In this lesson you draw a frontal view of a small child, with emphasis on correct facial proportions. You use both crosshatching and hatching to define textures and forms, and utilize a challenging grid to help you render the accurate proportions of the various parts of her head and face.

Preview lesson U01 - Annie

Dear Brenda,
Wow, wow and wowzer, the LORD has given you a wonderful gift of drawing!
I am awed! It sounds like you are putting it to good use. I give Him the glory!
Keep up the great work and be blessed!

ima fuddlenoggin

this is wonderful keep up the good work

This one looks a tad too basic to put in advanced, to me, but its still great like all of your other stuff!

Yes, compared to your other work i think this should be in begginer as Minor Key said.

Hello everyone, im new at this (sorry if my english sucks). The thing is that im starting college next year, my mayor is graphic desing, but to see if get accepted i need to pass a test, that same day,i have to present some drawings, i need to do a drawing of myself ..among other things....:s maybe one of you can help me out, my test is in january.. and my drawing skills are not that good, but i consider myself as i creative person, i need help cuz im about to freak out!

beautiful picture...I drew this and i think it took me about4-5 hours drawing this

I realy like your art work I think you are the best drawer I know.I love the way you shade,makeing pathes I love your detail.

The ears seem a little too high up...

Shruti Aji Murali

If you look closely, her lower chin is slightly tucked into her neck, causing her upper head to tilt slightly forward. Try this with your own face in a mirror and you will notice that the perspective changes slightly creating the illusion that your ears are higher on your head.

But thank you for the critique. Now, according to Drawspace rules you have to find 10 nice things to say about our members' drawings! (Big grin)

Brenda

I believe she had a good reason for putting it in the expert place. It's hard to draw a face for some people and I believe its even hard for those that jion today.

Sorry, I am not speaking English ...
Congratulations for your wonderful tutorial
Thank you!
Barbara

Dear Brenda!

I don't speak English very well, but I'll do my best
First ; I LOVE your drawings, you are GREAT!
I've always wanted to learn to draw, and I think it's SO great that you do all this for free!
When I first found this page I was really sceptic, Cause it was so prof, and stil free, not many people would to that!
Thank You SO much !

I love this site ... congratulations on his work.
I'm learning a lot from him ...

Great lesson!
I'm terrible drawing people, but I tried this one and it looks good! A lot different, but good anyway! \o/ (and that's a victory for me! =D)
*sorry for my bad english =/

And thanks for the lesson!
