DRAWING THE EYES
The 'life' of portrait depends on the
proper drawing of eyes.

The sketchbooks of Leonardo
da Vinci and Edgar Degas are two examples of many done by famous artists
which have become art objects in their own right, although many pages show
more thoughtful studies rather than true sketches.
The ability to quickly
record impressions through sketching has found varied purposes in today's
culture. Courtroom artists are usually sketchers. Sketches drawn to help
authorities find or identify wanted people are called forensic sketches.
Street performers in popular tourist areas often include artists who sketch
portraits within minutes.
A sketch method of reproducing
photographs is done with a photographic enlarger in a dark room. The image
is projected on to the paper where the sketch is to be done. All the light
shades are penciled until the paper is all the same shade.Click
