Have you been so into drawing a specific subject like cars, or dogs or females or males? When I was young, I tried creating some cartoony and anime-like portraits and some objects, an example of such are fruits, flowers, vases and other things in my surrounding. As time goes by, I felt an eagerness to learn to draw portraits in a realistic approach not just for my school related project compliance but because of my will. I started searching some videos which could help me in learning along the way. It wasn't easy for there are a lot of drawbacks, doubts and fear. There are days when I really feel to draw and won't stop holding my pencil but of course there are also days which are totally opposite.

8th grade. It is when I notice that usually I figure out how to draw women over men. My friends ask me, "Why I don't usually draw men?" When I tried drawing males sometimes it kinda look like a female and I find it very new to me because the features are notably different from women which includes the hair, facial structures and its figure so it is so easy for me to fall into a routine to draw women or females or ladies or girls.

Personally, I draw females for "familiarity and mastery". I want to get used to this kind of subject so that my hand will just go on autopilot and in the long run, I want to master in creating women portraits. I knew and met people who draw males quite often and some might be into monsters or horror theme or sci-fi or abstract. In the end of day, it's your choice on what would be your content is.

If you want to see the process of my attempt to paint a man then dive in and I'll show you.

I used my vivo smartphone and if you want to try the software then you can install it too.

If you have visited my blog you might say that my first digital art was a women because I posted about "My First Ever Digital Phone Art". Yes, you are also right but my first ever digital art was created using my laptop and it was a male who is Tom Ellis.

During this quarantine, I also tried drawing some males for a couple of times in my sketchbook for practice. Two days ago, I decided to digitally paint a male actor named Hero Fiennes Tiffin and I managed to find a close up picture of him as my reference.

As usual, I made the outline of my drawing and started to color it in a very messy way. I tried to identify the parts where I have to place a specific color shade. Afterwhich, I tried blending the colors to have a smooth and clean result.

After blending the colors, switching from brush to brush and setting different opacity, finally, I am done. I hope you enjoy my short walk through about this portrait. If you want to make a version of this portrait then, just click the red word "reference" above.
