This lesson is about how to draw a girl's face with a pencil. The process itself is quite interesting and difficult. However, upon achieving the result, you will be pleasantly surprised, because the drawing turns out to be very realistic.
So, the lesson on how to draw a girl's face in stages begins.
Step 1. First of all, you need to draw the base. This will be an oval face, a bit reminiscent of an egg. In this case, the height of the face will be equal to the triple width of the chin.
Step 2 The second step is to draw the eyes. Visually divide the entire oval of the face in half and position the eyes slightly below the imaginary line. In this case, the shape of the eyes can be different, the main thing is that they be symmetrical. The upper eyelid with open eyes is almost imperceptible. On the inside, you need to add clearly visible lacrimal glands.
A round iris is drawn inside the eye, slightly raised under the upper eyelid. Subsequently, the iris will be decorated. In the circle of the iris, the pupil should be drawn. He is completely black. On the lower eyelid, draw short eyelashes that are more visible from the outside. The upper eyelid has long eyelashes.
Step 3 The next step is to draw the nose. A broken wavy line is drawn, as shown in the figure, slightly curving up.
Step 4 Next, you need to draw a mouth. The lower lip should not be thick, but not thin either. Photos of real girls will help to keep the proportions. And the upper lip looks like a volcano, thanks to a small dimple located clearly in the middle, under the nose.
Step 5 Eyebrows are easy to draw. If you need to give your face some kind of expression, you should look at photos of real girls or look in the mirror. The usual neutral expression is almost even brow lines, slightly curved on the outside of the face.
Step 6 The hairstyle, length, appearance and color of the hair is drawn based on the artist's imagination. The main thing is to leave room for the forehead.
Step 7 The top of the ear is in line with the eyes. A beautifully traced curved line of the ears ends with a small lobe, on which, at the request of the painter, earrings of any shape can be depicted.
Step 8 Approximately at the level of the lower lip, the neck begins. Having drawn it to the bend of the shoulders, one must not forget about the lines of the collarbones.
That's it, the lesson on how to draw a girl's face beautifully is over. Now it remains only to add color, decorating the girl.

How to draw a person's face with a pencil step by step
How to draw a person's face with a pencil
One of the most difficult types of art is the image of a person. The physique must be studied in detail in parts. We have already considered some elements.
Before you start, be sure to read these few recommendations from professional artists:
First you need to think about the approximate location of all elements
For sketching, take a sharpened pencil of medium hardness (I used HB and 2B, write in the comments which pencils you used), which will allow you to sketch thin lines.
Do not erase the sketch lines until the desired result is clearly visible.
Keep Proportions
Note that the face has a pointed shape at the bottom and a more rounded one at the top.
Practice! The more you train, the better you will learn to convey the necessary emotions and nuances of human facial expressions.
And now let's move on to the lesson.
How to draw a person's face step by step:
Step one. The face of this girl is oval. First, make an oval and divide it with lines. The vertical line exactly in the middle crosses it, and the horizontal lines are arranged as follows. The first divides the face just below half, and the second still half from the remaining lower part of the face. We can't give exact measurements because everyone's faces are different.
But the task of these lines is to outline the approximate location of the nose (this is vertical), as well as the location of the eyes and lips (horizontal bottom line). Keep in mind that these will need to be erased later, so don't press too hard on the paper with the stylus.
If you press hard on the paper, it will deform, and the drawing will look like a girl who is preparing for plastic surgery. (Will be "beautiful" like a gargoyle)
Step two. Make indicative strokes on the place where the nose will be located. And also add lines for the mouth, and halfway between the nose and chin. Make the line that represents the lower lip wider.
Step three. Let's move on to drawing the eyes. They are located just above the nose. The outer edges of the nose indicate where the inner corners of the eyes will go. Make a sketch as shown in the picture. There is another important factor to consider here.
Human anatomy is arranged so that the distance between the eyes is equal to the size of another eye. This is indicated by the red arrow in the figure.
Now let's add the eyebrows.
Tip: even if one eyebrow is raised and the eyebrows are the same height, start drawing from the inside (points closer to the nose). To get an idea of how high the brows are, add another imaginary eye above the left eye - this should give you more or less the correct height for the brows.
Step 4 Let's add a mouth. In the previous lesson, we already covered some points. For example, we tried to depict the lips of a person. But there is one more important point, a lot of questions from novice artists about how big the mouth should be? Draw mentally two lines from the inner corners of the eyes down. This will be the approximate size of the company, with a smile it can be a little wider.
Step 5. Now we erase the auxiliary lines that we made in the first two steps. Let's see what we got. In principle, the sketch is ready. Now it remains to decorate, add shadows.
Step six. Give the shape of the face more specificity. Pay attention to the cheekbones and the shape of the chin. This woman has a strong chin, but try not to make it too strong or she will turn into a man. Draw black pupils, and add eyelids.
