Master the art of drawing portraits with Erik Barrett! The face is the most expressive part of the human body, making it both the most crucial aspect of drawing people and the trickiest obstacle for any artist. Worry not, however, as this How to Draw Portrait will help you overcome such a challenge! After reviewing the fundamentals in the beginning pages, you will come to five chapters that guide you from drawing the overall face to other details such as eyes, nose, mouth, ear, and hair. Different perspectives mean these facial features can vary in proportion, cast shadow, size, and shape, all of which can be challenging to tackle. This book presents them through simple illustrations and step-by-step instructions to help you grasp the concepts more easily before incorporating them into your unique drawing style. Moreover, you can use the practice pages at the back of the book to sketch what you have learned and improve hand control, both of which make all the difference in creating good portraits. Let’s get started! How to Draw Portrait includes: Steps on drawing facial features, proportions, and perspectives Suitable for both drawing beginners and experienced artists Top-quality and easy-to-grasp illustrations An perfect gift for any occasion Review: Very cool! - Really great book for the artist in your life!

Really enjoyed this book!
I feel like this was a really good book for me. There are a lot of art books that are more about general guidance while showcasing beautiful works of art or other books that are step-by-step for overly simplistic doodles, but this had a great amount of step-by-step to get me from not really knowing how to draw many features of a face, to being a lot more comfortable with drawing them. The intro talks about using pencils and physical medium, but really most of the steps can easily be adopted for use with digital. I was using procreate on my iPad for practicing in the book. Even though there are some limitations and differences with going digital, the book helped me build a lot more confidence with portraits.

Self Guided, User Friendly
We got this for my ten year old son as a gift and he loves it. It's amazing how quickly his drawing skills have improved using it. The lessons are self guided and he's able to follow them without assistance.

Great book for learning to draw.
The delivery of this book was well packaged. I purchased this book as I wanted to learn more about how to draw portraits. I find the book very good at explaining how to start and it covers all parts of the head/ face , eyes,nose and mouth. It even has practice pages at the back of the book. I am really impressed with this, I would definitely recommend buying it, if you want to learn to draw.
