Drawing Human Face

Ever wondered how to draw a realistic face? Well, you may want to begin right away, but learning the basics of the human face will help you dramatically. Don't believe me? Well, try it out yourself!

Supplies needed:

pencil/ pen (pencil recommended)

ruler

blank printer paper

Step 1: Draw an upside down oval 

Step 2: Split the oval in half with a vertical line

Step 3: Use any edge of your ruler to create a perpendicular bisector of the vertical line

Step 4: Draw five half circles from one end of the horizontal line to the other end. (Try to make the half circles about the same size) 

Step 5: Draw another half circle under the second and fourth half circles. 

Step 6: Find the point where the horizontal and vertical lines intersect. From that point to the chin, find the middle using your ruler, and mark your spot on the vertical line. Then, go about three millimeters above where you found the middle and place a dash on the same vertical line. 

Step 7: Draw straight vertical lines from the tips of both eyes. Stop where your dash is (Step 6) and if you need to, draw a horizontal line from the dash (Step 6) to both ends of the vertical dashed lines. Now, draw your nose between the vertical dashed lines and above that horizontal line you made.
 (Note: I didn't draw the horizontal line for the nose)

Step 8: Once you're done, draw three even half circles from the nose to the chin. 

Step 9: Draw two dashed vertical lines from where your pupils are. Then, below the first half circle (Step 8), draw a horizontal line that intersects the two dashed vertical lines. 

Step 10: Draw your lips. (Upper lip should be smaller than bottom lip)

Step 11: Extend your lip line until it meets the ends of your face. Now draw ears from the horizontal lines your eyes are at to the tip of the extended lip line. 

Step 12: Draw your neck, which should begin at the bottom end of your ear.
