Drawing Realism pt.1

Okay I've been having some people ask me on tips to help them draw realism. So here's a tutorial that I hope helps someone in drawing realism. <br />
<br />
First you want to get the basic shape and pose of the person you're going to be drawing. To do this you'd want to segement the body by lightly sketching the basic shape of the bodypart (upper arm, lower arm, waist, neck, head, etc.). On the head you want to place the lines for the center of the head the placement of the eyes, lips, and I personnally like to also put a line for the bottom of the nose. Another thing that I prefer to do is also lightly sketch the outline of the hair.<br />
<br />
Next you want to lightly begin to draw out the details of the person, begin to draw the clothes and any other details.<br />
<br />
Then you put a darker line to give you a reference for the next step which is shading.<br />
<br />
A few things to remember when doing realism you don't want straight lines and sharp angles on the human body all of your detail work comes in the shading or coloring part of the process. Also this is only the way how I do realism so experiament on your own and find the way that best works for you cause someone else's way might not work best for you.
