Description: So in this next tutorial installment, I'll be showing you how to draw one of the strangest religious concepts I've ever heard of. It reminds me of a concept similar to Christianity, with the reincarnation of Jesus. In this lesson, I’ll show you "how to draw the Dalai Lama" Tenzin', step by step. This was sort of fun to work on, but Tenzin's face kinda reminds me of that fat king Zora from Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. The part I had most fun with, was painting the face as well as the background. If you want to draw portraits successfully, I advise you to look at many references and styles in order to make portrait drawing much easier. I've also tried to use thinner lines with this specific style so they don't stand out too much, contrasting the painterly look. Be sure to have yourself an eraser and lots of patience, because if you're a traditional artist, you're going to need it. Unlike digital art, you can't hit the undo button whenever you make a mistake. Drawing portraits digitally allow so much more confidence as you work. Anyways, I hope you'll enjoy this tut. Let me know if you want me to draw any other famous faces from history for either your school projects, or just for fun. Peace out!
