I am very fortunate to say that I have the most talented audience on YouTube and the last time that we took a vote on my Facebook page, my viewers decided that that they want me to do a tutorial on how to draw Kate Beckinsale. And I listened! So this video will give you step by step instruction on how to draw actress Kate Beckinsale. Even if you are new to drawing, I guarantee that you will surprise yourself if you follow my steps. So grab your pencil and some drawing paper. If you have your doubts or if you need some motivation, hit the button that says "playlist". Millions of people have viewed my videos and thousands have completed them successfully. I have over 10 years of teaching experience and I am someone who didn't start drawing until I was 20 years old, so I have a different perspective on how to train aspiring artists. Lets Begin!

Step 1: Draw the box that you see. Notice that there are three rectangles inside the box. The reason that there are three rectangles is because a face can often be divided in to three equal segments. Hairline to brow line. Brow line to bottom of nose. Bottom of nose to chin. This formula works perfectly on Kate Beckinsale.
Step 2: Make the U shape that you see for the chin.
Step 3: Make the two shapes for the eye region. Notice that her head is slightly turned so these shapes are shifted slightly towards your left.
Step 4: Make the line at the bottom of the nose. Notice that the septum is lower than the two nostrils. Also, be sure to notice the amount of separation from the eye shapes.
Step 5: Add eyebrows at the top of the eye shapes
Step 6: Look at the image of Kate Beckinsale. Notice that there is a perfect square that is made between the pupils of the eye and the corners of the mouth. Add the four dots that you see. Take some extra time for this step. It is very important for the likeness.
Step 7: Kate is looking down in this image, so her eyes should be banana shaped. Use the dots to guide your placement of the banana shapes. Did I just say that?
Step 8: Add the eyelids above the banana shapes and the lines below.
Step 9: Add the hair shape. Notice how this shape intersects the top rectangle. The height of the hair is more than a third of the face because her head is tilted downwards.
Step 10: Add the top lip. Just connect the dots. The top of the upper lip is like a flattened M shape.
Step 11: I am clearly bananas for Kate because her bottom lip is banana shaped .....the area in between? You guessed it....bananas!
Step 12: Now add some teeth. Here is a close up! If you need help drawing teeth, check out this tutorial or make her a vampire!
Step 13: Kate needs ears. Dont sweat it....Just don't make her Dumbo.
Step 14: is optional. Add her earrings. If you expect to draw this perfectly, curb your enthusiasm. All you need to do is add some squiggley shapes and connect them. Add a banana if it floats your boat!
Step 15: Add a neck.
Step 16: Erase all of the guidelines. In other words, erase what is left from the rectangles. Next, take notice of the link that I just added. After this step we will do shading. Just click this link if you feel that you are messing up. The video that I linked to will teach you an easy way to restart from this point.
Step 17: We will start our shading with the eye region. If you have never cross hatched before, you might want to view the video that I just added in the upper right corner. It is

