Boat Tutorial with Julie SwanBoat Tutorial
When starting out, to free draw is really good practice, helps you get to grips with the structure of a face. By free drawing, sketching and having a go, you can make your mistakes as it doesn’t matter. Play with different head positions, use charcoal or pastel is really useful as they are very mobile, quick to use and great for tonal values, you can lighten/darken very easily (have a putty rubber to hand).
