Drawing Faces Side View

Female
start with a circle
divide in half horizontally and vertically like the front view of face
divide the bottom half in half
divide the bottom quarter in half again and drag this line out to the right
then draw a line from bottom of circle out to the right



add eye on the eye line close to the right side of circle
add ear on left side of circle, centers around eye line, coming down close to bottom of circle


from the front of the ear, bring down the jaw line down and back up in front of the face
draw in the shape of the nose, triangle pyramid shape
bridge of the nose follows along forehead line, as it gets to the eye line, it starts to curve out and around to get to the top of the nose


usually does a triangle shape for the eye
the angle of the top is less than the angle of the bottom of the eye
curve to connect them
add creases for eyelids, following the circle, the top crease is a little more angled



add eyebrow
add eyelashes if female, might want to add some for eye that is hidden behind head
add pupil and iris


add nose
pull in the bottom of nose
add back and nostril


with lips, start off nose, between nostril and tip and angle out
then pull out lip a little and bring down and around to smile
finish top lip
add bottom lip
jaw line curves in with a small crease under lip and connect to jaw line


add ear and neck and hair



Male
start with same circle and lines, eye and ear shape laid in

jaw line and angles will be harsher and masculine
more dramatic the older
set in jaw line
no eyelashes, maybe use heavier line to give appearance of eyelashes
eyebrows are bigger in boys
nose curve will not have such a tight curve, will come out a little more and more squared at the end
upper lip doesn't have a cute curve
don't generally draw in individual lips


Exaggerated Character
start with same circle, lines, eye and ear shape
mainly changing nose and eye for this character
longer jaw line and nose lines
with tip of nose turned up more
can pull in forehead line as needed
bigger brows
crazy long eyelashes
more prominent chin
elongated neck
add big earring and necklace
big bouffant hairdo

Old Man and the Sea Double Exposure

Image
Here is my final image I started with 3 images from Unsplash a picture of an old man by Madhav Rajesh a picture of the sea and a picture of rowboats cut out subject from background - I used select subject and then select and mask to refine my selection. Then as output method use new layer desaturate (command+shift+U) (I didn't make a clean selection because I didn't think it would make a difference in the final image) drag in second image lower opacity on the new layer to move and transform while seeing where you are placing it in reference to your subject image when you have it where you want, up the opacity back to 100% then command+click on you subject layer to load it as a selection and with the second image layer selected click on the mask icon at the bottom right to create a layer mask in the shape of your subject I also added a solid color background layer now you can paint on the canvas with the layer mask selected command...

Smooth Lines in Procreate

Image
notes from video by BeeJayDel canvas size = 4500x5400 @300 dpi using natural inker brush with these settings he uses matte screen protector and drawing gloves let the tip of pencil do all the work do not put palm against the screen let arm do all the movement, uses arm to move instead of wrist adjust pressure as you go don't come up with hand to taper off, do that with pressure he usually starts heavier and tapers off, but you can start soft then go harder then let up practice daily just do lines like this or use as a warm up exercise to get your arm and hand loose and fluid his sketch lines are just a guide or general idea he likes the fluid organic flow if you try to hard to trace it looks like its traced and mechanical stay loose with your lines the slower you go, the more jitters you will see can turn streamline up to help with jitters, but your tapers won't be as nice and it spills out more he usually only uses streamline to do long lines, like a...
