Learning to draw faces always seems to be an indomitable task for the novice drawer. When we first start to learn to draw we think drawing portraits is something we will never be able to do and we marvel at how easy experienced artists can draw a face with ease.
Most people who try to draw portraits make the mistake of trying to run before they can walk. They jump straight into the complicated parts of drawing before mastering the basics. This is why most people learning to draw give up in frustration.
Drawing portraits is a skill that requires a lot of practice and patience. It’s not as difficult as novices think. Drawing faces just requires mastering a few basic skills that you will apply to every face you draw. If you’re just starting to learn to draw portrait drawing can seem like a complicated unreachable skill for you. It isn’t but you must learn the basics of drawing first.
Someone learning to play the violin isn’t expected to pick it up and start playing instantly. They have to learn the basics and along the way they will make mistakes, this is what the learning process is about. It’s the same when we are starting to learn to draw. You must start with the basics before moving on to more complex things.
Learning to draw faces is simply a matter of mastering a number of different skills, which, at the end of the day, is all aquiring any skill is about. And don’t be fooled into thinking that being able to draw and paint is a gift we are born with, it isn’t, it’s simply a skill set that anyone can learn. An argument I hear quiet a lot for people who would like to learn to draw is that they don’t have the time. This is rubbish in this day and age.
There’s so many fantastic drawing and painting courses around that you can join for a small fee and you will be instructed on how to draw in your own home. And no matter how busy we think we are we can all find an hour or two to pursue our interests. Think how many hours you waste sitting in front of the tv. An hour a day of practicing soon adds up and you’ll be surprised at how quick your skillbase increases.
If you dream of being able to draw portraits then you can do it. It will require patience and practice but you will be able to achieve your goal if you follow some instruction and begin to practice.
