    Step 1: Choose An Appropriate Reference Picture

             In the first step, you will learn on how to choose a reference picture that’s right for you to draw. Some pictures are harder to draw than others, and many beginners jump into the wrong picture, only to give up and never try again.

    In this step, you will learn how to select a fitting reference picture. The best part is, you will draw more quickly and with less frustration once you know what type of pictures to draw. I will also provide you a reference picture of Halle Berry so that you can just print it out immediately.

    Step 2: Organize The Position, Outline And Proportions Of The Features

     The position of the features is the most basic element of a good drawing and should be done correctly. Imagine your frustration when, halfway through the shading, you realize that the position of the features was wrong.

    • Tips for correctly positioning the features
    • 8 illustrations showing the organization of the features
    • Tips on shading (cross hatching)which you will use in every realistic pencilportrait that you draw

    Step 3: Eye Drawing – Shading and Shadows

    The eye is the most expressive feature of the face and is key to capturing the likeness of your drawing. Many people start looking your drawing from the eyes then only to other parts.

    Indeed, the eyes are often the first part of a portrait that people notice. For this reason, most of the artists pay special emphasis to eyes.

    • Instructions on how to draw the details of the eyes and eyebrows
    • 34 step-by-step illustrations demonstrating shading of the eyes
    • Tips on drawing the eyelids, iris, pupils, eyelashes, and the surrounding shadows
    • Ways to deal with the tiny details of light and shading in the eyes

    Step 4: Nose Drawing – Shading and Shadows 

    The nose is one of the EASIEST features to draw because it doesn’t do much in terms of  giving emotional response for your drawing. Finding noses hard to draw? That’s often because people only focus on drawing the other facial features.

    • Learn the important aspects of drawing the nose
    • 9 step-by-step illustrations for shading the nose
    • Drawing the nose bridge and nostrils

        

    Step 5: Mouth drawing – Shading and Shadows

    The mouth is the second most expressive feature of the face. In some cases it communicates emotion more strongly than do the eyes. 

    Drawing the mouth correctly often makes or breaks a portrait, the portrait comes alive with a well-drawn and well-shaded mouth. When you draw and shade on the mouth correctly, it suddenly has an energy all its own.

    •  Learn how to draw the details of the mouth
    •  Tips for perfectly formed lips
    • 20 step-by-step illustrations for shading the mouth
    • Learn to draw the lip line
    • Learn to draw glossy lips

    Step 6: Ear Drawing – Shading and Shadows

    What I found when I read art books is that most of them skip the part on teaching ears drawing by covering the ears with long hair. And even if they did mention the ears, it’s very quick and doesn’t go into details.

    Ears come in many shapes and sizes and are unique to each individual. For drawing ears, you will need to get the spacing between the parts right.

    •  Learn how to draw the details of the ear
    • 14 step-by-step illustrations for shading the ear
    • Getting the correct shading tone

    Step 7: Hair Drawing – Shading and Shadows

    Drawing hair is important. Everything else might be perfect but if the hair looks like a bird’s...
