Hello everyone!

Today I’m going to share some helpful tips, or you can say a step-by-step guide, on how to draw a side profile.

In this guide, I will explain the basic structure, the correct placement of facial features, and some small tricks that can make your side profile look more natural and balanced. Whether you are a beginner or someone who wants to improve their drawing skills, these tips can really help you understand the process better.”✨️🎀

We will start by drawing some basic shapes and guidelines to build the face

Although Everyone’s face is unique in its own way, so feel free to adjust the guidelines according to the look you want.

First, build the basic structure of the side profile like this

You can use CSP Asset 3D figures to help draw a side profile more easily

Drag the 3D figure onto the canvas and adjust it according to the side profile you want.”

FACIAL FEATURES

You can also change the facial features of the 3D figure. Simply click on the facial features option to adjust them. For example, you can make the nose longer or shorter and modify other facial features as well.”

LIGHT SOURCE

This is one of the best features for adjusting the lighting of the figure. By clicking on the light source option, you can control where the light is coming from and adjust it according to your needs.”

Use a darker tone in areas where the shadow is stronger, and a lighter tone in areas where the light is stronger.”

Now let’s start the coloring part.

For beginners, using a 3D model from CSP Assets can be very helpful. It helps you understand:

 

Light source

Face proportions

Skin color palette

 

From the model, you can clearly see where the light hits the face and where shadows appear.

 

You’ll understand this much better by observing the reference image provided.

BASE COLOUR

To set the base color”, I start with a single base color and darken it slightly. This simple method works well for me every time.”

Use a Blend Brush to softly mix the colors together.

 

Then use a Blur Blend Brush to smooth the transitions and finish the blending.

And that’s it! I hope these steps help you draw and color a side profile more easily.”🎨❤️
