First, grab your favorite Graphite Pencils (for me they are F, HB, 8B, 6H), Erasers, Ruler and Brush…..Take some pics of your family…Yes…make them smile!
Then start drawing…..
I removed the color from the pictures and printed them out…(just fast draft). By removing the color it helps to see the slight variations in the grays.
It was pretty tough to get the shading on the back teeth here….but I did my best!
Pulled in another toothy smile to sketch here.
This kid never needed braces, which made me happy!
Little overview here….The teeth could be toned down a bit. These remind me of those little Dental Pamphlets you see at the Dentist’s office, when they want you to try some new product. Which will make your teeth THIS WHITE!! …..Oh-evie!
I have two more smiles to do. I like breaking down the face in this way….not so darn overwhelming!
This is fun, you should try it sometime. I think all my doodling and birdie drawings have helped me to learn to draw better. It’s gotten me to use my tools. Which has helped me to get familiar with my hand mechanics and the limits of the pencils/pens…..Obviously, still have a long way to go. Have to work on what I'm seeing, all those little dimensions!
Sometimes I forget how easy it is to just put on a smile….I am more drawn to the smiley types, aren’t you?
Smile and the world smiles with you!
