Easy tutorial with step-by-step instructions
In this tutorial you will learn how to easily draw a basic female face with the right proportions step-by-step. In the past few years a lot of people have asked me to write a tutorial about facial proportions. When I asked you guys on Instagram what your greatest struggle is, the answer that came up the most was: “proportions”. “The eyes always look different” and “I never get the nose right” were the things you complained about. Well, here I want to show you an easy solution to this problem...
1. Draw a circle
We’re going to begin by drawing a circle. Don’t worry about being perfect at this point. You can refine everything later. NOTE: Draw everything very lightlywith an H or HB pencil, because we have to erase the guidelines later. We don’t want any lines dividing up our face on the final portrait.
2. Cut off the sides
The next thing you need to do is slice offthe sides of the circle. Your sketch should look something like this:
3. Draw six equal squares
Next, add a horizontal lineat the bottom of the circle. Then, I want you to divide the circle in half vertically. Now add another horizontal line above the bottom line. You should place the line so that it creates two equal squares. Repeat this one more time on the top and one more time at the bottom to create6 equal squares. You can measure the distances for every square but you can also draw by eye. The squares don’t have to be perfect. Remember, you’re just drawing rough guidelines.
As promised at the beginning, I also want to show you that these guidelines don’t apply to every face. Have a look at this photo of me for example. My face is thinner, and also the space between my eyes is smaller than in the portrait sketch. Naturally my mouth is a lot wider because I’m smiling. This tutorial is designed to give you a better under...
- Surprised Face. When you feel surprised, what happens to your face? Your eyebrows raise and your eyes and mouth grow large and round, just like the boy in this picture.
- Black Girl. This young woman is looking fabulous with her trendy hairstyle, hoop earrings, lipstick, and turtleneck sweater.
- Easy Lisa Simpson Drawing. Lisa Simpson is a great portrait for beginners because her face is made from simple lines and circles. There is not even a distinction between her face and spiky hair!
- Easy Robot Face. With glowing eyes, a grill-like mouth, and mechanical eyebrows, the face of this metal man is as emotive as any other character's face.
- Begin with a circle. First, make a small construction drawing. With the help of some basic shapes, the head, eyes, nose and mouth can be positioned with ease.
- Center axis. Now we sketch a straight line in the center of the circle. I call it "center axis", because left and right should be more or less symmetrical, as it is in faces.
- Vertical guide lines. Time for some guidelines: Cut the circle with a horizontal line. We transfer this half circle height downwards to the extended central axis.
- One more circle. Now we need a smaller circle. Don't worry, we have almost finished construction. The small circle goes from the third line of division to the very bottom.
