Portrait drawing requires a fairly high skill set of both anatomical knowledge and drawing technique.
The first step in drawing a portrait is to first sketch in the outside shape of the head. The term for this is called both the contour and striking the arabesque. I prefer striking the arabesque as it implies a sense of rhythm and grace (terminology expresses intent).
This initial skill does require training and practice and can be acquired in a reasonably short period of time.
Once the arabesque is established correctly in terms of shape and proportion you can then place the major landmarks of the facial arena. These are the browridge, the base of the nose and the facial angle (or median line of the face).
There are now two paths to choose from: the tonal or the linear. Each has its own approaches: the tonal is an additive/subtractive process of constructing form (plasticity); the linear is an expressive/analytical endeavor.
An excellent site that I refer my students to who want a good foundation in portrait drawing is http://www.artacademy.com. This site offers a wide array of free, college level portrait drawing lessons.

Where is a good website you can go to learn how to draw a Comanche Indian?
Photographs of genuine Comanche (Nemene) lodges show that the majority were completely undecorated, except for being blackened at the top by smoke from the central fire. This is true of most Plains tribes - decorated tipis were extremely rare (perhaps accounting for less than 5 in every 100) and signified the lodge of a powerful chief or medicine man, or the holder of a sacred pipe or medicine bundle.
For that reason there is almost no detailed information on the Internet about Comanche tipi decoration, and very little published in books. The artist and explorer George Catlin painted a single picture showing a painted Comanche tipi - this was certainly the home of the keeper of a sacred pipe, since one is featured in the painted design (see link below).
If you want to draw an accurate picture of a genuine and typical Comanche tipi, then make it perfectly plain and undecorated apart from blackening around the top of the cover to represent smoke staining.

Will a sharpie come out of a T-shirt in the washing machine?
Use ALCOHOL to remove Sharpie. The sooner the better. The alcohol will spread the ink, so focus on removing the bulk of the ink in the area it is located. It is usually beneficial to backup the stained area with a dry cotton ball then use another cotton ball soaked with alcohol to wash the ink. As mentioned, this will spread the ink so depending on how well you perform this process will determine if you will need to wash the entire garment in alcohol. (Rubber gloves may be in order since the alcohol will also dry your fingers)

The term abstract refers to an artist making an abstraction of something in the real world. Often people confuse abstract with non-representational art (an image that is not representative of anything in the real world). The most recognized are works by Picasso, but there are other methods of creating abstract images. Art comes in many mediums, drawing is only one.

What is meant by over dimensioning a sketch?
You are putting too many dimensions on it. For example, if there is a L shaped sketch and you dimension from the bottom of the L to just above the horizontal part, and then you dimension the vertical part from the end point of the last dimension you'd be okay. But, if you dimensioned both of those lengths and then the total length you would be over dimensioning the sketch.

What pencil is the best for drawing?
aletter & number like (4h) is a light lead & a (6b) is a darker lead As used in shadowing. choose a pencil with light lead like a 4H. use this so if you don't like something you started drawing than you can erase it easier if you use a pencil like a 6b erasing this will show .
I start with a light lead pencil drawing lightly so when I get it to point that I can say yes this is right than I use a darker lead to bring it out. If you are trying to do light shadow work on your picture use the side of you pencil lead just scribbling back & fourth not hard but lightly now take your finger & rub it over the scribbling you will see it fill in. also get a good eraser. a spongy eraser is a bad eraser need a harder rubber eraser .
