A few days ago I was hanging out with a mixed bag of
artists. And by mixed bag I mean that there were portrait-drawing artists who
can sketch a person's likeness in five minutes, tattoo artists specializing in
drawing portraits on skin (yow!), and practitioners who keep to a more
traditional studio practice.
But what all of these talented individuals had in common was
that the bulk of their work revolved around one skill: how to draw a face. It
impressed on me the importance of dedicating myself to sketching faces more and
more, no matter how intimidating it can be. Because over time, this is the
skill that will allow any artist to learn how to draw portraits--and that is practically the artistic Promised Land to me.
To that end, we have created our free eBook, Drawing Faces: Learn How to Draw a Face with
