Today we will draw a person's face. Many people mistakenly believe that only select talents can draw. This is not true: anyone who has the desire and patience can learn to draw correctly. Knowing the basic proportions and rules of construction will help you correctly depict a person’s face. Read the following material and try to draw a face step by step.
Axes and proportions
When drawing a person's face, it is imperative to study and constantly draw centerlines easily.
With experience, you can get by with one or two guides, or without them at all. You don’t need to think that axes are boring and uninteresting; they will help you quickly and correctly build a face with the correct proportions, identical eyes, and symmetrical parts.
In the future, visually imagining these axes, you will be able to work with human facial expressions and emotions. After all, to show sadness, you need to lower your eyebrows and corners of your mouth, close your eyes, and for this you need to imagine at what level all these parts of the face are in a state of calm.
Eye line
The first and main axes that you definitely need to remember are:
Axis of symmetry and eyesThe eye line of all adults is in the middle of the head.
Divide the oval of the head into two equal parts horizontally - this is where the eyes will be located. We also outline a vertical line of symmetry.
At first it’s difficult to do this by eye, so check yourself by measuring identical lengths with a pencil or ruler.
Eyebrow line nose hair
Next you need divide the oval of the head with horizontal lines into three and a half parts. The upper axis is hair growth, in the middle is the level of the eyebrows, below is the axis of the base of the nose. The distance from the hair to the eyebrows is equal to the height of the forehead. Essentially, the face (if you don't take into account the hair) consists of three equal parts that are equal to the height of the forehead.
Line of mouth and lips
Next we will designate the lips. To do this, the lower part of the face (from the nose to the tip of the chin) needs to be divided in half - this way we will find the line of the edge of the lower lip. To determine the level of the mouth cut, you will have to divide the segment from the lower lip to the nose into four more equal parts. The first quarter will be the line of the mouth.
Mouth and lips The mouth section of most people is at the same level, but the sizes of the upper and lower lips are completely different.
Where to place the ears
No matter how strange it may be, very often, with a more or less successful face structure, the ears are not attached at all in the place where they should be located. Therefore, we will pay special attention to the ears.
Placing the ears correctly At the top, the ears are attached to the axis of the eyes, and at the bottom at the level of the base of the nose. They can be large or small, stand out strongly or lie close to the head, but for all people they are attached to the line of the nose and eyes.
How to place your eyes correctly
How to find out the width of the eyes and the distance between them? To do this, the eye line needs to be divided into 8 equal parts.
Outlining the eyes - Another eye (2/8) should be placed between the eyes.
- Each eye is 2/8 wide.
- From the outer corners of the eyes to the contour of the head, leave 1/8 (the width of half the eye).
These are rough guidelines. These proportions differ slightly for different people. It is not necessary to divide the axis into 8 parts every time, just check yourself.
This photo shows with light lines that:
- the corners of the eyes are level with the wings of the nose
- and the center of the eyes lies in line with the corners of the mouth
Face drawing scheme
Actually, if you outline all the guides, then you should end up with a diagram like this. You can print it out as a sample, since it is difficult to remember everything at once and practice drawing a person’s face with the correct proportions.
Schematic representation of a person's face Later, you will be able to give faces features of specific people and draw portraits of everyone you are interested in.
With this we will finish with axes, proportions and guides and start drawing.
Drawing step by step
Today we will not draw a portrait of a specific person, but will learn to create quick sketches with the correct proportions and placement of all the main parts.
Drawing a face is a skill that improves with experience. If you have never drawn portraits of people, it is important to first simply learn at the level of mechanics and repetition how and at what level to place the eyes, nose, mouth, eyebrows, ears, and the relationship between them. To do this, look at the diagram in the previous section and easily apply the guides.
Repetition is the mother of teaching
We designate the form
The first stage is the simplest, we need to designate the shape of the face; it is easiest to fit it into an oval, ovoid or other round shape. The vertical axis will help create a symmetrical pattern, the horizontal axis will help show the eyes correctly.
Outlining the main elements of the face
All previously outlined lines will help us build our face. These axes must be applied very lightly, barely noticeable, so that later they can be easily and imperceptibly erased. 
It doesn’t really matter where exactly you start drawing facial features, the main thing is that you don’t get stuck and concentrate on one thing: nose, eyes, lips, eyebrows.
