This is the most fun way of drawing the people you know, you might want to practice a few different faces first so you can get it down. There are plenty of online tutorials that will break down the process that goes into it. After you’ve got the hang of it why not try it with the people you know.
Silhouette
So I’m assuming most of you know what a silhouette is, for those of you who are not sure it is basically the outline of something that it completely colored in black. This is a really fun way to draw something if you have never tried it before or if you are looking for things to draw when bored. You can try outlining someone’s shadow and shading from there.
Eye Sketch
They say the eyes are the windows to our souls so why not try drawing one? They are after all the most interesting part of someone’s face. It may take you a few goes to get a realistic one but once you do the result is well worth it.
These are just a few of many things to draw when bored, you can find inspiration from the things around you or just get a pen and paper and see what your hands create. You don’t have to be born with the natural talent to draw, anyone can do it and it’s an inexpensive way to entertain yourself. You never know what your mind will come up with!
