The document provides 11 steps for drawing a face from the front view using Loomis' approach: 1. Draw a circle with crossed lines to mark facial features. Add a square touching the circle. 2. Draw the chin below the square. 3. Locate the eyes on the "eye line" below the brow line. 4. Draw the eyes proportionate to the head width. 5. Draw the nose below the brow line and eyes. 6. Locate the mouth halfway between the nose and chin. 7. Draw the ears aligned with the brow and nose lines extending from the head. 8. Draw the hairline on the top square

Assignment: How To Sketch Head
Teacher: Miss Riffat Nadeem
HOW TO DRAW A FACE
FROM THE FRONT

We'll first discuss Loomis' approach,


which is more complex, but more
accurate. If you find that this approach
is a bit difficult for you, you can skip
to the simpler approach further down
the page. Remember, either way, the
goal is to create a convincing drawing
of a face so either approach you take
is fine.
Step 1 - Draw a Circle and a Cross

We'll first draw a circle with two intersecting lines that connect
directly in the center. The circle represents the top portion of the
head. We'll use the intersecting lines to determine the locations of
the facial features.

Step 2 - Draw a Square within the Circle

Next, we'll draw a square in which each corner touches the circle.
This square will eventually represent the edges of the face. The
top line will eventually become the bottom hairline. The bottom
line will become the nose line, while the center line will become
the brow line.

Step 3 - Draw the Chin

Now we'll measure the distance from the center line to the bottom
line. You can use your pencil to do this. From the bottom line of
the square, use this measurement to mark the location of the
bottom of the chin. Then, draw the edges of the chin from each
side of the square so that they connect at your marked location.
Step 4 - Locate the Eyes

Now we have the basic structure of the shape of the


face in place. We'll next locate the eyes. We can use the
height of the head to help us determine the location of
the eyes on the face. The eyes are generally found on a
line in the center of the head.

The brow line is represented by the center line that we


drew in step one. So we know that the eyes should be
found just below this line, in the center of the head. We
can draw a line here for the "eye line".

Step 5 - Draw the Eyes

Now that we know where our eyes are located on the


face, we can draw them. There's another measurement
to keep in mind. We also should consider the width of
the eyes. The width of the head, from ear to ear,
generally measures the same length of five "eyes". This
means that if we want to draw the eyes with accurate
proportions, then we need to draw them so that they
match this approximate measurement.
Step 6 - Locate and Draw the Nose

Moving down the face, we'll next draw the nose. The
bottom of the nose can be found on the bottom line of
the square that we drew in step two. The width of the
nose varies from person to person, but is generally as
wide as the inside corners of the eyes.

It may be helpful to draw two light lines down from


the inside corners of the eyes to help you find the
width of the nose.

Step 7 - Locate and Draw the Mouth

We find the mouth slightly higher than half-way


between the bottom of the nose and the chin. Of
course, this measurement varies from person to
person. We can draw a line to mark the positioning of
the mouth.

We can use the eyes to help us determine the width of


the mouth. The corners of the mouth generally align
with the inside edges of the pupils. It may be helpful
to draw light lines from the pupils to the "mouth line".
Step 8 - Draw the Ears

Next, we'll draw the ears. Here again, we can use the
locations of the features of the face to help us determine
the location of the ears. The top of the ears will
generally align with the brow line, while the bottom of
the ears align with the nose line.

Keep in mind that the ears come out of the head and
extend upward slightly. This means that the ears will
extend outward from the head, near the eye line.

Step 9 - Draw the Hairline

Now we'll draw the hairline. If you're drawing someone


that has long hair that overlaps the forehead, the hairline
may not be visible, but it's still important to know where
it's located. The hairline is found on the top edge of the
square that we drew in step two.

Hairlines vary greatly from person to person. In this


example, we'll draw a widow's peak pattern.
Step 10 - Draw the Hair

Now that we have the hairline in place, we can draw the hair.
Shorter hair extends only slightly off of the top of the head,
while longer or bushier hair may extend quite a bit. In both
cases, however, the hair extends out from the head and should
not be drawn directly on the head.

Step 11 - Add the Neck

Now we need to add a neck to our floating head. The


tendency of most beginning artists is to make the neck too
narrow. Generally speaking, the neck extends down from the
bottom of the ears. Female necks are slightly more slender,
while the necks of males are broader.

To draw the neck, we'll simply extend two lines down from
the bottom of the ears.
