TUTORIAL FOR THIS WEEK:  Portraits - Side Profiles

Hi all, I’m back from a break with family and ready for the new year! 🤩 I hope you are all well and had a great Christmas and New Years. This week we are going to start with a side profile of the face. I’ve chosen these two men as I liked their hats and strong features. Please let me know which one you’d prefer to sketch in the poll below and anything you’d like me to focus on in the tutorial in the comments.

WHAT'S COMING UP:

I chose 1-Stuart, because I feel I can hide mistakes behind facial hair- I named 2-Zebulon

Betty mounce

doesn't matter. I would like to do both.

Roz

#2 seems more complex, more of a challenge although i would enjoy #1 for other readons!😉

Karen King

That flat type of hat on #1 seems more challenging than the floppy one. Wouldn't it be a good idea for me to lightly draw the head first, then draw the hat over it rather than just draw the hat hoping to get it right?

Joni K

#2. I haven’t drawn facial hair before.

Susan

#2 for me Scottie .. although it’s hard to choose really, both are great !

Jo

Number 2 looks interesting

Mary L Doty

I like number #2 because of the glasses and also the addition of the beard.

Tanya Nelson

Hi Scottie! #2 (aka Zebulon) seems more challenging… I have a hard time portraying older people (they just always seem to end up looking like they have dirty faces). So I choose Zeb. Best to you! ☺️ 🥂

Lorna Graham

# 2 Scottie, love the hat and the character of the man ☺️

Joel Smith

#2 the auto poll dud not work for me thus time.
