A portrait is a painting, photograph, sculpture, or other artistic representation of a person, in which the face and its expression is predominant. The intent is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the person. For this reason, in photography a portrait is generally not a snapshot, but a composed image of a person in a still position. A portrait often shows a person looking directly at the painter or photographer, in order to most successfully engage the subject with the viewer.

Proportions and how to start a portrait?
Q. In my opinion, I am a good artist. My favorite things to draw are people/portraits, but I'll only get a good portrait once in a while. I really want to know the best way to start off a portrait and how to get the proportions as accurate as possible, that won't require a grid or anything like that.

A. If you enjoy drawing people/portraits that's already 90% accomplishment! Most people find drawing faces really hard and so shy away from it. I too love drawing faces/portraits and here is how I go about it: I start off studying the photo for a while before I even pick up my SHARP 4h pencil! I then map out the shape of the head very lightly, positioning it so that there's a good amount of space from the top of the page to the top of the head. I start by drawing the eye shapes very lightly and keep in mind that there is enough space between the eyes to fit in another eye! The yes are also positioned right in the middle of the face! Next I draw the ears, the top of the ears are inline with the top of the eyes and you can fit two more eyes… [cont.]

A. Depends on the size you want the portrait. Obviously if you want a full colour picture that covers your entire back in photo-realistic detail it will cost more than a really small outline only portrait done on your bicep. For a really basic portrait on your bicep maybe 50 and a full colour one on your back you could pay over 2500. The reputation of the shop and location are a big factor on price - a shop in Knightsbridge area of London where famous celebrities get tattoos done on TV would cost at least 3 times more than one on a council estate in Hull. 95% of tattooists charge by the hour and typical rates are 40 to 100 per hour. If you give more details on the size and complexity of the piece I could give a vague estimate of… [cont.]
