4 steps to drawing a face

Facing another direction

By turning your face so it is not facing you, you can add depth to your character.

  1. Draw a egg
  2. Draw a vertical curved line down the egg curving the line towards the direction you want the face to point.
  3. Draw a horizontal curved line 1/2 way down egg. Then draw two more horizontal lines just above and below a 1/3 of the way up the egg.
  4. Add eyes at the 1/2 way line. Draw nose to touch the middle line and mouth across bottom line.
Tip: Things that are further away from you are small so try to draw anything on the furthest side of the face a little smaller.
