How To Sketch People

We're starting with four faces. Draw the four circles and guidelines to help sketch in the facial features. When talking about sketching, you can do quick pencil strokes. Do the strokes lightly, please. And try to stay as close as possible with these

Now you've gotten the facial position and mass with the circles and guidelines, draw the lower jaw area and the upper lids of the eyes.

The wonderful thing about those guidelines that look like satellite antennae is they help with perspective and placing the facial features. You can put in the lower lids and iris of their eyes. The nose goes at the bottom of the circle. Now start dra

We're doing pretty good at this point. Your guidelines are shaping into an actual face. Damon has those wonderful expressive eyebrows. Go ahead and draw place mark for them. No details yet. You can now start on the rest of his mouth, neck and ears. D

Description: Who is more fun to sketch than Damon Salvatore of the hit TV series "The Vampire Diaries." Damon Salvatore is Stefan Salvatore's older, stronger and malevolent vampire brother. And what a hoot he is. With the most fun, riveting, and witty dialog, he can make you laugh, cry or scream. Not to mention his many facial expression. Though Damon is known to be the "bad" vampire brother, his association with his "good" brother and Elena (the woman he now loves) is slowly turning him into a better man. Still charming, handsome and somewhat a cad, I can help but love Damon. I hope that ya'll will enjoy this tutorial on "<em><strong>how to sketch people</em></strong>", step by step! Don't forget to leave some feedback on how you did!
