Portrait/heads The most important part of a drawing is the start, not the finish. This tutorial will focus on how to start a portrait drawing, using basic blocking-in techniques. When drawing a portrait from life, you don’t want to just jump-in and draw. I always walk around the model to get a better understanding of the model and plan out my composition. In addition, whenever I do a head study, or a portrait, I don’t start out by trying to capture a “likeness.” Here is my process for drawing portraits: 1. Mark the top of skull, not the hair, then locate the line of the chin, mark the back of the skull and two lines for the angles of the front of the skull. Look for the bone structure of the skull not the features of the face—that will come later. 2. Divide the head into thirds: one third is from the top of the head to the top of the eye socket; the second is from the top of the eye socket to the base of the nose; and the third is from the base of the nose to the bottom of the chin. 3. 4. 5.
The real life models for Classic Pin-Up paintings A series of comparisons between the classic pinup girls and photos that have served as models for achieving them;) via Heads (angles) The Basic Forms To draw the head from any angle you must first understand its basic structure. Look past all the distracting details and visualize the underlying forms. This ability to simplify can be applied to the features of the face, but when starting the drawing you could look even further. The head deconstructed into its basic forms, is a sphere as the cranium and a block as the jaw and cheek bones. A Sphere as the Cranium The sides of the head are flat, so we can slice off a piece from both sides of the ball. A Block as the Jaw and Cheek Bones Attach the shape of the jaw. Constructing From Any Angle Step 1 – Determine the angle of the ball The angle of the head is established at the very beginning of the drawing with the ball. X Axis - The up and down tilt is established by the angles of the horizontal and vertical lines in the oval. Y Axis - The direction the head is turning (left or right) is established by the width of the oval. Step 2 – Find the thirds Step 3 – Add the jaw
Miniature Art on the Tip of Pencil by Dalton Ghetti Many artists have used pencils to create works of art – but Dalton Ghetti creates miniature masterpieces on the tips of pencils. Dalton, who works as a carpenter, has been making his tiny graphite works for about 25 years. A sculpture of Elvis Presley wearing shades, carved from a single pencil. The 49-year-old said: “At school I would carve a friend’s name into the wood of a pencil and then give it to them as a present. Later, when I got into sculpture, I would make these huge pieces from things like wood, but decided I wanted to challenge myself by trying to make things as small as possible. I experimented sculpting with different materials, such as chalk, but one day I had an eureka moment and decided to carve into the graphite of a pencil” A tiny saw, using both the wood and graphite of a single pencil Dalton uses three basic tools to make his incredible creations – a razor blade, sewing needle and sculpting knife. “I don’t make any money from it but that’s not what it’s about for me.
Heads It's important that you take the time to walk through and complete the Understanding 3D Form tutorial before you're ready to take this next step. Anyone who thinks they are beyond the basics presented there is kidding themselves, myself included. No matter how good you may be, if you don’t get the basics it will come back to bite you. Step 1. This is the biggy. The centerline of the face is derived from our cross section. With a minimal degree of shifting of one feature or another, all faces are fairly symmetrical. Once you know the tilt, have found the cross section, and laid in the centerline of the head, your next step is to shave to two side of our sphere on either side of the cross section. Step 2-Now that you have the cross section established, the next thing you will do is divide the head into thirds. The 2nd division establishes the location for the nose, ears, and eyes. The lower 3rd sets up where your mouth goes, and finishes the skull with locating the bottom of the chin.

Things to note, sketch on big paper (I used cheap Newsprint 11 x 17), keep loose and free (some people like to start with a ruler, but you have to work your way towards sketching freehand straight lines), and most importantly work on that mileage (practice, practice, practice). I am quickly going to go through this for your times sake (if you want more detailed notes on constructing a box I suggest a perspective drawing book). The book I used for reference is “Design Sketching” by Erik Olofsson and Klara Sjolen (this book is from Umea Institution of Design and is worth its weight in gold, filled with inspiration). 1) Always warm up with calisthenics I always try to warm up first before I sketch. 2) Two Point Perspective So here’s a basic construction of a box in two point perspective. 3) Three Point Perspective 4) Practice, practice, practice 5) Basic Lineweight 6) Choose your perspective Like this:
The Deadliest Art in the World Photograph by Luke Jerram Luke Jerram makes the deadliest art in the world. His subjects have caused pain and suffering for hundreds of millions of people throughout history. They are infectious, they are resilient, and they are everywhere. - Born in Stroud, England and now living in Bristol UK with his wife Shelina and two children Maya and Nico (Bellic?) E. SARS – Photograph by Luke Jerram - The question of pseudo-colouring in biomedicine and its use for science communicative purposes, is a vast and complex subject. - How many people believe viruses are brightly coloured? - Our belief about what viruses and bacteria look like have undoubtedly been born out of media depictions of them. images of viruses are originally taken in black and white on an electron microscope and then they are coloured artificially - Jerram is exploring the tension between the artworks’ beauty and what they represent, their impact on humanity HIV – Photograph by Luke Jerram Small Pox – Photograph by Luke Jerram
Realistic Eyes Have trouble drawing eyes? Well, you’re probably not alone. Eyes are the first thing that the viewer is drawn to in a portrait. To make sure you create a lasting impression, you need a few techniques to create a sense of realism. A quick rundown on the basics of drawing realistic eyes after the jump! What you’ll need:HB (#2) Pencil, 4B pencilEraserDrawing paperDrawing surface The first step in drawing eyes is to draw the full eyeball itself. After you have your “not-a-perfect-circle” eyeball drawn, draw an oval shape horizontally across the eyeball in the shape of an eyelid opening. Once you have the opening for the eye nailed down, you can erase the lines outside. Now we’re ready for highlights! Almost done now! We’re entering the home stretch!
Terry Border Makes Everyday Objects Come Alive (18 pics) Mail-Order Bride Artist Terry Border is one of those people who has a secret gift. He can take boring, everyday objects and make them come alive! In fact, his art can be appreciated for the clever thought behind it.
