Portrait Drawing Types
Pencil portrait drawings of children.
Pencil drawings of children can make for some of the most beautiful portraits. reflecting the innocence and purity of children is what makes this type of drawing so special. Every child has that one look that evokes such joy to the parent or relative, maybe a cheeky smile or a look of pure mischief, capturing this perfectly can make the portrait pure magic.
Pencil drawings of women
Women naturally have a more photogenic appearance and can make for excellent models when it comes to pencil portrait reference.
A lot of women used in pencil portraiture are placed in a setting that evokes a certain mood or atmosphere. A woman draped in a cotton sheet or snuggled under a duvet can give a very feminine, innocent appearance.
In history a lot of women portraits are very formal, in quite a regal setting, sterotypical types of drawings and painting done for queens and princesses.
Nowadays, a lot of people favour the more relaxed look for pencil portraits of women. Poses of women sat smiling in a relaxed setting or laughing in a very relaxed fun way. These types of pencil portraits are favoured mainly due to their association with the scenario of the original photograph used for the reference of the portrait drawing.
Portrait drawings of men
Men are more often than not shown in a more stern light within pencil portrait drawings. A reflection of their strength and masculinity is often what is wanted to be achieved in the overall drawing.
Even today, this type of pose is still favoured for men, anything more relaxed or slightly off the wall is seen as unusual and unpopular.
Drawings of men are more often than not done in a drawing combining both a man and a woman in a wedding drawing or romantic pose, reflecting an air of love and romanticism.
