If you want to
make a pencil portrait of any celebrity, or your friend, take it for granted
that in portrait drawing, the lining work plays a vital role. It places a
foundation stone for the entire art piece. In this portrait of Kidman, we
can see the superb lining work is executed. It is also a masterly done work
of pencil shading. You send an artistic look at the eyes of the portrait;
you would see how the artist has put life into the eyes. It is affected by
doing the shading work in and around the eyes and the eyebrows. A touch of
pencil shading at the hair-style of the Holywood celebrity; and the entire
drawing of Kidman has become looking three-dimensional.
How to Make a Pencil Portrait By Pencil Lining
THE ART In pencil portrait, the personality of the model is done with the delicate touches and strokes of the pencil tip. A master artist does this. On looking at this portrait, the neat and clean image of Nicole would catch our mind. The smile on their lips, the proper position of her eyes, and the curls of her hair: are the aspects that have made Nicole Kidman so popular.
Nicole has acted and worked as an actress, model, and singer. "I'm not sure what the future holds but I do know that I'm
going to be positive and not wake up feeling desperate. As my dad said 'Nic, it
is what it is, it's not what it should have been, not what it could have been,
it is what it is.' " This is what Nicole Kidman believes about her own life. She says so when any pressman asks her about her life. Even after her working in several films and continuously remaining in the spotlight within print media and
Television, Nicole’s spirited attitude towards life is still so fresh and
lively.

Portrait Making by line-drawing If you want to make a portrait only by drawing lines with the
tip of your pencil, it would be a nice exercise.
Drawing is the medium that enables us to create a feel of three-dimensional
look on two-dimensional support like paper and canvas. While creating a pencil
drawing, say a portrait of a person, we use the techniques of either line
drawing or value drawing. In value drawing, we do not draw any specific line,
but we follow the pattern of the light falling on the face and other parts.
Were you to make a pencil portrait with the help of drawing the lines only, we should have a very close relationship with the tip of the pencil; it means you must have a good experience doing the same. Look at the above
portrait. The artist has used, mainly, the tip of the pencil here. The
shading work is limited to the eyes and very tiny parts of the face. In this
portrait work, the artist Roque Hernández Durán has drawn the
curves of the hair very artistically.
In the case where you are to draw the cartoons, the portraits are done by lining only. If you need to draw a caricature or a cartoon, mere lining work would suit you. The reason behind it is that such works are to be done within the deadlines. For a professional artist,
drawing a cartoon with the help of a lining could be a matter of minutes. Try it. You would know how the lining work gives you the pleasure of drawing.
