This guide will teach you everything you need to know to get started, from the basics of pencil drawing to the specific techniques you need to capture the likeness of a famous person.

So whether you're a complete beginner or you have some experience with drawing, you can follow along with this guide to learn how to draw portraits of famous people in pencil.

The Basics Of Pencil Drawing

Before we start learning how to draw portraits, it's important to understand the basics of pencil drawing.

Here are a few things to keep in mind:

• Use a sharp pencil. A dull pencil will not give you the precision you need to create detailed drawings.
• Vary your pencil pressure. The harder you press, the darker the line you will create. You can use this to your advantage to create different effects in your drawings.
• Use a light touch. When you're drawing, it's important to use a light touch. This will help you to avoid smudging your drawing and will also give you more control over your lines.
• Be patient. Pencil drawing takes time and practice. Don't get discouraged if you don't get the hang of it right away. Just keep practicing and you will eventually improve.

How To Draw Portraits Of Famous People

Now that you know the basics of pencil drawing, let's learn how to draw portraits of famous people.

The first step is to choose a reference photo.

This photo should be of good quality and should clearly show the features of the person you want to draw.

Once you have chosen a reference photo, the next step is to start sketching.

Begin by lightly sketching in the basic shapes of the face.

Once you have the basic shapes sketched in, you can start adding details.

Start by drawing the eyes, nose, and mouth.

Then, add in the hair, eyebrows, and other facial features.

As you add details, be sure to pay attention to the proportions of the face.

Make sure that the eyes are the same size and that the nose is in the center of the face.

Once you have added all of the details, the next step is to start shading.

Shading will help to give your drawing depth and realism.

To shade, use a soft pencil and start by lightly shading in the darkest areas of the face.

Then, gradually blend the shading into the lighter areas.

As you shade, be sure to pay attention to the direction of the light.

This will help you to create realistic shadows.

Once you have finished shading, your portrait is complete.

You can now frame it and hang it on your wall.

I hope this guide has helped you to learn how to draw portraits of famous people in pencil.

Just remember to be patient and practice regularly, and you will eventually be able to create beautiful and realistic portraits.
