How to Draw a Human Face

Begin by sketching the outline of the face using light, gentle strokes. Start with a circle to represent the head and then add a vertical line down the center to divide the face in half. Next, draw a horizontal line halfway between the top of the head and the chin to mark the position of the eyes. Use these guidelines to place the features of the face accurately. Once you have the basic outline of the face, it's time to add the facial features. Start by drawing the eyes, placing them along the horizontal line you drew earlier. Remember that eyes are usually one eye-width apart from each other. Next, add the nose below the eyes, and the mouth below the nose. Pay attention to the shapes and proportions of each feature to ensure they look natural.
