Hi Guys

Well, this week’s tutorial made me FEEL old while drawing it. It’s quite strange drawing a young and old version of people.

I did two males and one female. The difference between guys and girls is that you can really go crazy with how a guy ages over time. It’s a lot trickier with women because they sort of have to age more majestically. So they have softer wrinkles that aren’t so pronounced.

Have a close look at the young versions of all the characters and their older versions next to them. What changes? The shape of the face is still there, the nose, eyes etc. All the key features. They are all there with a touch of sagginess.

If you are drawing old people and you’re not sure where to put the wrinkles, just start with the basics. These are under the eyes, the forehead and around the mouth.

You could even lightly draw the young version, and draw the older version over it.

As always experiment and see what you come up with!
