I recently started a new front view portrait drawing tutorial. Many members of Drawing Tutorials Online have requested this front view tutorial because it’s very tough to draw. I decided to draw this tutorial digitally using his Cintiq LCD monitor. It will be live on Wednesday for members of DTO. In the meantime I uploaded the first chapter as a podcast.

A handyman often costs less than a general contractor because he’s just there to take care of the minor jobs like painting, plumbing, doors, fences, floors, and concrete work. Plenty of people say they can do repairs and remodeling, but what really matters is getting it done right from start to finish. Whether it’s renovating a room or making an everyday repair, choose the professionals qualified to do the job: Kerry True Handyman Temecula-Handyman Murrieta. Handyman Riverside services are performed by highly skilled craftspeople. .

Front View Portrait Drawing Tutorial is what I have been waiting for. I really hope you take this drawing to the next level. Would you address the issue of how doing a portrait from a live model would differ from a photo (live models move). I might not be interested in doing the Photoshop but as you say, painting is painting. So very valuable information. Really looking forward to more on this.
Do enjoy your talking about the move,.. and the models.

I appreciate your comment. I teach many different techniques on my site. This tutorial is just one of many ways that I start a drawing. My main approach is a layered approach using surface planes, angles, anatomy, etc. I think you might be taking this one 12 minute video out of context. But that’s okay.

Matt, let me be honest. You are definitly NOT mastering digital drawing. It’s terrible to see, how you start in photoshop and restart after a few seconds (just because you dont use photoshop layers). I could see the fear (see Marshall Vandruff How to draw animals DVD). Instead of sketching it with a kind of help lines you want to start perfect. This fear of the mistake (which could be done) is it which makes it so terrible. I wanted to join the site, but now i am not sure. If you are going to publish more tutorials this digital way, i am not interested anymore. If you are going to go back to traditional pencil and paper (which you are mastering definitely!), I want to join.
Please please please don’t stop the traditional pencil online tutorials or DVDs!

I have waited patiently for this to come along and am very pleased. I am looking to see how the second approach develops as that is the one I find most difficult. I eagerly await the next installment of the tutorial.
Thanks again Matt.

Matt,
Thanks so much,,,this is what always looking for.
But,it’s just one step?
I mean ,the drawing of human body easier than the face.
that’s the biggest obstacle…”The Face”because:
it has five senses.and it’s expressive.for that I hope you can show us the other steps.
thanks
