画一张流泪的女性脸 - 速写本练习/Drawing a Female Face with Tears - Sketchbook Practice

Hello my dear friends, welcome back to my channel, I hope you're all doing fine. In this video I will show you the process of drawing a female face full of emotions. Actually I was going to draw a regular study of a face as usually. I used the reference photo for creating the basic proportions of the face and facial features. And then when I was studying the photograph, I just felt like the face was kind of empty and like a blank page not telling any story. So I decided to put some feelings into it to express something more, maybe even myself. Maybe you can find yourself there as well in her glossy eyes. So I looked for some photographs of people expressing their emotions. Feeling sad, crying, feeling any pain. And I could see we are just the same, the way our eyebrows bend, the way the skin falls into little wrinkles when we have some troubles. The shiny sparkles in the eyes. And I took these little features and I tried to apply them into the sketch. It was kind of therapy for me I guess to go through this. I could also see how it affected me just watching these photographs. Even though I did not know any one of those people, I could feel some kind of compassion or comprehension. So yeah, just the drawing itself was part of the learning process. I spent much more time with this drawing than I had expected. I kept redrawing these eyes and I felt like the book was still unfinished in the middle of the plot all the time. And the words just couldn't stop coming. Also I wanted to make her eyes the main character of the book. I wanted to make you feel identified with the character. I tried to make them pop off the paper. Also to add depth to them. So I used soft pencils to create really dark values maybe. Because I felt like adding more and more would make them speak loudly for me. And still keep something mysterious for themselves at the same time. When it comes to the rest of the drawing, it also took a lot of time. I wanted to build up the values gradually with very soft layers of shading. You can barely see the progress at this moment. Each stroke makes such a little difference. You're getting to some visible results really slowly, little by little. But the results show up in the end. I love to learn from the drawing practice. It's never only about developing the techniques of drawing. It's a learning process offering much more when we try to find the real value behind everything we do or go through. And it's not easy at all.I know, I know, I know. But this drawing taught me to be a little more patient. Well, I wish I would be even more patient. But I believe I'm on the right way. All these little light pencil strokes make such a huge difference all together. And I realized that even though I can't see the results immediately, there can be a huge difference in the end. It's actually really hopeful.

The link is in the description down below this video. There are more than 150 videos right now. And there are also a few tiers to choose from. So, yeah, it would be great to be part of your art journey. And you can cancel anytime if you don't want to continue. And that would be a huge support. So, thank you for that. I believe we shouldn't try to hide our tears or sadness and cover it with a smile instead. Tears may be a way the nature taught us to speak when our mouth keeps quiet. It doesn't even affect her beauty. Just notice her eyebrows. They bend like a spine of an open book you can easily read from. Her wrinkles are like a tattoo on the skin coming from something she would truly remember. Just inking without the paint on the outside. And her tears quietly say all the unspoken words. Softly caress her skin showing sympathy and tender self-care. Efface sadness from her face and lead everything down to the ground to water a seed of relief. And I actually almost finished her story. But then I realized I did not like it. I did not like how it was going. I'm not sure why exactly. I do not think it was because of the technique or... I don't know. I just had a feeling the character changed with the new features. Somehow they spoke louder than the eyes did. And I did not want that. So I decided to press the delete button and leave it unfinished. Yeah.I know I learned a lot and I enjoyed the process itself actually. I hope you like this video.
