Hi it's me Rachelle, I lived in the province of Bulacan. I am a beginner on drawing but wanted to learn and able to draw decent drawings of anyone.
I am trying to teach myself and learned some techinques on drawing by watching tutorials online. When I do watching them how they did their drawing, I always see them using grid lines which I find and look like a cheat. Though I guess I cannot tell that it is a cheat 'cause right now I am convinced that using grid lines are great.
Lines are best guide for a balance sketch and I am thankful and glad that I give it a try to use grid. Though it may look like a cheat, the drawing and counting between the rows and columns are challenging. Yet these lines are helpful where exactly were gonna start and end. At first I find it unnatural . Drawing with boxes are quite strange and the fact that my hands are not used to do it too.
When I start to draw the left eye, I don't expect to see that it will look exactly like my reference. I also notice that using grid levels the exact location of the face details which I can't achieved everytime I did my drawing. I am still learning the shapes and angle of faces and head positions. In that matter using grids helps me.
Though I haven't seen good result yet, I'd still continue to draw both of the eyes. Then I proceed to count downwards to locate the exact start of the nose. Then I draw the lips and I'm happy to see that the lip shape of Taylor looks the same on my drawing.
I start to smudge some parts and blend using small brush. Blending stump wasn't good on my paper because it's rough so I made it sure that I will not over do the shading.
Drawing the hair is quite challenging also. I haven't tried to draw hair using smooth paper which I think is the perfect way tp achieve more realistic looks of it. No matter how I sketch layers of hair using HB and 4B pencils, I find it not realistic. I also do erase thinly the hair to create an illusion of contrast and shadow as well.
So here's my drawing. I am satisfied that I was able to draw like this as a result of using grid. Hope you could find time to check it and encourage me as well. Thanks for reading my story today, keep safe everyone! ❤
