How to draw Portrait in Photoshop (especially Great Hair tutorial)

Hi everyone, I want to ask for your advices & opinions concerning drawing basics.

 

I'm currently learning the basic (making circles & straight lines, simple geometric forms). The thing is, after some practice I can draw reasonably straight line (about A4 length) on the horizontal & diagonal but not on vertical, and reasonably good ellipses on the vertical but not on horizontal. Is it important to master on each direction or I can just flip the paper everytime?

 

Also, is it better to draw lines (& forms in general) on quick one move stroke or slowly?

 

Thanks in advance!

Ceru, you can turn the paper/canvas any way you like So, no, you don't have to master the horizontal (reading through this again, it sounds really bad, but you know what I mean). You will eventually, even if you will not specifically try for it. 

 

Keep your lines long and light. You don't have to speed through drawing them. You will become faster as your hand is trained.

 

Hope you are having fun! You have definitely improved visibly in a very short time, so keep at it

[Cerulione]

Thank you

 

Well, the whole point of drawing & art is having fun right...? At least that's for me.

 

Talking about drawing & having fun, I tried to draw several of my Ikea chairs and went to Ikea shop last week end, showing them that "I want this chair I can't remember the name", they don't recognize it. The goal is now to draw the coffee table or the bed until someone can recognize it directly

 

And drawing beds are good exercise for *ahem* Cullen fanart

This is very very obvious and may sound stupid, but I just learn a very valuable lesson this morning: Coffee and drawings are not best friends. Seriously, it's not the best idea to put a coffee mug on the table you do your work & drawings... Accident happens...

This is not a tutorial but more an interesting video about different approaches. Four Disney Background Artists paint a tree in their own iconic styles. Each of them has a his own interpretation of the tree and four very different sketches emerge from this.

This needs to be recorded!

 

 

You're too kind And you are absolutely right - we can never be satisfied with our work. I finished Cullen's portrait for the 5k celebration yesterday, and am still struggling against the desire to make more adjustments

 

As for shadows, there are some general rules I follow: if the light source is warm, shadows will be cold, and vice-versa. Saturated colours will produce a more dramatic effect when used in shadows. And for my personal shortcoming: it probably needs to be even darker I have a hard time reaching the darker tones. Thank heavens for John Knoll thinking of including Multiply as a layer effect in PS

Ceru, you are too nice

[Cerulione]

I'm learning

 

Thumb rule: if I don't know about the existence of this subject then any tips on it worth recording. Everyone please do the same

Since you can find great tutorials, may I ask you if you have a good one on the side?

I already have some for eyes, others for noses, but mouth ... agrh .. I can't see how to draw a mouth that doesn't look too ... childish.

I tried to googled(?) mouth tutorials, but found nothing :/

[Cerulione]

Maybe try this one & simplify if needed?

Oooo just got this book on amazon guys! I needed something paper in front of me because I'm sketching off of images on my tablet and can't youtube lessons at the same time it got rave reviews so I'll keep you guys posted on if it's good. It's old but supposedly timeless

[Cerulione]

Oooh that's interesting! I got Loomis' Drawing Head & Hand in paper finally to get it in paper version & it's good.

 

Tesh got us the PDF a while back.

This is an "Imagine FX" video. Teshayel had mentioned them earlier, so I wasn't sure if I should link it because the link to their youtube channel is already on page one of this thread. But this video is about drawing faces without references and since so many of you are drawing faces, I thought it might be interesting.

Hey guys, here's something for drawing hands and heads, it's kinda long but I thought it could be useful (actually it is quite useful so do check it out, it has pictures which is nice), one of my schoolmates suggested I check it out so I thought I should share it with you all.

Quite detailed^

even has tips on baby/child/teenager heads/hands 

(it's basically a book in pdf form)

 

 

Enjoy!

Hi y'all! Today I've been perusing a book I bought some time ago (that was me, buying drawing resources and not using them... but not anymore!) It's a book on fashion illustration, but it's really useful because it teaches lots of drawing essentials in a very visual way and is a great source for drawing clothes. It's a Spanish book but I found there's an English edition (Amazon link)

 

I can't scan it due to copyright, but I will share two tips I found really useful:

 

- To get your proportions right when drawing a full body, divide it into eight parts taking the head as measure (that is, the full body is eight times the head)

- When drawing patterns on clothing: pattern on the darker area is more defined, while pattern on the lighter area is less defined; it's not necessary to draw the full pattern.

 

Hope those are useful!
