Skillshare teacher Jasmina Susak shows us how to add in the first features on the face. Inside each of the ears, draw a few ovals and lines to create the inner portion of the ear. Take a curved line down each side of the face until approximately halfway down the lower half of the drawing (down to the middle of the cheeks). Drawing additional guidelines helps to make sure your features are in the right places. From here, draw a light dotted line about a third of the way up from the middle horizontal line to mark a guideline for the tops of the ears. This will create a hairline for you to work from later on. Step 2: Add the Ears and Hairlineĭraw the upper portion of a circle inside the original curve at the top of your page. Sketching out the face outline will provide you with a good base to build the rest of your drawing on. This should be slightly flatter in the middle to form the chin. From these side lines, draw a gentle curve on either side of the lower section of the page, underneath the center square, bringing them both together at the very bottom horizontal line. Both of these should be just outside the outside lines of the square. Start drawing a circular curve in the upper section of the page, bringing two curved vertical lines down to the middle line. Creating guidelines helps you to keep all of your facial features proportionate. This will form a square in the middle of your paper with the three horizontal and vertical lines extending beyond it. In the middle, draw another horizontal line. Using a ruler, draw a horizontal line at the top and bottom of your paper with two vertical lines around an inch from either side.
