In this sketching tutorial I’ll show you how to draw a face in a quick and loose way.

I've tried a slightly new method with 4 dots for the main shape of the head. Let me know if you like this method or if you prefer simply outlining shapes from observation, such as the hat and face, without dots and then only using dots for the facial features🙏🏼.

I like seeing how little line work you used to capture his age. The detail about his glasses to capture the right perspectives really helped. Thank so much!

Learnt a lot, even that purple might look not too bad in a sketch😉. Thank you for this great tutorial.
