Your Portrait Drawings

If you have come here to see a great variety of portraits in pencil, you are welcome to look through the portraits created by guest artists at allaboutdrawings.com or simply scroll towards the bottom of the page to find them. Study For April Copy

To be successful at drawings portraits, you need to devote time and dedication to the process.

I have been studying how to do portraits since I started learning to draw. It's something I really want to do.

The drawing I did here is a copy of "Study For April." I'm not sure who the original artist was.

This drawing isn't of high standard and I know I need to continue practicing. One of these days I'll get it right!

I scanned this from my sketchbook so I apologize that it's not very clear.

It's obvious by looking at all the guest drawings and reading their stories that all of us aspire to be able to draw good portraits.

I bought an online book called 8 Easy Steps To Drawing A Portrait that showed me how to successfully draw portraits using a grid. It was an excellent step by step guide for anyone who is puzzled by how to use a grid and to achieve a realistic portrait drawing.

Just by following the process of using a grid, this book really helped me understand more about drawing portraits - even without using the grid. If you want to take a look, I also share my drawings of portraits that I achieved after following that guide.

I am sorry to say that new drawings are no longer being accepted to this website for a wide variety of reasons.

I feel very sad for everyone concerned that it had to be removed and I do apologize for any disappointment you may experience.