At first quickly and easily define all parts of the face without going into detail without trying to be too precise. We apply all the lines very lightly, so that it is easy to correct.
If something turns out crooked or inaccurate, you can fix it at the next stage.
We specify the shapes and sizes
At this stage, we adjust the size and shape of the eyes, ears, eyebrows, nose, lips, and clarify the shape of the face. We correct everything that went wrong at the previous stage. 
Adding details and shadows
Using strokes, we add shadows near the nose, eyes, under the upper lip, and highlight the cheekbones. Drawing hair. Show the neck and shadow on it. 
This portrait is quite primitive and not worked out, but such a quick sketch is quite enough for learning.
In the following lessons we will definitely consider the nuances of drawing eyes, nose, lips and ears. We will also consider facial expressions and human emotions, but for all this you definitely need to practice well.

We can now take a closer look at the details. And we'll start with the face. A person’s face is the first thing we pay attention to in any situation, and this also applies in a certain way to art: the observer will first of all look at the face with your characteristic features. Putting a face on paper, especially drawing lively, expressive expressions, is definitely worth the effort.
In this tutorial we will introduce the main components drawing a face - proportions, features and perspective, and in the following lessons we will look in more detail at various facial expressions.
1. Facial proportions
Full face:
In this position, the skull will be a flat circle, to which the outline of the jaw is added, which overall forms an egg shape, pointed at the bottom. Two lines perpendicular to the center divide the “egg” into four parts. To distribute facial features:
- Mark the midpoints of the left and right halves of the horizontal line. There will be eyes at these points.
— Divide the vertical bottom line into five equal parts. The tip of the nose will be at the second point from the center. The lip fold will be at the third point from the center, one point lower from the tip of the nose.
- Divide the top half of the head into four equal parts: the hairline (if the person does not have a receding hairline) will be located between the second and third point from the center. The ear will be located between the upper eyelid and the tip of the nose (if the face is at the same level). When a person looks up or down, the position of the ears changes.
It is useful to know that the width of the face is the width of five eyes or slightly less. The distance between the eyes is equal to the width of one eye. It is not typical for people to have wide-set or too close-set eyes, but it is always noticeable (wide-set eyes give a person an innocent, childish expression, while narrow-set eyes arouse suspicion in us for some reason). The distance between the lower lip and chin is also equal to the width of one eye.
Another measure criterion is the length index finger above the thumb. In the diagram below, all lengths are marked in accordance with this criterion: ear height, distance between hair growth and eyebrow level, distance from eyebrows to nose, distance from nose to chin, distance between pupils.
Profile:
From the side, the shape of the head also resembles an egg, but pointed to the side. The center lines now divide the head into an anterior (face) and posterior (skull) portion.
From the side of the skull:
- The ear is located directly behind the center line. In size and location, it is also located between the upper eyelid and the tip of the nose.
- The depth of the skull varies between the two dotted lines (as shown in Step 4).
From the face:
— Facial features are positioned the same way as in the front view.
— The deepening of the bridge of the nose either coincides with the center line or is located slightly higher.
— The most prominent point will be the level of the eyebrow (1 point from the center).
2. Facial features
Eyes and Eyebrows
The eye is made up of two simple arcs, shaped like almonds. There are no strict rules here, since eye shapes can be completely different, but there are general recommendations:
— The outer corner of the eyes is higher than the inner corner, and not vice versa.
— If you compare an eye with an almond, the rounded part of the pupil will be from the inner corner, decreasing towards the outer corner.
Eye Details
— The iris of the eye is partially hidden behind the upper eyelid. It crosses the lower eyelid only when the person looks down or squints (the lower eyelid rises).
- The eyelashes curve outward and are shorter on the lower eyelid (in fact, you don't have to draw them every time).
— If you want to depict the oval of the tear duct in the inner corner of the eye, and also show the thickness of the lower eyelid, it completely depends on your preferences; an excess of details does not always look appropriate. Adding such details is proportional to the complexity of the drawing.
- The same can be applied to drawing the crease of the eyelid - it adds expressiveness and makes the look less anxious. I think it's best not to add a fold if you're doing a stylized design or your design is too small.
The eye in profile resembles the shape of an arrow tip (the sides can be concave or convex), with a small marking upper eyelid and, optionally, lower. In life, we do not see the iris in profile, but we see the white of the eye. When I was working on the lesson, many people said that “it looks strange,” so the iris still needs to be designated.
