Hi! So the lovely @Nithalana asked for a tutorial and the list of products I used on my Taylor Swift drawing that I posted earlier. I can't really do video tutorials, but I did take pictures at different steps in the process that I would be glad to share with you! A list of every product used will be posted at the bottom of this chapter.
Step 1: Finding a reference.
This is basically what I used as a reference as a guide for my drawing. Obviously, I didn't add the words because that would have been crazy hard and would take the attention away from the subject, i.e. Taylor.
Step 2: Rough sketch.
This is the point where I make a ton of mistakes, but I just allow it because I want to be able to see the whole picture. Obviously, one of the eyes is completely disproportioned and it throws the whole drawing off. I'll fix it later. Also, you can see where the choker is, it's just kind of two lines with circles inside. This is me giving myself a guideline so that I don't just try to make everything too detailed too quickly. You can also see I mapped out facial structures here.
Step 3: Clean up the rough sketch.
At this point, I realize and and acknowledge that I completely fluffed up the eyes, so this is when I fix that. Also, I put more details on the choker and hair. I also begin to sketch out basic shapes where I'm going to put the shadow.
