| Learn Pencil Shading/Sketching
It is important to remember the following points before you start drawing a portrait.
1. As you start shading the portrait, your hand tends to get dirty with lead powder.This has to be avoided, as it might spoil your portrait.
- You can do this by working downwards from the top to the bottom of the page whenever possible, or better still, you could make it a habit to place a clean sheet of paper under your hand while working.
2. Don't hurry or rush while you draw the portrait. It will result in an untidy picture. Work patiently and complete the portrait step -by-step.
- You will need about 2-3 hours to complete a portrait study. Speed will come through practice.
3. Don't be disheartened if you are not happy with the shading in a certain part of the portrait. Improve upon it with the help of an eraser or rub out that part totally and start a new.
4. After you finish shading, compare your portrait with the original reference and make the necessary changes. In a portrait study, it is important that the portrait reflects the personality of the subject. Pay special attention to this aspects and try to achieve the 'look' of the original.
