TAILIEUCHUNG - Tips and techniques guide

These are simply things I have learned, and what I personally do for each of my drawings. There are many ways to draw, such as line drawings, cross-hatching, non-blending, etc, but my chosen area is one that strives for Realism. I am 100% self-taught, meaning that I never went to Art school. I drew for maybe a total of maybe 5 hours since I was a teenager. Then in October of 2008, I decided I needed a hobby. | Tips and techniques guide These are simply things I have learned and what I personally do for each of my drawings. There are many ways to draw such as line drawings cross-hatching non-blending etc but my chosen area is one that strives for Realism. I am 100 self-taught meaning that I never went to Art school. I drew for maybe a total of maybe 5 hours since I was a teenager. Then in October of 2008 I decided I needed a hobby. I m just as surprised as others at the results I also wonder why I just NOW discovered I that can draw Now almost 1 year later I have completed over 91 portraits which is a total of between 400 and 600 hours of practice Later someone suggested I call a local college and offer to teach a course on portrait drawing. They actually created a course for me which I get to design the class 100 start to finish. As PART of that class I am making this TIP GUIDE to give the students. So far there are 8 people who signed up. I m excited to see if teaching artists get better is my calling or if I will even enjoy it We shall see In the 10 hours together I am going to take them start to finish through the same celebrity portrait using the steps outlined below. 1 CLEAN HANDS I always start by washing my hands of any oil or dirt that would damage the drawing surface area. NEVER touch the area you are drawing on and NEVER use your finger to blend. That s what I ve read AND experienced. I also use copy paper to lay over parts of a drawing I don t want to lay my hand across. Some say to work from upper left to downward right if you are right handed but I don t always WANT to work that way. 2 PHOTOS I have gotten really good at finding good photos on the web There are lots of sites but I find plenty at Google by using images of in the search box. There is SO much I could type about photos but the main things I do BECAUSE I crop the photo to use only the head is to only use a photo that has a file size large enough not to become blurry and pixilated after I print it
