All about Sketching Faces

When sketching a face, start with a light oval for the head. Lightly draw guidelines down the middle and across the centre to place the eyes, nose and mouth. The eyes usually sit about halfway down the head.

Look carefully at the shapes of the features rather than drawing what you think they look like. Adding shading gives the face a three-dimensional look. Practising faces regularly helps you see proportions more accurately.
