Sketching Faces

By , About.com GuideMarch 9, 2010

Follow me on:

Freehand sketching is a useful skill for any artist, and one that forms the backbone of many artist's technique. Sketching allows you to observe and expressively draw your subject, with a focus on structure and form rather than obsessing about small detail.

This week I'm really chuffed to share a new tutorial on Sketching Faces, created for Drawing/Sketching readers by cartoonist Ed Hall. Ed is a brilliant cartoonist whose work has featured in major publications including Time magazine and the Washington Post. Sketching plays an important role in his work.
