Guided Course: Learn to Draw Frontal, Profile and Three-Quarter Faces in a Sketchbook Step by Step
A guided course by Gaby Niko , Illustrator and Sketchbook Artist
Master multi-angle portrait sketching with step-by-step techniques for drawing frontal, profile, and three-quarter faces
Dive into the art of multi-angle portrait sketching and refine your skills in capturing the human face from various perspectives. Begin with a side view, focusing on clean lines and proportion guidelines to lay a solid foundation. Progress to a second profile, where subtle shifts in angles and structure will enhance your understanding of facial dynamics. The journey continues with the intriguing three-quarter view, providing an opportunity to explore depth and asymmetry in perspective. Finally, synthesize your newfound knowledge in a front-facing portrait, creating a balanced and complete composition.
Each step of the way, develop consistency in facial structure while building confidence in sketching faces from any angle. The guided lessons offer a structured approach, ensuring you grasp essential concepts of form, proportion, and shading. By the end, your sketchbook will feature a cohesive page of facial angle studies, showcasing your growth as a portrait artist. Embrace the challenge and discover the joy of bringing multi-dimensional human expressions to life on the page.