0:39 It is vine medium charcoal. I broke a stick and used the side to block in the masses for the hair.
0:55 There is a shadow that stretches across his neck. You can slightly see both sides of the neck. Under the lips is very dark.
1:24 Notice that I used a dry paper towel to blend the background (as well as the brush).
1:40- I am now adding pencil hatching directly above the charcoal.
2:01 To me, it is important to hatch over the charcoal, to UNIFY the surface of the drawing.....
HUH? What do you mean?- Charcoal is MATTE (Not shiny) and pencil is SHINY. -Charcoal MOVES and pencil is STABLE (doesn't move)
2:26 I am now using a graphite stick. Graphite sticks are really just BIG PENCILS!!!!!
They come in different tones like drawing pencils (HB, 2B, 4B, 8B, etc.)
2:51- Notice that I am holding my drawing in place with a paper towel in my hand. Try not to let your hands touch the surface of the paper (I always struggle with that.
2:51 I don't like to fasten my drawing with tape because I usually shade my background and the tape leaves white triangles in the corners where the tape was.....Maybe someone could give ME a tip on that!!!!
3:38 Eventually, the hair, the eyes, the area under the mouth and the area under the hands will be the darkest in tone.
4:03 The paper under my hand prevents my hand from touching the paper surface of the drawing.
3:52 Look at the C shape around the eye.
4:03 Also, notice once again, I laid the initial tones down in charcoal, and followed it with pencil hatching. I am using a CHEAP mechanical pencil now because it has thinner graphite, which helps me do detail work.
4:23 I am using the blending stump now.......and getting PISSED OFF!!!!!! The reason I am mad is because I made the mistake to put a piece of cardboard under the surface of my drawing (look at the dots in the background and on his face).....I gave Weezy Chicken Pocks!!!!! Argh! You'll see me remove the cardboard soon.
5:00 The top lip will be darker than the bottom one. Don't forget to leave the highlight over the top lip.
5:13 The shape under the nose (the nostrils) is not one tone. It is a complex shadow. The shadow under the neck is even more complex!
5:58 Our ultimate goal when we shade a drawing is to eliminate lines and maintain the likeness.
6:28- Eyebrows are never one solid tone, they are always darker towards the center of the face. The one exception is when a girl wears make up and darkens her eyebrows in to one tone.
7:00 Notice that I erased most of the original lines from the step by step.
7:50 I am breaking the rules a bit and using a prismacolor black colored pencil for super dark tones.
8:11 At this point, I only used the Prisma Black on one eye. Look at the difference.
8:33 The hat will be lighter than the background and darker than the highlights on the face
9:53 Have some fun with the tattoos! Know that I did not get them perfectly. Just mess around and practice your tones.
11:13 Don't get too complex with the shading of the hand. Focus on rounding the edges ar first. The spaces between the fingers are going to be dark.
11:32 The edges of the arm are going to be dark. DO NOT outline though!!!! Hatch (Cross hatching is adding line next to line next to line) and blend.
12:02 Highlight at the top of each shoulder. Use your kneaded eraser.
12:25 His chain can be carved out with an eraser.
13:09- Create a highlight on the upper tip of the hand.
14:01 To finish, I enhanced a few of the highlights with a white Conti Crayon.

Click on the images to go to the other four parts of this series.

Welcome to the fifth and final installment of my series about drawing the human head from memory. This video will give you a dizzying amount of information on how to draw the head at 3/4 view. Lets start out by observing what happens when the head turns. Notice what little space the face takes up when the head is turned in profile view. Notice that the back of the head becomes more rounded as the face seems to shrink. Lets take a closer look at the face. The green shape connects the two outer corners of the eye and the outer corners of the mouth. Observe what happens to this trapezoid shape as the head turns from side to side. Notice that as the green shape gets smaller, the back of the head becomes more rounded. Now lets look at a silhouette of the face. Be sure to observe what happens to the silhouette of the face at 3/4 view- It is no longer an oval shape. There are indentations and protrusions

In the 3/4 view of the head, there is an indentation by the eye and a protrusion at the cheekbone and mouth. This is due to underlying bone and muscle structures.

Now, lets look at the individual features of the face starting with the eyes. Notice that the eye shifts in shape as the head turns. When the head is in profile... the shape of the eye looks like a Hershey's kiss turned to the side.....as the head turns, it morphs to an almond shape. Since I am teaching you how to draw the eye 3/4 view for this video, we will remember that the 3/4 view eye resembles Pac Mans mouth. Notice that the pupil and iris are more oval like and that there is no white on the inner corner of the eye.

Now lets observe the nose. Notice the relationship between the nose and the cheek. In the 3/4 view, the nose is partially covering the cheek and almost to the edge of the face. Notice how the nostrils shift as the head turns. When you draw a head in 3/4 view, you essentially draw 1 1/2 nostrils.

As for the mouth, take a few seconds to notice the changes. The top lip morphs from a flattened M shape from the front....to a lightning bolt shape in 3/4 view. The bottom lip has a squared section and triangles on each side.

The ears move from being close to the center of the head from profile view, to the edge of the head in front view. In 3/4 view, the ears seem to be at the verge of protruding through the back of the head....but they are not there yet.

Now its time for the demonstration. Since we studied a male head in the first part of the video, lets switch it up and draw a female head. Just follow the directions for each step and also on the shading tutorial.

Step 1: Draw the shape that you see. Notice that it is an egg shape with various protrusions and indentations. This is the most difficult step so take some extra time.

Step 2: Notice the rectangular shape. The four dots are the centers of each eye and the corners of each mouth. Place each dot in the appropriate place. Then, about 2/3 of the way down add a line for the bottom of the nose.
Step 3: Add the eyebrows and ears.
Step 4: Fill in the eye shape. Remember the Pac Man rule. Here is a close up.
Step 5: Complete the nose. Notice the solid line leading from the bottom of the nose to the brow. Also, remember the rule about 1 1/2 nostrils. Here is a close up.
Step 6: Complete the mouth. Overall the mouth looks like a flattened heart shape. For now, put in one solid shape and ignore the rules that you learned before. We will make the rectangular shape on the bottom lip and the lightning bolt shape on the top when we shade.
Shape 7 Add the hair. Be creative, you dont have to re create this hairstyle.

