Constructive Drawing Technique Pencil Tutorial

The constructive drawing technique used to draw pencil portrait tutorials.

Aram Aminnezhad is the artist whom created all of the step by step drawings on this page.

Each one of the images below, contains a photo reference and a step by step approach to drawing portraits.

The initial stage is a geometric shape which encompasses the head.  From that point, each subsequent drawing is refined more and more, till you get the final and semi realistic finish.

Lovely expressions, perspectives, hairstyles and clothing, will make sure you get variety throughout.  That is if you are trying to replicate them or admiring the artistry which goes into this technique.

Either way, have a great time with Aminnezhad's work.