As for the eyebrows, it's easiest to draw them after the eyes to follow the curve of the upper eyelid. Most of the length of the eyebrow looks inward, and its tip is always slightly shorter.
In profile, the shape of the eyebrow changes - it becomes like a comma. This “comma” continues the level of the eyelashes (where they bend). Sometimes the eyebrow appears to be one with the eyelashes, so you can also draw one curve for the top of the eye and the border of the eyebrow.
The nose is usually wedge-shaped - it is easier to visualize and give three-dimensionality before adding details.
Partition and sides The noses are flat, which will be noticeable in the finished drawing, but already at the sketching stage it is necessary to identify them in order to subsequently distribute the details correctly. In our wedge, the lower flat part is a truncated triangle connecting the wings and the tip of the nose. The wings curve towards the septum to form the nostrils - note that when viewed from below, the lines forming the sides of the septum are in the foreground, parallel to the face. The septum protrudes lower than the wings (when viewed straight on), which means that at a ¾ angle the far nostril will not be visible accordingly.
The hardest part of drawing a nose can be deciding which parts of the nose to leave out for a natural-looking result. You won't always have to draw the entire wing of the nose (where it meets the face), and in most cases the drawing will look better if you just draw the bottom of the nose. The same goes for four lines the septum of the nose, in the place where they connect to the face - in most cases it will be better if you draw only the lower part of the nose (wings, nostrils, septum) - you can alternately cover the lines with your finger to make sure of this. If the head is turned ¾, it becomes necessary to complete the lines of the bridge of the nose. You will need to do a lot of observation and trial and error to recognize the unique features of the nose. Caricaturists have this feature - you need to carefully examine the outlines of the noses to understand why they are depicted this way. We will return to this issue again in future lessons.
Lips
Tips for depicting the mouth and lips:
- First you need to draw the lip fold, since it is the linearst and darkest of the three almost parallel lines that form the mouth. In fact, it is not a solid straight line - it consists of several implicit curves. In the picture below you can see exaggerated examples of the movement of the mouth line - note that they follow the line of the upper lip. This line can be “softened” in several ways: the hollow above the lip can be narrower (to distinguish the corners) or so wide that it becomes invisible. It can also be the other way around - the lower lip is so full that it creates the feeling of pouting. If you find it difficult to stay symmetrical at this stage, try starting from the center and drawing one line on each side.
— The upper corners of the lips are more noticeable, but you can soften them by creating two wide curves, or soften them so much that they are no longer noticeable.
- The lower lip certainly resembles a regular curve, but it can also be almost flat or quite rounded. My advice is to denote the lower lip with at least a regular line under the lower border.
— The upper lip is almost always narrower than the lower lip, and it protrudes less forward. If its outline is outlined, it should be more clearly expressed, since the lower lip already stands out with its shadow (it should not exceed the size of the lip).
— In profile, the lips resemble the shape of an arrowhead, and the protrusion of the upper lip becomes obvious. The shape of the lips is also different - the upper one is flat and located diagonally, and the lower one is more rounded.
— The lip fold in profile deviates downward, starting from the intersection of the lips. Even if a person smiles, the line goes down and rises again in the area of the corners. Never raise the line level when drawing in profile.
Ears
The main part of the ear (if drawn correctly) is shaped like a letter WITH from the outside and the shape of an inverted letter U With inside(border of the upper ear cartilage). Smaller ones are often drawn U above the earlobe (you can put your finger to your ear), which goes further into a smaller letter WITH. Ear details are depicted around the ear opening itself (but not always), and their shapes can be quite different from person to person. The drawing can be stylized - for example, in the picture below there is an ear in its general view resembles elongated “@” symbols.
When the face is turned to the front, the ears are depicted in profile accordingly:
- The lobe, previously marked in the shape of an inverted U, is now visible separately - the same thing when you look at the plate from the side and then see its bottom as if it were closer to you.
— The shape of the ear opening resembles a drop and stands out against the general background of the ear.
— The thickness of the ear from this angle depends on its proximity to the head, this is another individual factor. However, the ear always protrudes forward - this is how it happened during evolution.
When viewed from behind, the ear appears separate from the body, essentially a lobe connected to the head via a canal. Don't underestimate the size of the canal - its function is to make the ears protrude forward. In this view, the canal is heavier than the lobe.
