Izismile team has recently received the following letter from one of our visitors:
“Hi, I'm from the Netherlands and my name is Wiebe de Leijer. I started portrait drawing 6 years ago when I was 16 years old and only made 50 drawings in around 183 hours over that period of time. It's not necessary to take classes, everyone can learn to draw portraits by themselves by just a little bit of practice and lots of patience.”
Here are several portraits drawn by Wiebe, sorted from the earliest to the latest so as to show how his skill has been progressing.
Thank you Wiebe for sharing your works and good luck with your future drawings!

I have to say that this:"It's not necessary to take classes, everyone can learn to draw portraits by themselves by just a little bit of practice and lots of patience.” isn't exactly true though..
I could never learn to draw this well..
anybody complains, try better.
I'm not a professional portrait artist. I just thought it would be nice to show the progress someone can make by practicing and motivate people to try it for themselves. I also wanted to show the speed drawing video of John Lennon because I thought it would be interesting for visitors to see.
I know there are people who can draw portraits much better than I can. I only can dream to achieve the skills they have. But I honestly think I deserve a little bit better than the crappy comment you gave me.
The 6 years time period isn't relevant here I think. I only did 183 hours of drawing. If I had the time I could do that in 2 months so to speak. ;)
But thank you for your comment!
you're talented actually. yes you could say anyone can draw, but not this good. and to think it's self taught.. i'm a painting major and i have classmates that is still not good even after graduating ;)
anywho, since you now know the technique of creating a face, why not practicing drawing the whole body to expand your skills? it's much more fun actually!
99.9% of the time, people's opinions on your work are irrelevant. unless the 'right' people happen to be impressed. mainly it comes down to two things- is it making you happy? and is it making you money?
