So if you are passionate about learning how to draw the human body, specifically the face, then you are sure to find the following tutorial extremely helpful.
The following is a 6 part video lesson demonstrating step by step, the process of drawing a realistic portrait. It was created by the very talented portrait artist Ron Lemen.
Unfortunately, this drawing series has not been completed yet or the artist has not yet uploaded the final part. I wasn’t planning on posting this incomplete tutorial, but it is such a valuable lesson, that I just couldn’t pass it up. I hope you don’t mind. I promise to post the final part if and when it becomes available.

This style of drawing is applied in layera with the foundation of the geometric anatomy then the shading. It’s like painting in the sense that so much needs to be touched up.

Great tutorial! I only wish we could see it to the end! I’ve never seen this kind of process applied to drawing, it’s very interesting and yields some great results. Thanks!

Where can I view Ron Lemen’s entire video on portrait drawing. Parts 1 – 7 are excellent. I’m sure parts 8 – 15 will help me a lot.
Thank you

as a beginner in the world of illustration, so I feel really need to see all these videos. I still had difficulty in making perspectives for the human body and also how to create light and dark side of the face
