on the darkest. When finishing all the darkest area and all the brightest, you will immediately
recognize which parts should be half-dark.
5. In this section, in order to inflict the basic tone, use 2H pencil to shade entire drawing. Thus, in
addition to get a good part of halftones, it is easier for me to pull out all the reflections and bright

surface.
6. Depending on what part I did, whit vinyl rubber band or mushy rubber band I pulled all bright
surfaces. Now do the half-dark surface. Whit HB pencils fill in all these areas without excessive
application of graphite.
It is better that the process of placing, spreading and erasing graffiti repeat several times as this
reduces the chance of ruining the drawing if you put too much graffiti in the wrong place.
7. Repeat the previous step, that is, put graphite, spread it mushy and corrected mistakes with the
eraser until you become satisfied with the result. And you're done.

How to draw a mouth

1. First I made a sketch of this part of the face with 2H pencil.
As the point where I will start I draw a line where mouth should be from that line I determined
jawline, line of the nose and corner lines of cheeks. I also marked by this line the thickness of the
upper and lower lips.
Then I determined the center of the lips.
According to the center of the lips I drew a recess in the form of letter "u" on the upper lip and
determined center of the chin and nose. When I determined all of these dimensions it was easy to
draw a sketch.
2. Then I made a map marking the outline areas that are darkest and brightest. Do it with 2H pencil
and see that the lines are thinner so as not to interfere with your work later.
In this part of your work will be of significant help your knowledge of the above-described principles
of light-dark. Using this principle is very easy I found and marked dark areas under the nose, upper
lip, lower lip and the lower part of the chin.
3. Next in order is shading. To divide the light from dark surfaces, I used 2B pencil; first fill all the
areas that are marked on the map as the darkest.
4. To get a basic tone of drawing and to facilitate yourself drawing of the brightest areas, with 2H
pencil I evenly over the entire surface, put a layer of graphite making sure not smear or completely
cover with graphite lines of so called map of shading.
5. Depending on the drawing I'm working on, vinyl rubber band or mushy rubber band I wiped graffiti
from the surfaces that have been labeled as the brightest.
From this moment onwards, using paper sticks I smeared graphite and I slowly merged sharp lines
between the areas with different tones.
When it was necessary, in order to get some of the mid-tones, I put with HB pencil graphite on those
spots so I again smeared with paper points.

6. By repeating this process of putting graffiti, smudging and correction with mushy rubber band, I
continued to draw the details of the mouth such as wrinkles on the lower lip, reflections, small folds
that start to occur on the edge between the lips and facial skin and etc.
The more detail you noticed and put into the drawing, it will look more realistic.
