Step 8.

When you sketch his hair, add those straight lines and curls. And use short, jagged lines for his parted hair at the top of his head, hairline, and sideburns at his ear. Try staying close to the lines that represent the direction of his hair. This wi

Step 9.

Now draw in the back of his hair, neck and shirt collar. If you haven't already, you can erase your guidelines.

Step 10.

I made this line drawing especially for you if you don't want to do the pencil shading and blending part. Otherwise, let us continue to the pencil drawing part.

Step 11.

Here is the outline done with a 0.7mm mechanical pencil. Look closely and see if your lines look something like this. You can erase if certain areas like the eyes or nose don't line up. Take you kneaded eraser and dab off the shadow outlines or dark

Step 12.

Before we go any further, I want to mention some tools I used, which is the famous white acrylic (this time white opaque watercolor) and also sandpaper. During the shading process on Chris's shirt and tunic top, I used 180-grit sandpaper and rubbed o

Step 15.

Best thing you can do when drawing hair is to establish the general shape then work in the main strands of hair by holding your pencil at a 45 degree angle for stroking and coverage. Then, as in the third picture, you can work in more details. But he

This is the first start with the pastel application. If you do the whole picture in a pencil sketch, this is where you would sketch in small circles or lines to shade the areas. It would take hours upon hours to cover all that area with a pencil. I c

Here I used my blending stump to "draw" in more lines, add more shading to his hair eyebrows, side of face, neck and shirt with the pastels. I smoothed the lighter gray in his face with a tissue. After that, I sprayed the picture with "Krylon Workabl
