HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE TO IMPROVE YOUR REALISTIC SHADING WITH PENCIL OR CHARCOAL?

If you want to improve your realistic rendering with pencil or charcoal, use the contour lines provided in this book You can detach them from the notebook or simply draw directly into it If you wish, you can also print them in multiple copies with the digital version It is perfectly normal for the lines to be faint as we don't want them to remain visible after you do the pencil rendering!

Next, study the black and white photo reference on the left page Look at the values and determine 4 or 5 tones, corresponding to different pencil grades Then apply them over your contour lines This exercise will allow you to become more efficient in your observation and to concentrate only on the rendering without worrying about proportions

HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE TO IMPROVE YOUR REALISTIC COLOR RENDERING?

The contour lines will also work for colored pencil drawing! Use the digital version of your guide to see the references in color, this is going to help a lot for your color analysis. I recommend that you work on a small area of a few square centimeters at the time Analyze the colors and select two or three different ones Feel free to test them on a separate paper

HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE TO IMPROVE THE REALISTIC PROPORTIONS OF YOUR PORTRAITS?

The contour lines in this book show you what is a good line preparation before applying the pencil lights and shades When tracing a portrait from scratch, help yourself with the photo reference and the technique taught in your course Portrait drawing made easy Then aim for a result that looks like the provided contour lines You can compare your result to the printed contour lines, for example by overlapping the two sheets and looking at them through a window

PORTRAIT 1

Pour l'artiste Florence Morin B., la créativité ne vient pas sans les sciences. L'expression a besoin d'être organisée, canalisée pour se concrétiser en une oeuvre
