Face & Hands Tutorials
Have you always wanted to learn how to paint faces and hands? There are some simple (non-scary) techniques that can help you to get started.
In the majority of my online art classes, I cover some basics of face drawing. However, I like to make sure we have enough time to cover in detail the entire creation of our paintings. So I have included some free tutorials and reference material to help you, if you need in-depth assistance on creating faces and hands.
I know when I first started drawing faces and hands, there was so much information it was overwhelming. And I wanted to learn exactly what I needed to do to get a face to look right. I had to learn facial proportions and structure.

How To Videos: Drawing Face and Hand Features
I have included below some easy to follow videos and reference material that will assist you. Artist Florian Geyer's video is quite complete, however, I have to be honest, I no longer mark out every 1/2 and 1/4 mark, when drawing a face.
I have been asked several times, how do I draw my faces? The video below is a short tutorial, showing my typical process for designing faces. I do not paint realism, but I love to create portraits using a photo reference as my muse.
I did enjoy these How To Videos from artists Josiah Jazza Brooks and Florian Geyer, and found them to be very helpful when drawing proportional facial and hand features.
