How to Draw a Human Face Easy Step by Step TUTORIAL

Many RFA readers have requested me to write a tutorial on how to draw faces, so here it is!

To make it like shooting fish in a barrel to digest, I split the tutorial up into three parts: How to depict a face from the front, side and 3/4 view. This is office 1 of 3. I came up with the original methods in these 3 tutorials by measuring over a dozen adult faces, so each tutorial carries over the same measuring techniques. Drawing faces should be like shooting fish in a barrel as pie afterwards you get the proportions down.

This beginners' stride by stride tutorial is for a bones male face. The proportions are unlike for females.

Note: Remember to use a blunt HB pencil for these steps. I used a 4B and so y'all tin clearly see what I'm doing. Remember, the darker you lot go and the harder you press, the more difficult it will be to erase your under-layers/guidelines.

Tools:

• HB Pencil
• Ruler
• Sakura Electronic Eraser
• Kneaded Eraser
• Canson Recycled Sketch Paper

Learn How to Draw a Realistic Face

Stride 1: Showtime with a circle

Depict a large circumvolve and make a horizontal line beneath it for the chin. Then sketch the jawline. Draw a vertical line down the eye of the face and make sure both sides of the face are symmetrical.

Step 2: Describe guidelines on the face

At that place are ii ways to do this footstep: Ruler or no ruler. I highly recommend using the ruler method for the first couple of faces you lot draw. Why? Considering doing this step without it can throw your proportions off like crazy. Especially if you have trouble locating the 'center' of an object with your optics. The no ruler method requires you to split multiple sections of the confront in one-half and and so in half again.

Ruler Method: Make a ruler beside your drawing that is the same peak. The ruler should be marked so in that location are 8 equal spaces. Ever offset with the center line.
Describe faint lines through the face on the markings labelled Middle LINE, ii, 3, A, and C. As you go used to this, you won't need to draw the ruler on the side.

No Ruler Method: Without the ruler, I draw lines in this guild: CENTER LINE, 2, 3, B, A, C (B is included considering it's easier to suspension the forehead section in half first, especially when yous're cartoon freehand). This is the method I use to draw heads all the fourth dimension.

Super SIMPLE Method: If it's notwithstanding a lilliputian disruptive, check out my elementary method here. It's also paired with a video so you tin encounter how I do it!

Step iii: Depict optics in the right spot

On the face, mark the center line with iv ticks spread every bit autonomously. The optics will sit roughly on this line. Don't be agape to movement slightly above or below the line, since optics are usually slanted. If yous desire to draw more mysterious manly optics, click here.

Step 4: Draw a proportionate nose

Extend the 2 lines where the inner corners of each center are located. These guidelines will decide the nose'due south width. Now that we have a box, it's time to draw the olfactory organ.

Starting time with a circle, resting it anywhere between line 1 and ii. You lot can give your male character a more chiseled appearance by drawing the nose using very angular shapes.

Stride five: Add the eyebrows

Extend the olfactory organ'south span past the eyelids to define the brow bone (this stride is optional). These lines should be very light!
Using a 4B pencil, depict the eyebrows along the brow bone. Facial features that tin can accentuate masculinity are thick bushy eyebrows!

Step half-dozen: Use a triangle shape to describe lips

Draw a vertical line downwardly the center of each eye. This will marking the lips' outer boundary. Click hither for my lips tutorial. If you've already read it, place your triangle in the small box under the olfactory organ to starting time. If yous drew the olfactory organ well above line ii, extend the triangle then the tip touches the olfactory organ.

Step 7: Add the ears

The Heart Line and Line 2 mark the general boundaries for each ear.

Step 8: Draw the hair

Describe the upper hairline somewhere in between line A and B. It's up to you how large you want the brow to be. To draw a receding hairline, go higher up line A. When you lot're drawing a man's face, bring in hair from the sides of the head to create a solid and visible looking hairline.
