Description

In this training course, you will learn how to volume and create texture in a simple and fluent way, and you will also learn how to draw the components of the faces such as (eyes, lips, nose, ears and hair).

In the first chapter of this course, we will learn how to draw the nose with a colored pencil. To draw the nose, you must have colorology skills. Recognizing the correct colors in the design will get the main skin color and the right volume in the painting.

In the second chapter, you will get acquainted with how to draw and paint the ear. This part of the training is very suitable for people who are interested in face painting, and since the ear is one of the components of the face, its correct execution is very important. In this chapter, we will teach you the correct combination of colors and volume in painting the ear.

In the third chapter, you will get acquainted with how to draw and paint the lips. One of the most important parts of the face that gives a special effect to the design in drawing and painting is the human lip, which requires special training and basic steps.

In the fourth chapter, you will get acquainted with how to draw hair. Although drawing hair is very simple, but it is still a weakness of many students, and this is because students don't know the key points in relation to hair design, recognizing the directions of coloring hair correctly.

Another very important point in painting hair is drawing thin and double-edged hair, that is, the hair strands that we should draw must have a sharp beginning and end.

In the last chapter, we will get acquainted with the design and coloring of the eyes. The eye is a very beautiful, delicate and effective organ in the face, which consists of different parts (such as the pupil, iris, tear sac of the eye and the wrinkles of the upper and lower eyelid) and all of them will be fully taught in this chapter