Drawing eyes requires concentration. This is the mirror of the soul.
Drawing a man's face is a little easier than a girl's face. Women's faces are more graceful, without rough outlines. There is one opinion - giving a childish outline to a woman's face adds more aesthetics, for example: a sharp chin, a neat oval, lush lips, a slightly raised nose tip. Such qualities are unusual for a man and make him not so attractive and courageous.
What do aspiring artists need to know?
Remember, anyone can. Before drawing a beautiful portrait of a girl, you need to prepare, gather your thoughts, choose a photo and study it, it is advisable to try to remember it. For quality, you need the following accessories:
Before work it is very important to choose a photo. It should be of high quality, and the girl's head should be slightly turned to the side. It is difficult for beginners to draw a complex hairstyle, so you should select a photo of a girl with a simple hair shape. Chiaroscuro also matters, the light must fall correctly on the face, without excessive glare and dark areas. This is not an academic drawing, but the technique is considered no less professional.
Building a portrait of a girl
To paint a beautiful portrait you need to know the proportions of the face. Determining the proportions is not difficult, here are the basic rules:
These were the rules for constructing a face in full face. Such average proportions are considered correct.
If a 2/3 photograph is taken with the head slightly lowered, slightly different rules apply here:
The first stage of work - drawing the outline of the face
Initially you should draw an oval of the face. There are two ways: sighting and eye. But this element must be drawn as accurately as possible. To do this, points are measured by sighting in width and height, and then approximately by eye you need to draw an oval of the girl's face. After drawing the oval the axis of the face is outlined with the help of an arcuate line, it is located slightly below the center of the eyes in the position - full face. In this way, the lines of the lips and nose are outlined.
Width proportions are also determined by the sighting method. Each element of the face is measured separately, because there is no one symmetry in width. You need to draw everything as shown in the photo. The drawing must be drawn in stages, after the lines and dots have been placed, you need to start working on the contour of the eyes. At this stage, everything is done by eye, so do not rush, drawing the lips and nose. At the end, you should outline the outline of the hair.
The second stage of work is the outline of the main parts of the face
Eyes, nose and lips should be given expressiveness. In this case, work begins with, it is advisable to start drawing from the darkest areas. The pupil is drawn in stages, then the iris, then the transition to the eyelids is performed. The darkest pencil is used for the pupil and the edge of the iris. The white of the eye and the inner part of the iris are shaded in gray. Eyelashes, eyebrows and eyelids are drawn in the last step.
nose shape it is not recommended to mark with rough lines. For elegance, it is enough to slightly outline the line of the nose and start working on the base. The nostrils are created, they should be slightly darker than the entire shade of the nose. Next, you need to draw the tip of the nose and shade it all in gray. It would be enough.
This step creates lips. A dark line is made at the place where the lips meet. With the help of shading, the lower and upper lip are outlined. With the help of the tone, the darkest areas of the lips are created, they should not be too pale. This part of the face is slightly detailed, using gray and dark pencils.
The third stage of work - the tone of the face
Each face has its own color and should be outlined in the portrait. This is done using hatching with soft pencils so that the tone is not too dark, it is recommended to use a 6B pencil. It is important to remember that the strokes are not applied randomly, but in a certain direction according to the shape of the skin. The strokes should be as close as possible to each other, without gaps.
No pressure on the pencil, it is enough to hold it at the level of a light touch on a sheet of paper. Work begins with the lower part of the face - the chin; then slowly move up. The first layer of hatching is applied, it should be uniform. For a high-quality tone, at least two leveling layers should be applied to hide defects.
After the basic tone has been done, it is necessary to start shading to hide some of the rough details. For this purpose, a dense fabric with a small pile is used. The strokes are shaded with neat and smooth movements. After several times, you need to turn the matter over to the clean side so as not to cover up the drawing. For realism, a shadow is applied to the tone substrate.
The fourth stage of work - drawing hair
As mentioned above, to begin with, a simple hairstyle is selected without expressive complex strands. With the help of hatching, the basis of the hair color is set. Hair should be slightly darker than the main tone of the face, but in the event that the girl is a brunette. Blond hair is much more difficult to draw. A pencil with a softness of 6B is used.
To simplify the task The work can be divided into 3 stages: 1 - the main hair color and the shape of the strands are outlined, 2 - a shadow, 3 - detailing. To achieve high-quality drawn hair, you need to hatch in the direction of hair growth. After this step, the hair is shaded. You should get a gray hair color with their imitation.
At this step, a shadow is cast, but with a smooth transition to light areas. A 7B pencil is taken and dark areas are hatched. For the final effect of realism, you need to draw strands, highlights and perform the final correction. Highlights are made using an eraser, for ease of use, you can give it the desired shape. You need to draw in stages, without jumping between certain levels.
