Portrait Drawing • Working Intuitively

This is a portrait drawing in charcoal with an emphasis on working intuitively to build up the structure in a loose and expressive way.

I love the part where he draws a tiny line to separate the lips and she becomes more alive

EXCELLENT WHAT TYPE OF PAPER DO YOU USE AND WHAT MATERIALS PLEASE

[@Chef1719lf]

Hey Jeff! Are you using straight lines mainly? Thanks so much!

[@JeffHainesArt]

Yes, I try work with angles and straight lines, especially in the beginning. Less so as it develops. Thanks for watching!

[@Marciamarta]

Thanks for the demo! I ove watching you draw. I'm impressed with your skill! Why do you call it intuitive when you're referencing a photo?

[@JeffHainesArt]

Thank you Marcia! By intuitive I just mean that it's constructed using observation and impression rather than a lot of measuring.

[@Marciamarta]
