Yesterday i was asked couple of times here how to make a portrait so i am sharing few pictures of portrait making process step by step for any of you interesting in art or wanting to start your own works maybe to get some tips out of it.
This technique is combo pencil drawing and oil painting on canvas, so because of the pre drawing part i did not do any preparation of canvas.
Step 1
The most important step in drawing all anatomy, human or other is first to take good measures of the object you are drawing, both to match the paper and to match to the real live size measures of the object. We do not want an ear next to the object's nose. :)
Nothing will work in further process if you make too many mistakes here!
Measure, measure, measure! This will be the basis to your work. When ready take measures to paper/canvas. This may look a rough drawing, but it is a precise one. Yet you are just starting.
