YOUR ROADMAP
THE CURRICULUM
Each level raises the challenge: from lines and shapes to head construction, features, shading, texture, and complete drawn portraits.
YOUR GUIDED LESSON
Learn to control your pencil and simplify a head into shapes before adding details.
Control your strokes and build a clear head outline.
A portrait becomes easier when you see it as a few simple shapes. Start with the overall head, then add guides. Save small details for later.
Keep your pencil strokes light. Light lines are easier to adjust.
Learn to observe real head shapes before adding detail.
Use the real photo as a reference. Look carefully, then draw lightly without tracing.
No photos and no tracing. Copy the drawing target, then repeat it from what you learned.Check off each step as you finish it.
Make sure the main idea stuck.
What should you draw first when constructing a head?
YOUR DIGITAL SKETCHBOOK
Practice directly here. Use the guide as a helper, or hide it when you want to draw freely.
Try changing the width, height and jaw shape. The goal is observation—not perfection.
