    Learn the correct way of drawing the hole of the nostrils in front view. Be careful if you don’t know about this, one tiny detail of this can literally spoil the realism of your nose drawing.

    Hi, The grid is meant to be a training wheel tool to help train your free
    hand drawing skills. When you use a grid, you are still free hand drawing.
    Just on a smaller scale. So you are still developing your skills. If you
    want to eventually stop using a grid, just gradually make your grid box a
    little bigger each time. This will force you to freehand more and
    eventually you can draw with out the grid. Thanks for the question.

    How can I draw A Grid? It’s really hard and I can’t freehand my drawing 🙁

    i dont get the grid technique, i mean couldnt you just print just the
    outlines of the object and then fill in the shadings on your own? and i
    wanted to ask how your accuracy for proportions developed while using this
    technique? can i be sure that i will one day be able to manage drawing the
    proportions accurate without the grid?? awaiting your answer 🙂

    In reality is i’m very bad at copying things,i prefer to do it all alone by
    myself.so it’s kinda hard for me to copy when drawing a potrait..well i’ll
    learn i guess. ;__;

    Yes of course. I included the reference photo in the original lesson. You
    can find the link to it in the description. (Sorry, youtube won’t allow me
    to post a link in the comments).

    Do you have to start with the fold of the eyelid? Is there a certain order
    you need to go in? i feel like if i start in the fold of the eyelid my eye
    will be off balance.. thank you !! -Beth

    I don’t like this.. I feel like if I learn how to draw this way, ill become
    dependent on the grid and need to draw one every time. Then ill just end up
    in the same place I am now with a lot of wasted time

    Highly recommended to not draw from a photograph. You lose nuances in value
    and sometimes there is a slight distortion. Instead try to draw from
    observation more.

    Thank you for this tutorial. I`m from Germany, I found the link to your
    lessons on FineArtEBook. First I could not believe that these lessons are
    for free, but it`s the truth. You are doing a very good job. Thank you very
    much. I want to tell you so much more, but my english is not so good. seven
