Description Hey! I've finally decided to make a tutorial Well, I already had some of the material so I just needed to assemble it.

It's about drawing faces. I've made a lot of traditional portraits in the past (can't really show you much here because they belong to the people who commissioned them and I don't have their permission and sometimes I just didn't take photos). Because of that some people came and asked me how to draw faces and wanted to take "lessons" so I had to start thinking about how it works. Now I took the time to put it all together for you in a nice tutorial. It's not the invention of the wheel but it may be helpful for some.

I used my own traditional and digital drawings plus some free ressources from wikimedia commons, cgtextures.com and dreamstime.com .

P.S.: Click "download" for correct size = clear text.

Enjoy!

Diese Vorgaben sind wirklich sehr hilfreich, haben mir weitergeholfen. Und endlich sehen meine Nasen nicht mehr ganz so schrΓ€g aus.
Vielen Dank also für die Mühe, ebenso auch nochmal ein großes Lob an die Verzierungen des Tutorial. Sieht einfach insgesamt klasse aus.

This is great! It's very simple but still helpful. I only recently decided to try drawing people (before I told myself it was too hard. Stupid, right?) so this came at an extremely convenient time for me. Congrats on the DD~!

This tutorial is a lifesaver! All the tutorials I've ever seen have been, "Do a circle, now divide that into 5 eyes width and blah blah blah...." (No offense to any of you with tutorials like that! x3) I just can't do that. But this is the way I'm used to drawing, with animals - the circle, then the mouth/chin, and using those guidelines to draw the nose and such. Thank you so much!

I must say, this is one of the most good-looking tutorials I've seen this far. And by that I mean that you did a good layout and a really sweet texture framing the content. The tutorial itself is very good as well of course!
