How to Draw ... a Man's Face

First, draw an oval shape the size you want the man's face to be, or a bit smaller. Next, divide it in half horizontally (1), then divide that space in half (2) and that space again in half (3). Finally, divide the oval in half vertically (4). These lines will help you properly proportion the features of the face. They will be erased later.

 

 

Next, on the top line, divide each side of the vertical center line (1) into thirds. On the inside marks, draw guidelines down to the lower line (3) and mark them off. On the middle line (2), mark a notch on each side of the guidelines in the centre, as shown. Draw rough ears on each side of the head, generally just above the eyeline to the noseline or just below.

Using the notches on the top line, add two small ovals for the eyes. On the middle line, widen the notches to become nostrils, and on the bottom line, draw a pair of lips between the guideline notches. Also, make a notch halfway between the top of the head and the eye-line. This will be the hairline.

 

 

 

You can now erase the guidelines and begin to fill in details. Remember that your first attempts may look very rough! Don't be afraid to test and play. Find pictures of men from men's magazines and cut them out - study the different shapes and features of men from around the world.
