Learning Skill #1 - Face Sketching Exercise 2

HOW TO DRAW A FACE

by Stephanie Valentin

Step 1

Draw a circle

Draw an egg

 
Step 2

Draw a vertical line in the middle of the

egg

Draw an horizontal line in the middle of

the egg

Draw the eyes on this line - The distance

between the two eyes is one eye

Step 3

Draw the "chin line" at the bottom of the egg

Draw the "nose line" at the bottom of the

circle.

Draw  the "eyebrow line"  : the distance

between chin and nose is the same than

nose and eyebrows

Draw 2 vertical lines to define the width

of the nose which is the same as the width

of an eye.

Then you can draw eyebrows and nose.

Step 4

Divide the distance between nose and chin

in four equal parts

You can draw the mouth between the

second and the third lines.

 Step 5

Draw  the shape of the face.

Draw the ears between the eyebrows line and the base of the nose.

Draw the hair

Each face is different then you will have to adapt this proportions to your model.
