Portrait Tutorial by birdy

#Tutorial #Birdytutorial #portrait #Eye #nose #mouth #face #hair #Head
Here's a tut for portraits. This covers the basics and facial relativity. I'll do a step by step portrait tut next time. I hope it's useful!---
I spelled Demonstrate wrong. I got distracted and didn't notice in time. haha. Sorry about the handwriting.

-sugestion: *dont write with light color(light blue) on the white background
*dont heard what people say, if they 'looking forward on your next tut', it doesnt mean you have to post it right next time, enjoy your time..

Thanks guys!

@acchan Yeah, I've been having a problem with my left eye so I did this with the brightness turned down and one eye closed to help with the eye strain. I'm sorry if its hard to read!

A "Hands and Feet" tutorial would be nice! Thanks for making this! You make it look easy. Saving it for future references :)

Your tutorials are always helpful. I definately know that I have made plenty of mistakes on hair, teeth, and the general face proportions. Well thanks, I will try to use what I learned.

nice tutorial, I seem to have difficulties with proportions so it's good to have a reminder and I'm sure this will be helpful to a lot of people

The medical term for what you call "Cupid's bow" is "philtrum". Sorry, I read *WAY* too many trivia books........... I'll go back to my corner now...

nostrils, just ugh, for me. thats mostly what im stuck on at the moment (among other things) in a portrait im doing of a charcter in a game i really like (cullen from dragon age anyone? lol). its a mixed media, where im using colored pencils, charcoal, and pencil. if i manage to do it the way i want... its gonna look cool. lol its fun, and challenging for me. so far i have a brow, eye, and an outline of the bridge of the nose started (and tentativly the left eyelid, but... yeah). it mostly just started out as me playing around with the charcoal pencils my mother bought for a project of hers. aint i a stinker for stealing her stuff. >w<
