Below are student examples of portraits. The detail in these drawings is extraordinary. The focus in Drawing I was shading using graphite, while Drawing II was focusing on color and skin tone using color pencil or pastel.

Hi Val...

Here are some of the more finished student work. These were done in roughly 3 hours. The proportions are pretty accurate, and the shading is coming along nicely in these examples.

Hear is a simple circle shape head with dimensions to consider when drawing a portrait. It is important to know the proportions of the head so you can understand how to measure the body when working with the figure.
