The basic face is a great place to start a drawing. It’s something you can use to create a variety of other faces and characters.

This video will give you all the help you need to draw this basic face. I’ll show you what shapes to use, how to shade and blend, and how to erase properly. You’ll also see several different ways that you can turn this basic face into something unique.

The face has parts: the eyes, ears, nose, mouth and chin. Seeing how each of these work together will help you create faces more easily in the future.

Once you learn how to draw this basic face, it will be much easier for you to follow along with the other videos in this series.

I hope you enjoy learning how to draw this basic face as much as I enjoyed creating it for you!

**A head is not a circle, it’s an egg shape. In fact I would say that it is more like an oval than anything else.

The facial features are drawn as from the front and so are all on the same plane.

Starting with the eyes which should be in the middle of the face and about one eye width apart. The distance between the eyes can vary depending on what you want to show or what face it is.

The nose, mouth and ears are all drawn on the same vertical plane as each other.

The placement of these will depend on what angle you are drawing them at but they should be roughly equal distances apart.

The ears should be drawn further back on the head than they appear to be in real life (approximately where a pair of glasses would sit if they were being worn). If you are drawing a cartoon then you can make them larger but they should not stick out too far or they will look like rabbit ears or elf/fairy ears!

If you have come this far then you have a basic face shape that can be used for drawing both male and female. For example, here I have drawn some different hairstyles and put glasses on the face so you can see how to adjust accordingly for those things.**

There is a simple way to draw a face from any angle. I will show you step by step how to achieve this, in the next few minutes.

The first thing we need to do is a simple head shape. It may look weird, but it is the foundation of the whole drawing. So sketch it roughly. This will be our guide for the rest of the process.

Now take your pencil and draw a horizontal line across your head shape (1). We will use this as our main guide line in this lesson. From now on, we will only work with this guide line.

You will see that there are 3 main sections of the face:

Forehead: from hairline to eyebrows

Brow: from eyes to nose

Jaw: from lips to chin

We are going to divide each section into thirds (2,3). These thirds will give us all information needed for basic facial proportions.

We draw these lines lightly at first so we can erase them if necessary. Now you start dividing each section into thirds (4). Again, lightly at first so we can change them if necessary later on. This is important because we are going to use these divisions as a guide for features we add later on. The most important thing here is not

I have put together this blog to serve as a quick and easy guide for anyone who is interested in learning how to draw.

I have done my best to present the information in an easy-to-understand manner, but please keep in mind that I am not a professional artist or art teacher. If you see something you feel I could be doing better, or if you find an error that needs fixing, please let me know!

Here is a little bit of information about myself: I am 21 years old, and I have been drawing digitally on and off for the past year. This blog is NOT intended to be a digital art tutorial, but rather a basic guide for drawing with pencil and paper.

In addition to using the internet as a resource for my drawings, I also like to visit museums and galleries and take sketching classes whenever possible.

It’s very easy to draw, as long as you have already developed the skill of lines and forms.

To draw a face is a very simple task, especially if it’s a cartoon. First you have to draw a circle and then make a dot on it. You have to make sure that the dot is bigger than the line. Then you can make eyebrows, eyes, ears and some facial hair or something like that. You can make up your own styling for that but for now, this is how you can do it. After that, you can start making the face more real by adding details such as nose, mouth and chin. Make sure that all these lines intersect each other perfectly! After that you can add eyelashes by drawing some curved lines from either side of the eyes. Now we can start coloring our drawing using basic colors of reds and blacks with some white details here and there! It’s really simple!

Art drawing is a very important thing. There are so many things you can learn and do in the world, but if you don’t know how to draw, things will be harder for you. Art drawing is very valuable in so many ways.

I’m going to show you how to draw a cartoon face. It’s not as hard as some people think, but it will take time and effort. The more you do it, the better you’ll get.

So what do we need? All we really need is a pencil and paper (this is called “sketching”), but the best thing to use is a graphics tablet. I recommend the Wacom Intuos 4 Medium because it’s reasonably priced and has lots of options for customizability. You can also use a mouse, but there are some things that are much easier to draw with a pen.
