DRAWING LESSON: HOW TO DRAW A FACE IN PROFILE

In a previous DRAWING LESSON I showed you a simple way to construct a face. Today I want to continue with a lesson using the same ideas to draw a face in profile.

Again, We begin with simple shapes. Start with a circle.























Next add the jaw line and chin.
























Now add some construction lines. First draw a horizontal line to divide the head in half, this is the eye line. Next make a small mark half way between that line and the chin, this marks the placement of the nose. Finally, Make  one more mark half way between the nose and the chin.
























Use these construction lines to place some simple features.















































Finally, a page from my sketch book to give you some ideas on how you can use this construction. Give it a try and have fun!
