More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Carrie Stuart Parks is a trained fine artist and a nationally known forensic artist. With this book, she'll teach artists and non-artists of all ages how to draw incredibly accurate and realistic REAL faces, both self-portraits and portraits of others. Her method for teaching begins with 18 helpful tools to train minds how to see. Many of these are well known and established tools for drawing, but she explains to readers how to use them, where to use them, and why to use them. The core of the book is spent teaching how to lay out the face, placing facial features, and making it look "real." There are illustrations throughout, including before and after work, some of which were completed by her students.
About the Author
Carrie Stuart Parks is the author of Composite Art without Artistic Talent, Seasons of My Heart. Her artwork is featured in numerous corporate and private collections.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Satisfactory,
By Hannah (U.K) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Secrets to Drawing Realistic Faces (Paperback)
This book did help me start off in drawing reallistic portraits...but only upto a bigginer level. Although tis book does give good information on scale and on the individual features of the face like the mouth...the skin doesn't have a good texture and a lot of the blending was rushed making the skiin 'liney' instead of smooth. There is a lot of wrong information like the very small chapter on drawing hair; she advises to draw it strand by strand in a big liney scribble making the hair unrealistic contrary Mike Sibley's approach to drawing it, an expert on fur and hair. although some of the drawings are pretty good, i would only recommend this book to absolute begginners of reallistic drawing.

Only for drawing photographs,

This review is from: Secrets to Drawing Realistic Faces (Paperback)
The scope of this book is very narrow, concentrating almost entirely on how to get a likeness in _pencil_ from _photographs_ . Very little of it will help you with drawing portraits from life, or working in other media. Imagine that the title is "how to draw realistic faces _from photographs_", and make your descision on those grounds.

Excellent essential,
By Emily, "student" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Secrets to Drawing Realistic Faces (Paperback)
I found this book a real must have for drawing faces, real or imaginary. within one hour you can draw perfect eyes, and not just ones from photographs. theres lots of very useful information in an easy to read and uncomplicated style- such as not to 'frame' teeth, to avoid harsh lines but to shade to them, to capture the light going through the cornea of the eye, how to draw a nose etc. I found it excellent.
