PORTRAIT RULES FOR BEGINNERS:

PORTRAIT RULES FOR BEGINNERS Start with Full Face (Frontal) View. It is the easiest type of portrait to do. Do not attempt a ¾ Face View or any View that shows head tilted or in an odd position. These types of portraits are difficult. Heads are Tilted Head is turned. Only ¾ of Face is Shown

Drawing Vincent:

Drawing Vincent Start with the Vincent Face Template Place tracing paper over this template. Trace it with a graphite pencil. Turn the tracing paper over so you see the back and rub graphite pencil over the lines. Only put graphite pencil on the lines--not on the entire thing. Take your tracing paper with the traced graphite pencil image and place it on a clean sheet of paper. Trace over the image with a pen or pencil. The graphite on the back of the tracing paper will transfer image onto new sheet of paper. Make sure horizontal lines and vertical lines are straight, not wavy or crooked. Go over them with a ruler to make sure .

Drawing Vincent - Hair:

Drawing Vincent - Hair Add Vincent’s hair. Draw in the outline of the hair like this, so you know what the basic shape is going to be.

Drawing Vincent - Eyes:

Drawing Vincent - Eyes Using the template, draw an arched line at the point near where the horizontal and vertical line intersect as shown below Draw another arched line over that one to form an almond shape. Then draw the circle for the eye in the middle. Each eye should be a mirror image of the other one. If they are not, it won’t look right. Make sure you have an almond shape with points at each end as shown below You do NOT want these shapes below
