MALE FACES

MALE FACES A photo of a well-known artist served as the model for this sketch. In steps A and B, place the facial features according to the proportions. Develop some of the details in step C; then add some outlines for the hair.



As you can see, the final drawing is fairly simple, yet it preserves the likeness of the person. More detail easily could be added, but you might lose the pleasing artistic quality the drawing has at this stage. 

Use a dry brush and a Lille ink to create "shading" lines Joe the Jinan. 


Although this face appears to be a difficult drawing subject, if you follow the step-by-step illustrations, you may be surprised at how well you do. When you reach step B, lightly sketch the wrinkles. Step C demonstrates how to use the paper stump to blend and shade the crevices. This combination of both lines and shading creates a terrific aged effect.

You can emphasize the wrinkles by drawing heavy lines over the blended shading.
