Learn how to draw faces step by step for beginners with this easy face drawing tutorial using basic face proportions. I go through how to draw faces for beginners from scratch using simple construction lines to help place the facial features. I also go through how I ink a sketch once I have finished drawing a face. Finally I go through how to shade a face to make your face drawing a bit more realistic and 3D. This face drawing is more stylised, however these face proportions also apply to realistic drawings. Therefore this face drawing tutorial can be applied to any drawing, no matter what your drawing style is.

Kirsty Partridge Art i was so excited to see this. I primarily prefer reference-free invention. Can you do more like this? Especially with hair? Hair is the weirdest for me and I don’t feel like the references help enough.

The most important things in selftought drawing is to learn shading and not beeing afraid to make a mistake. It's amazing when you can express your mind on paper. The most annoying thing in selftought drawing is that people will see it as a talent. They don't see the hard work and frustrations you've gone trough, they just say it's talent.

I am CONSTANTLY having issues with faces and I am CONSTANTLY having people ask me to paint faces on small figurines with no established features, like angels. I have tried other methods that seem to have 800 measurements/angles for the head to establish proportion properly, and your gentle technique seems easiest for me!

Thank you for this! I have drawn most of my life and really I have just been "winging it". If it works, it works ... but now I am frustrated how I am unable to recreate proportion and movement (in the body and length). Now, whenever I see artists, they seem to start out with a rough "guide". This was fantastic, and humbling to watch - as i see there is still much I need to learn. I jumped ahead at some point and missed the basics... So embarrassing. This is y I am a "amateur artist" ^_~ lol

Thanks for this. The idea of dotting out the boundaries before connecting the lines helped me a lot. Almost like you can't go wrong if you follow the proportions. Also, I was inspired to erase and redraw way more than I usually do.

I'm happy to see someone else drawing with a fineliner and then "colouring" with pencil and stompf! That's how some of my best artwork has been made. So freeing to know you can just erase if the shading goes wrong. I'm inspired to do more in this technique now!

I have started to draw in 2016, but mainly have done sketches only and really have not done much in terms of guidelines nor shading. But I am getting to the point of wanting to make more realistic looking drawings. Keep up the great work!

I have bought good quality pencils, some decent paper, erasers, etc. However, I also have printer paper and normal HB pencils - I love that you almost encourage that.