The human face is quite complex in its structure, moreover, it is considered the most expressive part of the human body.
Experts determine the character, emotionality, sensitivity precisely by the face. Draw a face with a pencil or paints, a matter of choice for each individual artist. The technology will be the same. To learn how to draw a female face, you need a little patience and skill.
face contour
First, let's draw the outline of the face.
To do this, draw an oval that will taper downwards. Do not draw a circle, because most people still have an oval head shape. In appearance, the oval you have drawn should resemble an egg.
Next, draw the dividing lines that will help us correctly outline the proportions of the face. Draw a vertical line strictly in the middle of the oval. Next, also draw a horizontal line in the center. The lines should intersect strictly in the middle of the oval.
Nose
The first thing we will start to draw will be the nose.
Divide the bottom of the oval into equal parts by drawing a horizontal line. The point at which this line intersects the vertical line will be the starting point for drawing the nose. Draw the base of the nose and then the nostrils on both sides. There are various forms of the nose, but it will be convenient to draw all of them with the proposed method.
Mouth
In order to properly position the mouth on the face, we divide the rest of the oval under the nose in half again.
The point at which the line just drawn intersects the vertical line will serve as the base for the lower lip. First draw the center line of the lips, i.e. the line where the upper lip meets the lower lip. Next, draw the top lip, and lastly paint the bottom lip.
Eyes
The main thing when drawing eyes, remember that they should be on the same line.
In this matter, the first horizontal line that we drew at the very beginning will help us. Draw two small circles that will cross the horizontal line. These circles will form the eye socket. On the upper contour of the circles we will place the eyebrows, and on the lower part we will draw the cheekbones.
Brows
Eyebrows can be different in width, but let's learn how to draw eyebrows with the correct shape.
The eyebrow should lie on the top outline of the circle we drew earlier. Draw an eyebrow of the required width. The length of the eyebrow should also not go beyond the circle.
Eye shape
Most often there are almond-shaped eyes, so we will draw just such.
To do this, draw two tonsils. Remember that the distance between the eyes is equal to the width of another eye.
Pupil
Here we will draw not only the pupil, but also the iris. To do this, draw a circle that will be located a little closer to the center of the eye relative to its middle.
This will be the iris of the eye. Next, draw another circle, smaller in size already inside the iris. Paint it black, leaving some white. This will be a glare from the light. The same highlight must be reflected on the iris. From the center of the eye to the white, leave a few white lines that will be more pronounced near the pupil, and less visible on the contour of the iris. In this case, you will get a good artistic effect.
Eyelids
Draw a smaller amygdala than before.
Position it so that the pupil touches its borders. The tonsils should be in contact with the large tonsils at a point that is located in the area of \u200b\u200bthe nose.
Nose and eye borders
This can be done with shadows.
To do this, add a slight darkening under the eyes, walk along the contour of the nose, and also shape the wings of the nose. If you want to portray a tired look, then the shadow should be drawn under the lower eyelid with a sharper angle, tending to the bridge of the nose.
Ears
In order to draw the ears correctly, you must remember a few nuances.
First, the lower borders of the ears should be in line with the tip of the nose. Secondly, the upper borders of the ears should correspond to the eyebrows. Well, the third - the ears should not be protruding, if they are not in reality.
Hair
There is only one rule for the image of hair.
Make sure that you draw them in the direction from the parting to the ends of the hair, and not vice versa. The parting can be placed absolutely on any side, or you can do without it at all.
Every aspiring artist will sooner or later want to learn how to draw portraits. Of course, to create a full-fledged portrait, you will need unlimited patience and long training. For beginners, it is important to master the technique of drawing the main components, to work out the correct proportions. The human face can be drawn in an arbitrary form, and then work on the details and components.
For such a complex job as drawing a human face, stock up on quality materials. You will need a sheet of paper, an eraser and some pencils. Pencils should be chosen with different hardness, which can be distinguished by marking. A hard pencil is marked with the label “H” or “T”, soft - “B” or “M”. Using a hard pencil, you get a thin light line. When drawing with a soft pencil, the lines will be darker and thicker. Let's start drawing. Take a good look at yourself in a mirror or look at any image of a human face. Look at the proportions. The narrowest part of the face is the chin, the wider part is the cheekbones and temporal zone. Any human face can be depicted using the following three figures: two trapezoids and a triangle. The line of contact of the trapezium indicates the line of the eyes and the upper point of the ears. The line of contact between the triangle and the trapezoid is the line of the lower lip.
Drawing a person is a difficult task, which is within the power of those who are not afraid of hard work. Before starting the process, carefully study the techniques for applying shadows, drawing eyes, lips and other elements of the face. Keep proportions, but don't be afraid to experiment and keep improving your skills.