3. Angles
Since the head is based on a circle, where facial features are outlined, changing the angle of the head is easier than it seems at first glance. However, it is even more important to observe the position of people's heads in different angles in life, to remember all the protrusions and depressions that overlap each other in the most unexpected way. The nose undoubtedly recedes significantly from the head (the eyebrows, cheekbones, center of the lips and chin also protrude); at the same time, the eye sockets and sides of the mouth form some depressions in our “circle”.
When you and I drew a face from the front and in profile, we simplified the task to a two-dimensional image where all the lines were flat. For all other angles, we will need to shift our thinking to a three-dimensional world and realize that the shape of an egg is in fact an egg, and the lines we used earlier to place facial features intersect this egg like the equator and meridians on a globe: at the slightest changing the position of the head we will see that they are round. Positioning facial features is just drawing intersecting lines at a certain angle - now there are three of them. We can again divide the head into upper and lower parts, "cutting" our "egg", but now we need to keep in mind: the components closest to us look thicker. The same applies to drawing a face up or down.
Man looking down
— All features curve upward, and the ears “rise.”
— Since the nose protrudes forward, its tip drops below the original mark, so it seems that it is now closer to the lips, and if a person lowers his head even lower, the nose will partially cover the lips. From this angle there is no need to draw additional details of the nose - the bridge of the nose and wings will be enough.
- The arches of the eyebrows are quite flat, but can become curved again if you tilt your head too much.
- The upper eyelids of the eyes become more expressive, and it is enough to just slightly change the position of the head so that they completely hide the orbits of the eyes.
— The upper lip is almost invisible, and the lower lip is enlarged.
Man looking up
- All lines of facial features tend downward; the ears also move downwards.
- The upper lip is visible in in full(which does not happen in full face). Now the lips appear pouty.
- The eyebrows arch further and the lower eyelid rises, causing the eyes to appear squinted.
- The lower part of the nose is now fully visible, both nostrils are clearly visible.
Man turns around
- When we see a person almost completely turned away, the only visible features that remain are the brow ridges and cheekbones. The neck line overlaps the jaw line and is located next to the ear. When a person turns, we also see eyelashes.
- Also, when turning, we can see part of the eyebrow line and the protrusion of the lower eyelid; the tip of the nose also appears directly from behind the cheek.
- When a person turns almost in profile, eyeballs and lips (although the fold between the lips is small), and the neck line merges with the jaw line. We can still see part of the cheek covering the wing of the nose.
It's time to practice
Use the quick sketch method, sketching out facial expressions that you notice around you in a coffee shop or on the street.
Don’t try to detail all the features and don’t be afraid to make mistakes, the main thing is to convey features from different angles.
If you find it difficult to draw in volume, take a real egg (you can boil it, just in case). Draw three lines down the center and add dividing lines. Observe and sketch the egg with contour lines from different sides - this way you will get a feel for how the lines and the distances between them will behave from different angles. You can outline the facial features on the surface of the egg along the main lines and watch how they change in size as the egg rotates.
The topic of this article is devoted to how to draw a portrait with a pencil step by step for beginners. Each of us is looking for convenient way depict what he sees. Therefore, I want to offer an option on how to draw a portrait of a person, be it a loved one, or a person sitting opposite on the train, or it will be portraits of celebrities. In this version, there is only one rule - simplicity.
And today is a training lesson. We will draw a person’s face with a pencil step by step, a person whom you see every day; you are used to “working” a little on his appearance, trying on makeup or a smile, severity or tenderness. We draw the face you know as your reflection in the mirror.
But first, let's get a mirror and look at ourselves like for the first time. All people are similar, and at the same moment different, and you are no exception. What makes us similar? Every healthy person has two eyes, a mouth, a nose, ears, eyebrows, and hair arranged in a hairstyle. What makes us different? The shape, size and location of these “details” of human appearance. So, a portrait is a kind of collage or puzzle of several passages, which we will “break down” into the plan of our work: Eyes; Mouth; Nose; Ears; Brows; Hair (hairstyle) and oval face.
And all this has its own shape, size and its own proportions of location on the face. This is what makes each of us “one of a kind” and unlike anyone else. And, if we are learning to draw a portrait of a certain person, then it would be good to first pay attention to the shape and type of each element of the face in detail. And only after this our final goal, and this is a portrait with colored pencils, will become more accessible.
