Thanks Wendy!Tools:. (for lifting graphite in layers).

Plastic Eraser (for erasing things completely).Try to sketch very lightly so you can easily erase mistakes as you go along.

Try to keep your construction lines as light as possible. If you can’t draw a good circle, don’t worry!

Trace a round object such as a cup or a roll of duct tape.Step 2: Draw a Line for the ChinTo find out where to draw the chin, use your ruler or pencil and finger to measure half of the circle’s diameter (from the bottom of the circle to the horizontal line), then transfer your measurement to the bottom of the circle and draw a line for the chin.Step 3: Draw the Cheeks and JawlineDraw the cheeks and jawline by connecting chin to the circle. Don’t forget to keep your lines light. We’re going to give the face more definition later.

The lighter your lines are, the easier it will be to erase and make changes.Important: Before we move onto the next step, erase the horizontal line inside of the circle. Step 4: Draw Facial Construction LinesThrough the center of the head, draw a vertical and horizontal line.Split the bottom section of the face in half and then in half again.Do the same thing for the top section of the face.These lines are for the eyes, nose, lips and hair.Step 5: Draw the Eyes and EyebrowsOn the line labelled eyes, split the face into 5 equal sections. Make sure you take the entire width of the head into account.Note: Thanks to Pranab Mahajan for reminding me to add this little detail – If you find it difficult to split the face into 5 equal sections, measure the width of the head using a ruler and divide your number by 5.Example: If the widest part of the head is 6cm, divide it by 5 to get 1.2cm. Then split the head into sections of 1.2cm each.Draw your eyes in the appropriate spaces.

Draw a line coming down from the corner of each eye and stopping at the line labelled “nose”.Let’s draw the nose within these boundaries.

To give his hair more volume, draw your outlines further away from the head, but make sure the distance is somewhat consistent or else the head shape may look unrealistic. Step 9: Draw the EarsRoughly between the eyes and nose, draw the.Step 10: Complete His FaceGive the cheeks, jawline and chin some more definition. I gave him a sharp jawline with a dimpled chin.

To make someone look skinnier, you can draw some subtle lines to shape the cheeks.Finally, give him a thick neck and add the shoulders as well.I erased the construction lines to show you his face without obtructions. You can keep these construction lines to aid you at the end of this tutorial when we swap out facial features to transform our characters!

How to Draw a Female Face EasyStep 1: Draw a CircleSame thing here – draw a circle with a line going through the center vertically and horizontally.Step 2: Find Out Where to Draw the ChinMeasure half the circle’s diameter and add it to the bottom to get the chin, except THIS time, draw the chin slightly shorter.Step 3: Draw the Cheeks, Jaw and ChinFor females, I like to draw a narrow face with a narrow jaw. For the chin, taper your lines inward so the chin is more narrow than compared to the male.

Draw your nose a little higher than the ‘nose line’ for a medium length.For a more feminine face, draw a narrow nose using soft lines that are not too angular/sharp. For the nose-bridge, draw a smooth curve that’s not too dark.Step 7: Draw the MouthCreate your boundary lines coming down from the center of each eye.Draw your directly below the nose and resting on the line labelled “lips”.For a medium length mouth, draw it well within the boundary lines. Rest the bottom lip on the line labelled “lips”.Step 8: Draw the EarsDraw the roughly in between the eye and nose line.Step 9: Draw the HairFemales tend to have softer, more rounded hairlines compared to males.

Draw a smooth line around the forehead without making many sharp angles. Make sure to keep your lines fairly light as well.Once you finished the hairline, draw the rest of the hair.

A square chin can make your drawing look a lot more masculine (not that there’s anything wrong with that!).To finish it off, give her a narrow neck compared to his.

After practicing and doing other online and book study for drawing on & off for about 5 years and still struggling this was exactly what I needed.

Your tutorial was so simple & easy to understand and it gave me immediate improved results. I am forgetting all the other tutorials out there and sticking with you. This was the first tutorial I did of yours and loved it. I will be doing your other tutorials on the eyes, nose, mouth then signing up for the shading tutorials. Thanks again and keep up the great work!!! Thank you, this looks great! My hobby is cardmaking, and as I can’t draw I use stamps (also it’s a lot faster – I love playing with ink).

I have a rather large stamp of a young man, it’s a great stamp. And then my interest for drawing myself surfaced again I wanted to make him look older.

Like a real experienced traveller. (It’s the Sheena Douglass Time Traveller Steampunk Man in case you’re wondering). He looked to neat to be a traveller. I came a way with colouring but not good enough.

And then I tried drawing myself. Figured I’d start with the eyes, and they were not that hard to draw (or rather, with limited practice the result looks ok when I follow your tutorial! So with more practice). Still need to continue This tutorial gives me motivation again to keep going.If you’re out of ideas for tutorials (and if you don’t have it yet, didn’t check again but don’t remember having seen it on the site), then maybe a “roughening” tutorial? – aging, some bruises or dirt, paint, scars maybe(Probably a more advanced drawing tutorial?).

Love that you share this so openly.You definitely deserve support.
