HOME MATERIALS GRIDDING BLEND & SHADE THE EYES THE HAIR STEP THROUGH DEMO MAKING A TORTILLON

STEP 3. Pencil


I carefully copy the  information in each cell, to the corresponding cell on the drawing paper, drawing in the contours of shadowed areas and the highlights in the eyes, the cheekbones, nose and hair. I also try to indicate the varying directions of hair growth.

Demo

Because of the graduation between tones, it can, at first, be difficult to decide where to draw the outline, this can only be roughly estimated and is usually corrected during the blending stage anyway. Okay, I'm quite happy that all the information I need is now in place, all that remains for this stage is to erase the unwanted grid...