We will first practice depicting all the details with a simple pencil. And also, please note, I draw myself and my eyes. You can practice drawing mine for now, but this will be an intermediate step on the way to understanding how to learn how to draw portraits with a pencil.
Step 1
Here we will draw an arc with a pencil. At the same time, pay attention to its shape. It is extended until the middle, and then “rolls” down.
Step 2
The lower arc is almost perfect. It is smaller than the top one.
Step 3
We connect the arcs and perform the upper eyelid.
Step 4
Cornea and lower eyelid.
Step 5
Eyelashes appear on the upper and lower eyelids and the pupil.
Step 6
We make small folds near the eyes and mark the places where the shadow falls, making the eye seem voluminous.
Lips
How to draw sponges correctly? Just 5 steps and your lip drawing is ready.
Step 1
We start with a wavy line.
Step 2
Over wavy line depict the upper sponge.
Step 3
We complement the drawn mouth with a lower sponge.
Step 4
We connect the edges of the lips and some folds of the lips.
Step 5
We create a chiaroscuro effect and do not forget about the folds in the corners of the lips and on the chin.
Nose
How to draw a portrait of a person if you don’t learn how to draw one of the most difficult details, the nose. We do this step by step.
Step 1
We draw parallel lines - this is the width of the nose.
Step 2
The two lines end with the original “capsule”. This is a widening of the nose.
Step 3
We depict the nostrils.
Step 4
Shading for a chiaroscuro effect.
Step 5
To make the shadow look natural, we even it out a little.
Ears
Another element that is sometimes forgotten when covered with hair. But our pencil portrait for beginners provides it step by step. What is this? Ears.
Step 1
The shape of the ear is similar to an arch. Let's do it.
Step 2
We carry out top part auricle, helix and tragus.
Step 3
We make an anti-curl. A lobe has appeared, which means I haven’t forgotten about my jewelry – the earring.
Step 4
I do the cheek, neck and hair.
Brows
Drawing a portrait also includes such details as eyebrows.
Step 1
Some find it convenient to do this first with an arc, and then each hair separately. And for some, it is more interesting to immediately draw the shape of the eyebrows, making them with abrupt lines.
Step 2
We correct the shape and thickness of the eyebrows.
Hair (hairstyle) and face shape
Having examined each individual detail, it is easier for us to understand how to draw a portrait with a pencil. And yet, I will show you the image of a person’s face in stages.
Action 1
My face is round in shape. And this is what I try to portray.
Act 2
I mark where the neck will be and the shape of my hairstyle.
Act 3
I draw the hair in more detail.
Well, we have learned to work on each detail separately. Time to put the puzzle together. Let's talk about having a pencil person.
Angle
Before we get a portrait with colored pencils, we again draw the portrait from scratch. But what else is important to know about depicting people? The fact that you can make a person's face in different ways. For example, if the model is sitting directly in front of us, her body and head itself are positioned straight, and her eyes are looking directly at the artist, then this angle is called full face.
Profile – if the model is located sideways to us.
How to draw a portrait of a person who is sitting half-turned to us? And what is this work called? This is three quarters. This angle is very convenient for a romantic and informal image. It brings out the beauty of the eyes and lips. This is exactly what we will choose to make the first pencil portrait from a photograph.
Working on an image from a photograph
First you need to select a photo suitable model to draw a portrait from a photograph. And now let's do the work step by step.
To understand how to draw a person’s face, let’s divide everything into stages.
Stage 1
We make an oval face with a pencil.
Stage 2
This pencil work for beginners involves auxiliary lines that will help maintain the proportions of a person's face when drawing a portrait outline.
Stage 3
Thanks to the diagram, we mark where the eyes, nose and other organs will be. We perform these facial details step by step.
A little more detail:
Eyes and eyebrows
Stage 4
Now, to make our pencil portrait from the photo look more believable, we erase all the auxiliary lines and pay attention to the hair. Don't forget about the effect of chiaroscuro.
Stage 5
It's time to make a portrait with colored pencils to bring it to life.
Test lesson
It's time to move on to checking what we have learned and continue talking about how to draw your portrait. I hope the portrait drawing lessons were not in vain for me, and I will be able to believably draw myself as a real beauty!
1) Oval face.
Visual video:
Indeed, drawing a person’s face with a pencil is not so easy. You will need to maintain the proportions correctly, indicate the location of the main details, and accurately convey the features. But if you use the instructions with detailed description, then drawing a person’s face with a pencil step by step will not be difficult even for beginners.
