People & Portraits Week
Hello everyone and welcome to my entry for People & Portraits week here at projecteducate. I was tempted to include a watercolor tutorial (my usual stuff), but instead I opted for something more challenging, hoping this might be helpful to starting artists in particular
This article will be about the best portrait sketching practices for a starting artist. As a painter, I fell into a trap of spending twenty hours of painting to one hour of drawing and this cost me a lot. Painting is fun for me, moving water across the paper, playing with pigments, detailing with tiny brushes for ages is a great way to relieve stress. Drawing, on the other hand, demands more focus, thinking and planning, there is a great deal of technicalities that often makes me want to put it off to a time when I have full energy available.
However, the importance of being a skilled drawer is undeniable, even when your main focus is painting.
