In this tutorial, we will go through the process of drawing the portrait above, step-by-step. Please bear in mind that the portrait "process" was recreated after the fact. Meaning, I took a finished portrait, and then drew illustrations that depicted the many stages that the drawing went through before it was finished. These illustrations are a little "funky" at times, but will suffice to illustrate each stage of the portrait. If you are concerned about drawing a portrait freehand (the method that is used in this tutorial) please consult the "Drawing for Newbies" tutorial. Materials you will need:
Make sure these lines are drawing relatively faintly, so they can be erased later. But don't make them so faint that you can't see them!