Drawing a human face with a pencil step by step
Before you start drawing a portrait, you need to familiarize yourself with the artists’ recommendations:
- First you should carefully consider the placement of the main parts;
- to make sketches, you will need to use a pencil sharpened, which will make it possible to draw thin lines;
- until the desired result is noticeable, the auxiliary lines should not be erased;
- it is important to maintain proportions, otherwise the person’s face in the drawing will turn out distorted;
- in the lower part the person’s face is pointed, and in the upper part it is rounded.
The accuracy of conveying emotions depends on the experience of the artist. The longer the training took, the better you will be able to convey facial expressions when drawing a person’s face.
How to draw a person's face with a pencil step by step? IN in this example The process of drawing a portrait of a girl will be considered.
Step 1: drawing the face shape and marking the eye level
First you need to draw the shape of the face. To do this, you need to draw an oval with a pencil. It is desirable that the figure be smooth to avoid distortion. A horizontal line should be drawn in the middle of the oval. This is where the eyes will be located in the future.
Step 2: marking the level of the nose, lips, eyebrows
At the next stage of drawing a person’s face with a pencil, you need to mark with straight lines the location of the nose, lips and eyebrows. It is important to remember that the distances from the bottom of the chin to the nose, from the eyebrows to the place of hair growth, from the eyebrows to the nose are approximately equal. In the photo below these distances are marked to the right of the oval. In addition, the above lines are located parallel to each other.
Step 3: marking the eyes and bridge of the nose
Before you draw the eyes on the face, you should remember that their inner and outer corners are not located at the same level. Besides, different people may have different eye shapes. Above the line marked at the first stage of drawing, it is necessary to mark the height of the outer corners. Next, you need to draw a vertical line in the center of the face, which will divide the oval into equal halves.
Step 4: Drawing Each Eye
To draw a person’s face with a pencil step by step, you will then need to set aside and mark two equal segments from the central vertical line to the left and to the right. This will be the distance between the inner corners of the eyes. Then it should be set aside to the left and right of each inner corner. Thus, the distance between the eyes is approximately equal to length eyes.
Step 5: drawing lips and nose
From the inner corners of the eyes, draw vertical straight lines downwards, reaching the level of the nose. After this, you need to mark the outer corners of the lips. To do this, draw straight lines down from approximately the center of each eye.
Step 6: final drawing of the eyes and nose
It is necessary to connect the inner corners with outer smooth lines. Inside the eye you should draw an iris, which is a colored circle in the center. It is not completely visible, since its upper part is covered by the eyelid.
Then you should draw the upper and lower eyelids, following the contours of the eyes. Then you need to correct the nose, defining its wings using rounded lines. Its tip is marked with a small circle.
Next you need to draw the bridge of the nose, the thinnest part of which is located approximately at eye level. Also, do not forget to depict the nostrils during the drawing process, without which the nose will not look believable.
Step 7: Image of Lips
Since midline The lips are already marked on the face, it’s enough to just change it a little (round) and draw the upper lip, not forgetting about the hollow.
Then you can proceed to the lower lip. She should be slightly plumper. If you want to make your mouth slightly open, you need to leave a small distance between your lips.
Step 8: Drawing the Eyebrows
It is difficult to imagine a person’s face without eyebrows, so they must be drawn. Previously, a line was already drawn that indicates their level of location. This is where you should draw the arched eyebrows. Their internal corner is lower than the external one.
Step 9: Refining the contours of the face
At the next stage of drawing, it is necessary to clarify the contours of the face. An oval of the correct shape is not suitable for this, so you need to create reliefs and define the cheekbones.
Step 10: Hair Image
IN in this case the girl's face is depicted, so it is advisable to draw her long hair. From the line of their growth, which was indicated earlier, you should draw smooth lines with a pencil. These will be curls.
To make your hairstyle look more attractive, it should be given volume. To do this, you need to lift your hair at the roots.
Step 11: Hatching
To make shadows, you need to draw strokes in uniform lines. At the same time, you should not press hard on the pencil.
In places where the shadows should be darker, the shading is done more diligently.
Using a soft pencil, create shadows on the eyes, lips and eyebrows. The iris and eyelash line are also darkened. It is important that the corners of the lips look darker.
The drawing is ready. Depicting a person’s face is a rather long task, but incredibly interesting.
