How to Draw Faces from the Side

Learn how to draw male and female faces from the side. This is my new and improved method for more realistic looking faces. It's also a lot more simple than it was before (less construction lines).
In Part 2, I show how to age the faces. It's super fun! You can view that bonus clip here: • How to Draw Aging Face...

[@hamed6439]

Hahaha😄

[@johngalvin6010]

You can definitely see male & female faces. I'll certainly practice drawing lots & fit them to my pad. The only thing that troubles me is that when you draw the eyebrows, they don't look right until you remove the feint head construction lines. Maybe I should just draw them in last. I've learned a lot from this demonstration. Thank you.

[@patriceledec7828]

hi....youre so awesome...it fits well with my ocd...what i want to come about with following those tutorials is to match all of what i learn from you and do a whole perfect face...can this ne done from you??...cause i wonder how long the process last...thk u and congrats

Hello there .... love the way you teach with pencil n paper . . I'm getting the idea of your tutorial n have done a lot better ...but no one can say which drawing paper is the best for pencils ...I've bought so many types n some leaves to much white where the lead does not come go in .. so I use copy paper for the printer .it works best for me .....what do you think ???? I don't know how to send you a pic of my drawing thru here for u to see n get your opinion.... also I was taught to draw with one pencil n take out 5 shades with ...n after the class was over I went to advance drawing then gave me 3 Pencils ... generals 2b, Hb,2h ..This is how I was drawing ..I never knew bout other darker pencils nor White pencils or thin erasers .lol sorry I'm just thinking in my mind like duh .... anyway your doing a Great job on giving tutorials...

[@briandaclac9721]

Hi there, have you considered going back to use pencils, erasers, papers for showing your drawing techniques? Your videos dated back a few years ago attracted more viewers than those recent videos perhaps people prefer more traditional ways....just my opinion though!

[@ibraheemmshezad400]
