How to draw a portrait of a girl with freckles

Drawing lesson, how to draw a portrait of a girl with freckles in stages with a pencil.

1. The first thing we do when drawing a portrait is to outline the proportions of the face and the contour itself. It is not necessary to do this carefully, everything will be fixed in the future. We plan where the eyes, nose, lips will be located. As soon as we have drawn, we check with nature. If everything is as we need, we continue.

2. We start drawing from the eyes. if you get eyes, everything else will work. From the eyes we go to the lips, we also draw them. Highlights can be left as white as highlights. In the future, you can make them darker.

3. The fun begins) We start working on the skin of our cute model. Try not to darken, you can always make it darker! Take a not very soft pencil. Let's say B or 2B and create!

4. Our skin painting process continues. We move from the cheek to the forehead and do chiaroscuro in the same way. In those places where the strand will hang down in the future, we make a shadow.

5. We finish working on the face, drawing the cheekbones, ear and chin. If during the process it seems to you that some places are too light, darken them. If, on the contrary, they are dark, take a nag, this is the best assistant in highlighting areas (sold in any art store).

6. And here, the fun begins! Hair. Take the pencil a little softer so as not to push through the paper too much. You can take 2V or 3V. Carefully draw the strands that fell on the face. This is the most difficult, otherwise we will spoil everything. We do this work with neat strokes) Let's move on to our hair on the head. And we draw the same strokes on the strands.

7. We finish drawing the hair, focusing on the light areas. Make smooth strokes and don't be afraid! Let's move on to clothes. It is the darkest one with us, so do not be afraid to take a softer pencil. In this case, 2V was used, but I suffered with it) take 3V or 4V, it will be easier. We make strokes neatly in the direction of the main lines (in this case, this is the line of the shoulders and neck).
