Content preview from Drawing: Faces

Elderly Women

These more advanced renderings bring out the character of the subjects. The elderly woman on this page, for example, appears stern and serious, while the woman on the opposite page evokes a certain kindness and gentle spirit.

Using the usual proportion guidelines, block in the face. Remember to include the hat as part of the initial sketch, as shown in step A. Add shapes to indicate the wrinkles and loose skin in step B.

As people age, certain features will begin to sag and perhaps become less symmetrical. Notice that the shading strokes are rather harsh and bold. This technique creates the appearance of rough, weathered skin.
