DRAW A BETTER PORTRAIT From Life
This drawing tutorial gives you 8 helpful tips to improve your drawing and to learn how to draw a better realistic portrait and realistic face from life. It’s a complete art lesson on how to draw a portrait from life. And then how to finish that live portrait in your studio, working from a photo.
You’ll find that these 8 tips are foundational to drawing a realistic face using any drawing medium, including charcoal or graphite pencil. And these art tips cover every step of the portraiture drawing process.
Yes! You can absolutely follow along as I work from live model Corrie and use sighting to determine the height-to-width ratio of her face, indicate placement of her features, block in the basic shapes of her face, establish the shadow and light shapes, and then refine everything to bring Corrie’s portrait to a realistic finish.

ABOUT ARTISTCHRONICLE:
Dedicated to teaching you the skills needed to draw and paint successfully.
Hey! I’m Don Stewart. You’ll notice that I produced a lot of the videos here on the ArtistChronicle channel in 2009 to 2013. Where have I been? Well, in 2013 my priority became getting better at teaching offline. But now, in 2020, I’m online again! With renewed zeal and dedication to providing quality how to draw and how to paint video lessons!
This video is one of the latest and more with this new format are coming soon. But, whether you watch the latest or videos from a decade ago, I genuinely hope you find them all to be informative — and any kookiness to be entertaining. Hey, learning should be fun! You remember more 🙂
