Hi everyone, in today's drawing time lapse, I will be doing a study in realism by attempting to draw a portrait with realistic facial proportions. I think doing studies in photorealism is a great tutorial for learning anatomy as well as a great way to build foundation skills in order to learn how to come up with original characters. I hope you enjoy! 💕
Thanks so much for watching,
Happy

I'm an oil painter/illustrator/cat mom living in Seattle. I am in love with oil painting, but I also dabble in drawing, watercolor, colored pencil, and always looking to learn new mediums! I post my painting and illustration time lapses, art tutorials for beginners (including oil painting techniques, drawing techniques, and art career advice), and various artist studio vlogs for your enjoyment. ❤️
For even more comprehensive tutorials such as (how to paint skin tones, how to paint backgrounds, how to paint hair) free prints, live streams, and daily artworks in progress, please check out my Patreon page! Thank you!
