Many artists, including myself, have faced challenges when trying to capture faces accurately. I’ve created a straightforward tutorial to help you understand my approach to drawing faces, both from the front and the side, in my style. I'll guide you through each step, explaining how I do it and offering tips along the way.

Let’s start with the basics. For drawing faces, you only need a few supplies: a piece of paper, a pencil (either traditional or mechanical), and an eraser.

I also use an eraser pen for precision work, but it’s not essential. If you’re interested in the exact tools I use, you can find links to them on my website.

First, begin by drawing a circle for the head. This might seem basic, but if you struggle with circles, check out my tutorial on drawing them. Next, draw a guideline down the center of the circle. This might be more useful for perspectives but I use it as a habit. Connect the circle to this line to form the head shape.

Pay attention to the proportions as this will determine how your face looks.

When drawing the face, start with the chin.
