Sam Giles Portraiture Sketching Practice Always Makes Perfect This short publication of 9 portrait sketches is meant to both encourage and teach that practice makes perfect. Each sketch, descending from the top, follows my progress in trying to perfect and better my technique through identifying mistakes in the previous drawing. Whilst of course there is always more to be done, these 9 sketches should neatly show how you can gradually improve through the simple theory of practice, judge, and practice some more with the aim of improving as much as you can. I hope you enjoy this short collection, above all it is meant to be a gradual progression from heavy shading and outlining to a more gentle and subtle use of shading to distinguish features and outlines as well as increase the realism of each piece. By all means if you should have any questions or would like to see more of my work, either later or earlier pieces, please do let me know via my website. I am always keen to reply as soon as possible.
