First impression that comes to anyone's mind about portrait sketching is that it takes only talent to do it and it is very difficult. Well, I don't agree to that. It takes only basic skills of a fourth grade kid. What I'm trying to tell you is that you know how to draw square, circles, parallel lines and it is more than enough. You should first take that false perception that its very difficult out of your head and instead hold a sharpened pencil in hand and begin sketching. It's a nice beginning to your art journey that you have chosen this art guide. Once you start sketching, trust me, you'll loose track of time, you'll forget your worries, you'll forget your past & your future where in the present starts mattering to you the most and you will enter that zone where you get disconnected from the rest of the world. Time will just drift away with each stroke of your pencil, lines will intersect, turn around and form beautiful pictures. The more you do it, the more confident you get and the more you enjoy. I'm saying this because this hindrance is a very big barrier to anyone when it comes to starting anything new. When we pay attention to what opinions others have, we loose the fun part of doing anything what we like to. Trust me, you are learning this for the sake of learning and not to impress others. Once you have made your motive clear, we'll now begin to focus on the progress of our art journey.
