How to Easily Sketch a Portrait | A Beginners Guide

Follow along with MC as he takes you through how to easily sketch a portrait based off of reference. In this video, you will learn how to establish the foundation of the portrait using the Loomis method. Then you will learn how you can use the Asaro method to identify the different planes of the face. You will also learn how you can use rhythm lines from the Reilly method to structure the features of the face as well. The hope is that you walk away from this video with a much clearer understanding of how to sketch out portraits, whether they be for fun or for a client. Stay happy, stay healthy, and remember #neverstopdrawing

    Hi Braden! I'm a huge fan of yours and have watched almost every one of your videos! I was wondering if you are offering any sort of drawing classes? I really want to continue to improve my drawing skills. :)

    Hey! I'm glad you are enjoying the videos. Outside of KZread the only thing I have is my Skillshare. There I have more formal classes for beginning to draw portraits and I have some classes on how to draw dog portraits as well. Skillshare is a subscription but I have a referral link in the description of this video so If you want to try it out you can get the first month for free, then if you want to continue your subscription then you pay. I hope to see you there :) Take care my friend.
