Step-by-step demonstration. Lynne Chapman, award-winning illustrator, shows how to draw a child's face from imagination, getting realistic proportions from the front and in profile. Lynne then demonstrates how to play with these proportions to create different child characters, suitable for a children's book.

Thank you for your hard work and for making it clear to people who are working on a project of writing books for children.

Thank you for the video. I had no idea! Neat to watch a little face "come alive" with character.

Wow! When you drew the first face, my first thought was, " So that's what Mr. Martinez was trying to teach me!" He was my art teacher in school. Lol!!! Boy did I just feel dumb! 😂😂 He had us drawn face one day with shadows and my face had a bunch of shadows! 🙄😂 Not normal shadows like you just did right on the inside of the nose and where the nose joined the forehead right next to the eye! I hope that makes sense!

thank you so much everyone. Glad you enjoyed the film. Yes, my books are coloured up in pastels. There is a video showing a demonstration of me creating a pastel piece, if you go to my channel. There's also a link to it from my website at lynnechapman.co.uk :-)

Just found your channel and enjoying your videos. You are an excellent teacher - do you teach at an educational institution as well as illustrate?

Thank you so much for that wonderfully positive feedback. I'm so sorry for the crazy delay in answering your comment. I have trouble with notifications, so only just saw it. I have had periods of teaching at further and higher education and also have done one-off workshops with kids in primary schools for many years, but I do less and less teaching these days as I prefer to get on with my work with more focus.
