Drawing People Realisticallyby rachel
My Attempts at Realistic Portraits
Click a thumbnail to see individual drawings. I've been practicing drawing a lot lately and want to get better at drawing people realistically. I borrowed this book from a friend, I can't remember who it was by, but it was amazing. Anyway, I followed the steps and came out with these. I know that they aren't great but they are better than what I can normally churn out, I was quite pleased with them. So yeah if anyone can recommend any books or anything that are good for realistic drawings that would be really helpful and I think I could do with all the help I can get lol ![]() Note from Kerry: Hi Rachel Well, wow, you certainly don't show that you are struggling with portrait drawing! You know what I like best? ...The page with all the bits and pieces on it - I don't know why, but they are the types of pages that I like to study in someone's sketchbook. I realize that the other drawings are snippets from that page but I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed it. When Michael sees this page, he will fall over himself to tell you that Lee Hammond is his most favorite author/book for learning portrait drawing. There is this one that teaches you how to draw lifelike portraits from photos: If you visit the link, you will be able to take a peek inside the book to see if you're going to like it. OR This book is about drawing real people... I've never doubted your drawing ability but gee, you show great promise with these drawings of yours. Keep going Rachel, you're doing great! Sidenote: I did receive your email, thanks Rachel. I am so far behind with my site work therefore putting drawings up on the site takes preference to most other things including emails. I figured you'd rather I upload your drawings rather than write back... heh. Btw, I have not got a profile page here for you. The system says there is one pending but when I click on it, it is empty. That usually only happens when an IP has been banned, so it's a puzzle. I would love for you to have a profile page so if you don't mind re-sending, that would be great. -- I look forward to seeing you!
