Horizontal Facial Proportions of Adults

Before you attempt to draw adult faces, it helps to know how to plan a place for everything, sort of like a blueprint. Even though the heads and faces of adults come in many shapes and sizes, the same basic guidelines for proportions apply to almost everyone.

Jan Myrz Jul.21st 2011: I did this one all with a 2H Kimberly graphite pencil. I just wanted to see what all the range I could do with just one pencil. This Sci-Fi Futuristic Female came out of the paper. Now I want to try it using a range of pencils. Interesting and challenging lesson; thanks.; Add your reply

bort May.4th 2011: I've been avoiding drawing faces until this lesson and I'm really happy with how mine turned out. This lesson was very helpful. Thanks!

Also, to Fryman, calling the lesson garbage when someone was kind enough to work hard and put it up for us to use for free is terrible. If it doesn't help you, keep it to yourself and go find somewhere else that does.; Add your reply
