How to draw a male face easily
Step 1
Draw a circle Draw a circle, then draw a line through the center vertically and horizontally. Try to keep your construction lines as light as possible. If you can’t draw a good circle, don’t worry! Trace a round object like a mug or a roll of tape.
Step 2
Draw a line for the chin To figure out where to draw the chin, use your ruler or a pencil and your finger to measure half the diameter of the circle (from the bottom of the circle to the horizontal line), then transfer your measurement to the bottom of the circle and draw a line for the chin.
Step 3
Draw the cheeks and jawline Draw the cheeks and jawline connecting the chin to the circle. Remember to keep your lines light. We’ll give more definition to the face later. The clearer your lines are, the easier it will be to erase and make changes. Important: Before proceeding to the next step, erase the horizontal line inside the circle.
Step 4
Draw facial construction lines Through the center of the head, draw a vertical and horizontal line. Divide the lower part of the face in half, then in half again. Do the same for the upper part of the face. These lines are for the eyes, nose, lips and hair.
Step 5
Draw the eyes and eyebrows On the line labeled eyes, divide the face into 5 equal sections. Be sure to consider the full width of the head. Note: Thanks to Pranab Mahajan for reminding me to add this little detail – If you have trouble dividing the face into 5 equal sections, measure the width of the head with a ruler and divide your number by 5. Example: If the widest part of the head measures 6 cm, divide it by 5 to get 1.2 cm. Next, divide the head into sections of 1.2 cm each. Draw your eyes in the appropriate spaces.

Step 6
Draw the nose Before drawing the nose, we will need some boundary lines. Draw a line going down from the corner of each eye and stopping at the line marked “nose”. Let’s draw the nose within these limits. For a medium length nose, draw it above the nose line. Learn to draw a nose: blog version, video version.
Step 7
Draw the lips We will also need some dividing lines for the lips. Draw a line of demarcation down from the center of each eye and ending at the line labeled “lips”. Draw a triangle directly under (touching) the nose and ending on the “lip” line. Learn how to draw lips using my triangle method: blog version, video version.
Step 8
Draw the Hair Draw the hairline creating a very angular, well-defined shape. I like to draw the top hairline between these 2 lines. Once that’s done, draw the rest of the hair. To give her hair more volume, draw your outlines farther from the head, but make sure the distance is fairly consistent, otherwise the shape of the head may look unrealistic. Step 9: Draw the ears Approximately between the eyes and the nose, draw the ears.
Step 10
Complete her face Give the cheeks, jawline and chin a little more definition. I gave her a sharp jawline with a faded chin. To make someone look leaner, you can draw subtle lines to shape the cheeks. Finally, give it a thick neck and add the shoulders as well. I erased the construction lines to show you his unfettered face. You can save these construction lines to help you at the end of this tutorial when we swap facial features to transform our characters!
How to draw a female face easily
Step 1
Draw a circle Same here – draw a circle with a line through the center vertically and horizontally.
Step 2
Find out where to draw the chin Measure half the diameter of the circle and add it to the bottom to get the chin, except THIS time draw the chin slightly shorter.
Step 3
Draw the cheeks, jawline and chin For women, I like to draw a narrow face with a narrow jawline. For the chin, taper your lines inward so that the chin is narrower than the male’s.
Step 4
Draw facial construction lines Erase the horizontal line inside the circle, then draw a line through the center of the head vertically and horizontally. Divide the lower part of the face in half, then in half again. Do the same for the top of the head.
Step 5
Draw the eyes On the line labeled eyes, divide the head into 5 equal sections taking into account the full width of the head. Draw your eyes in the 2nd and 4th spaces. How to draw a pair of realistic eyes.
Step 6
Draw the nose Again, draw a set of boundary lines coming down from the inner corner of each eye. Draw your nose a little higher than the “nose line” for a medium length nose. For a more feminine face, draw a narrow nose using soft lines that aren’t too sharp/angular. For the bridge of the nose, draw a smooth curve that isn’t too dark.
Step 7
Draw the mouth Create your boundary lines coming down from the center of each eye. Draw your triangle directly below the nose and resting on the line labeled “lips”. For a medium length mouth, draw it well inside the boundary lines. Rest the lower lip on the line labeled “lips”.
Step 8
Draw the ears Draw the ears roughly between the line of the eyes and the line of the nose.
Step 9
Draw hair Females tend to have softer, rounder hairlines than males. Draw a smooth line around the forehead without making many sharp angles. Also, be sure to keep your lines fairly light. Once you have completed the hairline, draw the rest of the hair. For a super detailed tutorial on how to draw hair, visit this tutorial.
Step 10
Complete her face Draw the cheeks, jawline and chin using smooth lines. A square chin can make your design look much more masculine (not that there’s anything wrong with that!). Finally, give her a narrow neck compared to hers. A thick neck can indicate a muscular individual.
