Drawing in pencil by Charlotte Brontë, 1845,

About the work of an actor or an actress, the celebrity actress Meryl Streep said once: Giving voice to characters that have no other voice-that is the great worth of what we do.

Yes, they do a valuable service to giving voice to the characters which sometimes remain only on the pages of history. that is why we love our actors and actresses. The actors and actresses of Hollywood and Bollywood attract every cine-lovers attention. Every cine-goer would love to see his or her favourite star. Thus the pencil artists would get a good buyers for the portraits of film personalities. These portraits get more viewer-ship, too, as they carry a celebrity element with the same.

Here are some pencil portraits. Actors and celebrities from all fields. All the portraits are done with the help of a pencil. An artist who wants to learn to draw portraits would get much scope for seeing how these successful artists have done their artworks.

How to Draw Pencil Portraits:    When we took a pencil in our hand the first thought we get in our mind is to try a portrait drawing of our know person. The person may be our beloved, a beautiful partner, a spouse or a little child. Many young artists desire to draw their parents and teachers they love most. But doing a portrait with a pencil is not so easy, especially when you are in the budding stage of your artistic life.

Before going to start a portrait drawing of a person, an artist would examine how it is done by others. We have vast data of information regarding how to draw faces and human bodies. We can see such work in achieves of an old art gallery. If we want to know how the artists of the whole world are doing this task of portrait making, we should search for it on the internet. The following passages narrate how certain types of portraits can be done with pencils. 

Portraits of Celebrities:  Drawing the faces of Celebrities have always remained a favourite subject for artists. It is because such portraits attract the immediate attention of people. We love to draw the faces of our heroes like George Washington and Mahatma Gandhi. We also love to see the beautiful faces of Hollywood stars like Julia Roberts and Sean Connery. But while drawing these celebrities, an artist has to be more alert, because a small wrong dash here or a tiny mistake there could make or break your whole portrait drawing. The viewers know their exact faces due to celebrity status.

Portraits of  Beautiful Women

No artist would miss drawing a woman or a young girl if she approaches him or her to be portrayed. Artists drawing women on their art papers would ensure that the aspects of beauty and proportion of various parts of the face are important while drawing the face of a woman. If an artist is making a portrait of a woman, then his or her task would become more technical. 

Portraits of Children

Here the artist would face all types of challenges. It is because a small child of two or three years old would be very charming and beautiful, but the baby would not be cooperating with the artist. But the artist can take the help of photographs.

Line Drawing or Value Drawing

An artist would make a portrait by using two types of techniques: line drawing and value drawing. If it is done with the help of value drawing the artists will have to be much more careful about falling off the light on the face of the person being portrayed, as under this technique the shades would decide the different areas and not the lines.

Portraits of the Celebrities of the World: Some people have done much good for the human race and have sacrificed their lives for us. We call them great men and women or celebrities. But they are darling of ours. We love them; we respect them, and we worship many of them. Here are portraits of some of such dignitaries. these virtuous sons and daughters of the human race have served their mother earth very well, so we all remember them.
