 |  To
learn to draw a face, we need to really LOOK
at a face. Most people draw the eyes at the top of the oval head shape.
But look at the pink lines...the eyes are really
about half way between the top of the head and the chin. Many people also make
the ears too small. Look at the blue line.
The ear starts at the eyebrow level and ends at the bottom of the nose. And
the nose (see the red line), should go
to about half way from the eyes to the chin. While we might not like to admit that
we have big mouths, your mouth is probably as wide as imaginary lines (the green lines) drawn from the pupil (the black dot in your eye)
downward to where you mouth should be... which is a little less than half way from the
bottom of your nose to the bottom of your chin! Lastly, you will want to put a
"real" looking neck on your person. Too thin of a neck just won't
work. See the white lines? The neck is thicker than you think! |