And I promise that I am going to make this VERY EASY for you. What? You dont believe me? Well fine! I guess that you are one of those people that need proof. Click the Little Old Man on the screen to go to a playlist of peoples drawings made from my videos. Oh, so you're back.....And you believe me now. Good! Now you can grab a pencil and some drawing paper. You are about to draw Chris Paul. But first, a quick word from our channel mascot......

Step 1: Draw the shape that you see. Take some extra time to compare the height versus the width.
Step 2: Add the two ovals. Notice their overall size compared to the shape from step 1.
Step 3: Add the nose shape. Notice that it is triangular and the line on the bottom resembles a bird in flight.
Step 4: This step is small, but tricky. It is the upper lip and the moustache. Notice how close the moustache is to the nose and draw both shapes.
Step 5: I just added two shapes, but for now ignore the line in the middle and see the two shapes as one larger shape. The larger shape resembles an ear of corn. After you add the large shape, add the squiggly line in the middle. This line has 8 points pointing downwards.
Step 6: Now add the bottom lip and the soul patch below it. Notice the size difference compared to the top lip.
Step 7: Add the U shape for the bottom of the face.
Step 8: Add the ears and the hair. A tip for the ears is to notice their placement compared to other features of the face.
Step 9: Add the eyebrows. CP3 isnt quite Drake, but his eyebrows are thick.
Step 10: Add the two rainbow shapes under the eyebrows.
Step 11: This is the hardest step. A trick to make it easier is to observe that there is one eye length between each eye. Overall the shape of the eye is almond like and the top of the iris is blocked by the upper eye lid.
Step 12: Add the lines that you see in the ears.

To celebrate the start of the 2009-2010 NBA season, I merged the faces of four of the NBA's biggest stars ( LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Kobe Bryant of the Lakers, Dwayne Wade of the Miami Heat and Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets).

Time Lapse educational video by Merrill Kazanjian

Step 1- Sketch of the structure of the human face.

Step 2- For step two, I am using a computer scissor to cut out the features of the face from various photographs that I have collected. After I cut them out, I digitally juxtapose them over my simple facial sketch. Artists have called this a digital collage or a photo-manipulation, but I like to say that I am Frankensteining the face together.

This process has evolved from a need to work faster. My main area of expertise is oil painting but some of my paintings have taken me over a year to complete. In addition to being an artist, I am also a full time teacher and a new father. So free time is truly a luxury; I had to come up with a creative way to do my work and this is one of several techniques that I use.

In my opinion, there is no artistic medium that can compete with the surface beauty of an oil painting. Hand made items will always be more beautiful than manufactured ones. I have seen a lot of Digital art that is mechanical and inorganic. But making digital art is a much faster process than making traditional art. I have a lot to say as an artist and not a lot of time to say it, so, for this piece, I am using this digital collage as an underpainting for what I will do later.


Step 3- In Step Three, I am lightening the areas that I plan to rework.

Step 4- For step four, print at maximum dpi and on the thickest paper that you can fit through your printer

Step 5- For step five we will cover the traditional part of tradigital- I am using prismacolor (prisma) pencils and illustration markers and decocolor paint markers. Prismacolor sells great colored pencils. Their covering power is very impressive. Their marks lie somewhere between translucent and opaque. They can be used to mimic scumbling and glazing. In order to glaze mix the color pencil with the prisma marker blender. Decocolor markers have a type of paint inside which is very similar to acrylic paint and has a similar covering power to acrylic paint. Whenever I need to make opaque marks, I use the decocolor markers.

Years ago, I would have considered a method such as this, cheating. I no longer feel that way because art is so much more than just drawing. Drawing is a way for an artist to communicate but it is not the only means that an artist could use to communicate. I feel that while this method is unconventional, it has allowed me to work faster and leave a human fingerprint on the artwork that I produce. The digital collage allows me to Frankenstein interesting facial features and come up with new imagery in a manner similar to the cutouts of Pablo Picasso and Romare Bearden.

I have made bodies in a very similar manner. It can be even more fun to digitally collage a body together. After I finish making a character, I like to use the character multiple times. Since I took my break from oil painting, exactly a year ago, in December 2007, I have made over 500 different characters. My characters are saved as digital files and are used multiple times in my artistic compositions. A sample of my latest work is at the end of this video. Thank you so much for watching!
