Sketching practice notes Eye Ear Nose Mouth Proportions of the human face

Step 1 Eye Start with a circle first this will be the size of the entire eye including the eye brow.

Step 2 Eye In the center of the eye make a football shape. This is where the eyelids sit around the eye.

Step 3 Eye Draw a sideways C with a small circle towards the top. Make sure it’s barley touching the bottom of the football shape.

Step 4 Eye Curve the lines out on the top and bottom of the eye where the eyelid would crease. Erase on the sides up top and in the middle underneath. Tip: This is where you can show age if you want the person to look younger or older add or decrease the size of the creases.

Step 5 Eye Add two shapes one on the pupal (the small circle in the eye) and one below to show highlights. This makes the eye look wet. Than add lines that radiate out from the pupal and radiate back from the outside edge of the eye. Tip: The darker the eye the closer the lines will be the lighter the eye the farther apart they will be.

Step 6 Eye Add shading the eye is a sphere so shade it from the edges in. Also the eyelid casts a shadow on the eye. Add shading around the areas of the eye that show folds

Step 7 Eye Eye lashes always go away from the eye. Make curved shape to show that they are rounded. You will see a little gap for the thickness of the eyelid for the bottom lashes. Not all the same size. Tip: They are always thicker to the outside of the eye and due to perspective you see very little in the center (this also depends on the eyelashes of the person you are drawing.

Step 8 Eye Blacken the pupal and add a little shading for the inside of the eye to make it look more realistic.

Step 9 Eye Add the eye brow just above where the eye crease is. How your eye brow looks is going to depend on the

Step 1 Ear Draw a C shape for the outside of the ear. Than observe the lines on the inside. Draw these lines first.

Step 2 Shade the inside parts of the ear that are set back. Observation is key because every ear looks different.

Step 3 Shade the back side of the ear and add black where needed.

Step 1 Nose Start by drawing a large circle with two small circles on each side. Add an oval above this to create the bridge of the nose Tip: Where you put the circles will determin how the nose looks.

Step 2 Nose Connect lines to create the curve of the nose and the nostrils.

Step 3 Nose Choose a light source and begin shading the sides that have the darkest shadows. Turn all lines into shading.

Step 4 Nose Add your blacks to the nostrils, the side of the nose etc. Also add shading outside to link your components together.

Step 1 mouth Draw an almond/football shape to start. Divide in half

Step 2 mouth Put a v shape in the center of the football shape at the top and on the line in the middle.

Step 3 Mouth Determine light source and shade under, side where shadows show and from the inside of the mouth out.

Step 4 mouth Add lines like you did with the eye lashes to show the creases in the lips.
