How do you draw a portrait in 15-20 minutes?
In the past decade or so, I have made thousands of dollars sitting at events and drawing fast sketches of people’s faces. I got faster and more exact as I kept practicing, but I also discovered that you should learn some basic techniques before you even give it a try. While you’re sketching as fast as you can and looking at the facial features, examining everything in your brains and taking it all in, there are certain tricks you can use, questions you have to ask yourself when you’re studying a face, and tips you should know in order to minimize the time you spend on them.
In this book, I will tell you what I know, give you a number of examples, and take you through what I have found to be the most effective steps when you’re sketching a portrait.
