You Can Draw Portraits

 

Anyone can learn to draw. I was not born with the gift of being a "natural artist." The gift I was given was simply a love of drawing. So I practiced and practiced. I read every book I could find and I practiced some more and eventually I developed the skills it takes to produce a quality piece of art.

You Can Draw Portraits 

My first instructional dvd

Actual screen grab from the DVD:

In "You Can Draw Portraits" we'll go from a blank sheet of paper to a photo-realistic portrait drawing of Marilyn Monroe.

You CAN learn to draw people, it's not so tough when you have the desire to learn and the proper instruction.

Scan of the finished drawing:

If you've ever wanted to learn to draw portraits this DVD will show you the techniques that will take you from "total beginner" to "talented artist" in the shortest time possible.

 

 

You Can Draw Portraits II 

My second instructional dvd

In this follow up to my first portrait drawing dvd we again go from a blank sheet of paper to a finished, photo realistic portrait this time of Clint Eastwood.

This DVD is filled with tips and commentary and covers some elements not covered in the first video. Things such as a hat and the shadow it causes, facial hair, and male features.

This video is perfect for anyone interested in drawing portraits. Whether you're a professional artist or you've never drawn a picture before this DVD will help you improve your skills in record time.

Portrait Drawing Evolution 

This video shows the progression of a portrait drawing from start to finish. It's a commissioned portrait for a wedding present. The couples wedding had a pirate theme and it was probably the best party I've ever been to.
