How to draw good portraits
Nothing is difficult about drawing portraits. Every youngster is capable of doing so. However, "naive portraits" are very different from "professional portraits". There are amateur artists who create primitive works of art that are both striking and expressive, yet such works are referred to as "naive art." This is because an artist does not understand or chooses not to apply the rules of constructive drawing. There is a whole other level of portrait drawing when an artist understands the anatomy of a human head, its dimensions and construction, can use constructive drawing principles, and has superior tone rendering abilities. You must know those things and draw what you know in order to draw beautiful portraits. To learn good portrait drawing skills, take the Life Drawing Academy Correspondence Course
