Practicing drawing faces and people in pencil

Reflection 1 - 15th October 2018


My aim was to practice drawing facial features in pencil.

I was trying to figure out how to do nose bridges in particular.

I found some internet tips on how to draw noses.
I found it difficult at first and made a few mistakes.

I drew the nose from different perspectives.

This was just for practice.

I am happy with the facial proportions and the shape of the lips.
I think that some of my shading techniques could be improved. I will ask my art teacher to help me.

Reflection 2 - 1st November 2018


I drew the picture of the girl in the beret from my imagination just for fun.

I found matching the eye shape difficult and feel that I have drawn the shoulders too broad.

I happy with the face shape and features and think that it is a nice picture.

I think I am improving on facial features in pencil drawings.

I drew the photo of a Cambodian girl from a photo book of portraits.

I enjoyed drawing the details of the headdress, and the accessories, like the necklace and bracelets.

I think I did the shading well, and I think I drew the eyes well also.

I could improve of the drawing of the hands, because I struggle to properly structure hands.

My art teacher helped by advising me on how to draw her facial shape, and to do the shading on the drawing.

I began with an introduction to what I will be teaching.   I asked the participants questions about the topic - what they knew about the human eye, so I could better understand the participants' abilities, and work off that.  This was part of my improving communication skills as I needed to be clear about the process of drawing an eye so that they could follow my instructions. I asked the participants to draw the subject, before I had taught them anything, so I can even better understand their skills, and help them based on their ability. After I asked the participants to try out drawing, I began my explanation of how I draw an eye.  My aim was to pass on the skill that I had previously learned and to encourage their own creativity by encouraging each participant individually to build on their own skills and not just cop...
