Step 1.
I like to start my faces off with a circle.Draw a vertical and horizontal line going right through the middle to create a sniper’s scope. This is the foundation of the face viewed from the front.
In this next step we will be adding a few more horizontal lines. The top line represents the hairline. The second line from the top represents the eyebrows. The third from the top represents the nose and the bottom is the chin. As pointed out in the picture the spaces between the 4 horizontal lines are equal in height.
Step 3
Next, we add pockets for the ears by drawing two vertical lines slightly tilted inwards at the bottom.
Step 4.
The eye line is drawn under the halfway mark and it’s on this line that we draw the eyes. Now on this horizontal line you should be able to fit almost 5 eyes in width. So go ahead and pull out your ruler and make sure that there is an eyes width between the other 2 eyes. We’re going to be doing some more measuring so feel free to keep your ruler out.
The nose, amazingly, is just as wide as your eye, generally speaking. So, on the nose line, mark where the nose should be. (The nose line is two thirds of the way down between the half line/eyebrows and the mouth)
And for the mouth draw 2 imaginary lines straight down from the center of each eye; the mouth should stay within those bounds. The mouth sits on the curved line at the bottom of the circle.
Step 5.
Now all you have to do is fill in the features, erase your guidelines and you have a well proportioned face.
