How to Draw Faces
METHOD-1: Without Guidance Lines
We will draw a female face using this method.
Step-1:
First draw a oval shape like an inverted egg to give the shape of her face. The two lines below will comprise her neck.
Now let’s start to draw the hairs. Start from the top of the head and finish off around the chin.
Add the inner part of the hair that will be in front of her face.
Draw hairs on the other side of her head.
Now start drawing her curly braid. Start with few flat S shaped lines on one side, then curved line on the other side.
Add her eyes close to the middle of her face. Add the eyebrows.
Add the nose and mouth.
Finish off the drawing by adding more curved lines in her hair and braid. Make the inside of her eye and mouth darker. It’s done.
METHOD-2:
With Guidance Lines
––––––––
In this example, I will draw a man’s face using guidance lines.
Draw a vertical oval shape that will be the head. Draw three horizontal guidance lines that will place the eyes, nose and mouth respectively. Draw a vertical line in the middle.
Place the eyes, nose and mouth onto the lines.
Add facial features more precisely. Gently draw eyebrows and ears.
Draw hairs. Use simple stokes of the pencil to complete the facial contours. Use darker tints to create the shadows.
Give finishing touches by sketching with pencil. Try to make the face more realistic.
