Klappentext zu „Step-by-Step Portraits from Simple Shapes “
Feel the fear and draw faces anyway! Many beginner artists feel intimidated by drawing portraits - getting faces and anatomy in proportion can seem really difficult. But it doesn't have to be! This book alleviates all those anxieties by training the eye to look for simple forms first, and to use this foundation to free the artist to develop their portrait drawing skills.Through the meticulously designed exercises and step-by-step tutorials in this book, internet art guru Satyajit Sinari - better known as SinArty - helps artists unlock their portrait drawing potential and create intricate artworks, starting from really simple shapes and building up to more advanced sketching and shading techniques, in graphite and charcoal pencil.In this eye-opening and generous sharing of his personal techniques, SinArty explains that to be a good artist is to be a good critic of art. Understanding proportion and training the eye to spot mistakes is a crucial step in the process. This book teaches you how to critique your own art while drawing, as well as how to perfect your linework, pencil pressure, control and more. This comprehensive guide covers everything from how to hold the pencil to intermediate-level shading techniques to create contrast and depth in drawings.Packed with easy-to-follow guidance, this unique book will help readers to become better artists and create a solid base to take into other genres besides portraits. With a focus on drawing from references rather than life, the tutorials include portraits of living subjects, drawings of sculptures, and human anatomy. The book also touches on composition and drawing from the imagination.Start from simple shapes and watch your portrait drawing skills flourish with this fool-proof step-by-step guide.
Lese-Probe zu „Step-by-Step Portraits from Simple Shapes “
Drawing is a way to express your mind. We all start scribbling at a very young age - the first coherent shapes that a child can draw are circles and squares. This was the motivation behind my style, and each portrait in this book will be built on top of these basic shapes. We will journey through different techniques of sketching, shading and proportions. The aim? To help you draw recognizable portraits from references.I was born in the busy city of Mumbai, India, to a family of artists. My parents are both architects and so was my grandfather - consequently, there was no shortage of art supplies at home. I was three years old the first time my grandfather and I sat down together with a brush and watercolour paints. Watching him whip up a watercolour sketch of a small boat in the water, I was fascinated with how the picture came alive with just a few brush strokes. Shortly thereafter, I started scribbling on any surface I could find. My parents took me to most of the art stores in my city, where I could explore lots of different mediums, from pastel crayons to coloured pencils. They also took me to different art exhibitions around the city. I gravitated towards drawing portraits early on in my life, and remember drawing a live portrait of my grandmother when I was seven years old. My love for portraiture had begun.Portraiture is exciting to me as there is a "likeness" factor involved which demands close attention to proportions, relative feature distances and tonal differences. Have you ever tried to draw a portrait and felt that something was missing? Have you felt that individually, all the facial features look perfectly drawn, but as a complete portrait, something is a little off? By sharing techniques that I learnt along the way and still use, I will try to help you identify the problem and the solution. Making mistakes while drawing, especially when working with proportions, is very common. Learning to be a good self-critic is vital. This book not only includes

a step-by-step process for drawing portraits, but also showcases unedited mistakes I myself made during the process. You will see how I identified the problems and eventually, how I corrected them.Portraiture makes you an overall observant artist. It is exciting to me that you can communicate with the observer through your drawing. A face can be very expressive. It is fascinating how subtle changes in the shadows can change the expression of a face completely. With this book, I take you on a journey through my mind to visit all the things I love about portrait drawing. I hope it inspires you to find your own path.
