  • Can I Turn My Passion for Pencil Sketching into a Career?

    Hi everyone,

    I’ve recently started learning pencil sketching, and I’m interested in pursuing art as a career. My goal is to become a portrait artist and eventually earn a living through my artwork.

    I’d love to hear from experienced artists or anyone who has built a career in this field. Is it possible to make a sustainable income through…

      Muhammad, good question and I am glad you asked it here instead of wondering quietly. Short answer, yes it is possible. It is not easy and it is not fast, but people do make a living from portrait work. The ones who make it are the ones who kept drawing when it was not paying yet. Welcome aboard.

      Love

      Frenky, good to see these. Six sheets of eye practice is exactly the work everybody needs. You have been putting the hours in, it shows.

      One thing to push next: your pupils and the lash roots are still lighter than they should be. In a real eye the pupil is the darkest thing on the page, and the top of the iris sits in the shadow of the… Read more

    Beyond the lines

    Sketching this portrait with charcoal medium was a very fulfilling experience and helped me work on my observation skills. 😊

  • HOT RED CHILLY for your salsa

    This was my 2nd color pencil project after water bubbles and I shall admit that it looked easy in Ali Sir’s tutorial but taught me alot and took time as well.I was surprised myself to see the hyperrealism effect coming out like magic. Ali Sir, you are a gifted and talented teacher. Kindly critique my drawing and I shall work on the flaws.… Read more

    I choose to begin with the eyes because they hold the soul of the portrait—the first place where emotion begins to breathe.
    For me, the eyes can make or mar the entire drawing; when they feel right, the whole face comes alive.

    Practicing every day to mastery it☺️

  • From Tutorial to My Own Sketch ✏️

    This time, I decided to step a little outside the tutorial and try something more advanced on my own.

    It’s not perfect, but I’m happy that I’m starting to experiment and challenge myself. Every sketch is another step forward. 😊

    I’ve also added my signature and the date to the sketch as a little record of my progress.

    Would love to hear your…

              Frenky, look at that! The first eye and this one are not even in the same room anymore. You have come such a long way since you joined. This is exactly why we redraw things. Really well done, my friend. Keep going.

              • Ali

                Jesse, this is a really good drawing. Honestly, I love how soft and gentle the shading is, the skin has such a natural, finished feel and that takes a lot of patience to get right. You can tell you took your time with this one, and it shows.

                You should be genuinely proud of what you made here. Every piece you finish like this builds something… Read more

                    • Excellent Jesse.

                      The hair, the eyes, the lips, and the shading are all well displayed.👍
