Yes, I think so too, great advice too bad the user no longer active.

Guys, any tips for drawing realistic faces?

I can draw anime style faces, but I failed miserably at realistic faces. I been trying to draw my friend for ages, but I just can't seem make it resemble the person or realistic enough. Facing troubles especially at the eye and mouth and the overall shading I should use.

I need to reach a level where other people can see the picture and recognize the person I am drawing.

My skill levels is lower than the quoted Adamiquesce picture above.

I look at some tutorials, but none seem to help me at drawing better.

More info - I draw with purely pencil and paper, I don't use photoshop or anything to touch up.

practice and more practice
various pencil thickness; B, 2B, HB, H, etc...

I also want to get some opinion.
Master seba, please do help.

These videos are useful to show how to draw the basic structure of the head:







They're actually simplified instructions from this book: https://archive.org/details/andrew-loomis-d...-the-head-hands.

Learn to draw a basic, generic face first using realistic construction methods, then in order capture your friend's likeness, you just need to adjust the placement of the construction lines used to create a realistic head, so that they match the proportions of your friend's face.

Working on two different things:

The best tips I can give u is, just draw what u see.

One of the crucial basic in realistic painting for me is the tones, u get that right, u can make your drawing looks believable. Then comes the detailing, detailing is fun, thats when your drawing comes alive. Of course, everything fails if u dont get the primary sketch right, I mean the shapes.

I know this doesnt help much, and I dont know your exact problem, but if u got any question just ask.

Oh stop it you.

I think I am still getting the primary sketch wrong. And my tones is still very bad.

Do you mind if I PM you my sketch and the photo I am trying to sketch?

I think it would be alot better if u post it here in the thread just to get it going. Plus the discussion would probably help others in the future. U dont necessarily need to post your sketch and your reference photo, u can also explain to me which part u are having problem.

Just browsing through fb when this popped up. Anyone joining?

Interesting... Will give it a shot, although I'm an illustrator, not a fine artist XD

Looking at the "BEST OF DIGITAL ART", I have already thought this is not my game, honestly I'm hardly impressed by fine arts, maybe it is not technically superior to illustration type of arts or concept arts, no real skills involved.



I mean look at that, just give people the impression that you intended something deep (although you just flying about your brush thoughtless) and you are good to go!

yeahhhhh that's the thing about fine arts sometimes, needs to be "deep" and "meaningful".

I, on the other hand, just say "f--k it" and draw porn. So eh.
