In this tutorial I’ll show you how to sketch smiling faces focusing on larger portraits with more detailed teeth. This was a fun challenge for me as I don't usually sketch such large portraits showing their teeth! 😁

Excellent tutorial. Thanks to your detailed explanation, I got a reasonable likeness; even the teeth came out passably well. A suggestion for future tutorials: consider showing a few passes of a hair dryer (either in real time or an animation) over your painting to indicate the subsequent layer should be dry. When I was a beginner (I’m faux intermediate now), I frequently went wet on wet, not realizing I should have gone wet on dry.

I used a lot of posca in this but it didn’t cover the black of my uni pin fine line. Is there magic you use? 😀

The teeth really make this portrait. Thanks for attempting them for us to learn from. Delicate work!
