Here's a little tutorial on how I draw a face: I started by drawing the shape of the head and neck with an H pencil. I usually use an H pencil or other light pencil first. I drew a line vertically through the middle (this shows where to draw the nose). I also drew two horizontal lines near the middle to show where to draw the eyes. Next, I added the nose. Then, the eyes. I started with two little curved lines. Finishing the eyes is probably the hardest part of drawing a face but also one of the funnest parts. I drew a circle for the iris, then a smaller darker circle inside for the pupil, then drew a light curved line underneath for the bottom part of eyelid. I added the eyebrows and a simple, smiling mouth. I drew the shape of the hair. Then, I added more to the hair. Finally I went over some of the drawing with a darker 2B pencil and added some shading.
So, there you have it. That's one way I draw a face. There's lots of different ways you can draw a face; sometimes I draw faces with more detail to look more like a realistic portrait, other times I do less detail for more of an illustration/sketch look. Always remember, "He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it," (1 Th. 5:24). All for Him, Savannah Jane
