Observational Drawing Practice: Four Takes on the Same Face

Repetition of the same face drawn four times in Procreate

How Repetition Lead to my Drawing Improvement

Here are some more faces that I drew. It’s actually the same face drawn four times. In an exercise of observational drawing I looked for a face on Pinterest that would be fun to draw. I found this lady with a face looking at an upward angle. I thought this would be a challenge for me to draw.

I’ve been drawing the same face a several times to help my observational drawing ability. You can see the improvements and changes from each new drawing to the next. So these are all drawn in procreate. I like using the “Procreate Pencil” brush found in the sketching brush section. With so many amazing brush options in Procreate this is the one that I feel works best for me.

The first and second face drawing were drawn with a size 8 brush and an opacity of 35 percent. The third and fourth were drawn with a size 7 brush with an opacity of 40 percent. I like how all the face drawing came out but I think the fourth is my favorite.

If you use Procreate to draw, what’s you favorite brush?
