Before you paint a portrait, you must know something about the head structure.

1。 Think about the size of the painting before drawing, and mark the outline of the highest point, lowest point and left and right width with big lines.

Pay attention to leave space at the top and space at the bottom.

2。 Then gently tick out three courts and five eyes: "three courts" means that from top to bottom, the eyebrow arch is one court, the eyebrow arch is one court, and the nose wing is one court; "Five eyes" means that the distance from the left face side to the right face side is the length of five eyes.

3。 To refine the five senses, we must grasp the muscle structure and the whole. (The whole is sketched in general, not grasping the parts. For example, when drawing eyes, we should not only grasp the eye piece, but also draw the nose and cheekbone muscles together. When modeling, you can't draw the local lines too rigidly, which will appear to be divorced from the whole.

4。 Draw a rough light and shade, and adjust the shape as you draw.

5。 When painting light and shadow, you can't distinguish between light and shade in general. Each stroke should be consistent with the structure, and pay attention to the treatment of the turning point on the structural bone point (this will be unclear for a while, so you should experience it slowly when painting).

6。 After painting, we should readjust the big relationship of the picture, weaken the place that destroys the big relationship, and whether the boundary between light and shade is clear. About the unity of light and shade and the texture of hairstyle, eyebrows and beard.

7。 Draw more pictures, check with the teacher, pay attention to the changes made by the teacher, and read more books that sketch characters. It's best to consult a teacher and buy it (because there are many bad books). It is better to buy everyone's paintings and calligraphy, which will help to increase experience and help to type.

Shun: Artists often make such short surprises when painting. Don't be discouraged and impatient when you see the progress of others. Calm down and draw.

It is better to draw more pictures than to keep them, because you often can't see what is good and what is bad just after painting; So if it is maintained for a long time, we can see that the shortage is also an improvement.

Painting is difficult and bitter. With a heart, persistence is very important.

Drawing a real person in 8 days is a good result, but don't forget to draw a sketch while drawing a real person, which will help you grasp the correct type when drawing characters.

Painting doesn't have to be like a real person, but understanding.
