Publisher's Synopsis
From realistic to sketchy, fashion to scribbly, whimsical to edgy, this comprehensive 260 page guide by experienced mixed media artist Karen Campbell, teaches artists of all levels, everything they need to know about how to accurately draw gorgeous female faces, features, and hands in many fun styles, so that they can find the one that's right for them! Through 37 step-by-step drawing exercises, students will successfully learn how to draw the face and facial features (eyes, ears, noses, mouths, and hair) in different styles and mediums, angles and ethnicities. As hands often accompany faces in portraits, there is a special section on drawing hands where artists can learn how to easily draw this otherwise very difficult subject. In addition, aspiring artists will learn how to choose and "read" reference photos to help draw accurate highlights and shadows on realistic and whimsical faces. Karen also introduces a variety of different drawing tools to achieve unique results so artists can begin to develop their own style. As a special bonus, readers get access to dozens of links to additional free online art lessons where they can continue their path to discovering their own unique style!
