Hi leonardotmt,

I don't normaly mark portaits when draw them .but i start the portait form the eyes cause the eye are in center on the face and draw out from there. You may also want look some of lesson that Brenda has she some are on portions of the face .

thanks mate
how do you get the distance from the eyes to th chin and so on

This link should help it one of the lesson here on drawspace.

Hi leonardotmt,
You can draw a light grid before start the picture, i've done it sometimes after trying Brenda's lesson "Karin", it sure works, but it takes you some more time... anyway just an idea...
When i don't do the grid,most of times to save time lol, i usualy start by the eyes too...
