You can draw. I know you can.

But something keeps going wrong. The face looks off. The features are almost right but not quite. The portrait feels flat no matter how much time you put into it.

You’re not imagining it. And it is not a talent problem.

After years of teaching portrait drawing, I see the same two issues come up again and again, even in students who are genuinely skilled.

    1. The features are not placed correctly in relation to each other.
    2. The values are not pushed far enough.

This free portrait guide tackles both. You’ll practice each facial feature with the right proportions and the right range of values, before bringing it all together into a complete portrait.

Targeted practice. Clear steps. The kind that actually moves the needle.

WHAT’S INSIDE

  • A simple grid method breakdown of each facial feature
  • Focused practice on eyes with brows, nose, and mouth
  • Tips for pushing your values further than feels comfortable
  • A complete face to draw once you have practiced the features
  • Pictures to guide you through each step

No spam. Just portraits.
