How To Drawing Face

Yo! Welcome to ‘Potatoon’s way to draw cartoony face’ :-D Today, I will explain to you my step-by-step in drawing faces, with some info.

But, I gotta tell you. If you are looking for something like this:


where are their noses??!

 

Then I’ll say, I can’t help you :B

My style of drawing isn’t anime; its cartoony with more realism.

This is going to be kinda long, but there will be a lot of drawings; so it would bore you so much… I hope.

 

First! Lets meet the first thing we have to study for drawing face:


 

 

Oh yeah bb. It’s the great Human’s skull. And he say love to you! ;-)

Now you might wonder

“wait! You mean we have to learn and draw every bit of skulls to make a cartoon? Noooo!!”

 

the answer is… HELL NAW. Its not that complicated! (throws confetti happily)

…but, we still have to study it anyway. (pick up confetti sadly)

 

but no, we don’t really draw a skull for every faces we draw; that’ll be too hard. At least to me. Bahaha.

We use skull to know the basic on where you put things (eyes, mouth, noses) its just example :-D

Like this:



 

 

YA RLY.

 

And here, is a more simple basic of human’s head


 

 

Now, let’s fill it up!

 

First, eyes!

Remember, eyes are round/circle, not square or ~*amazingly oval*~. So it will be easier to draw a circle first, then draw the pupil, iris, and then the eye lines. Like this:


 

Here some examples of eyes and the emotions of it:


 

Just remember that eyes aren’t THAT big. Its not so small either. You can decide the length by looking reference, or easier your own eyes ;-)

 

Next, nose!

Nose could be quite tricky at first because of the shape. You have to think about the shape the most. Except when you’re drawing Voldemort.

There’s 2 technique on drawing noses. These:


 

 I don’t use the first one often, I use the second one because its more simple. But you can choose for yourself ;-)

 And here’s some example of different shapes of nose. Yep, noses are different! Just look at your nose and your cat’s nose! Different ain’t it? ;-D

 

 

Now the mouth!

Remember the ‘mouth area’? Here’s how to use it:


 

That’s the use of mouth area line; to know where the mouth ends and begin :-D

Now some examples of lips and the emotions of it


 

You got the ‘filler’! you’re almost done!

If you’ve practice a lot, you could use even more simple lines than the first one! Just one circle and one line. Make things easier and faster! Like this:


 

 

 

Now, last but not least, keep in mind that PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT FACES STRUCTURE. Its usually depends on the gender and the fat contribution of the person. Have some experiment :-D


 

And you iz finished!

 

Some notes:

  1. face is SRS BSNS. Look up to reference for a good structure. I do at first :-D and then you can experiment by your own! You can always reference Johnny Depp to draw manly man

  2. and refrence Jamia Nestor to reference a beautiful woman. :-)
  3. PRACTICE. its the only way. like, really :B
  4. keep in mind, you dont have to draw in MY style. you can take the information you found useful here and use it on your own style :-)

This is really good.

It is just about breaking things into basic shapes; you can apply this to drawing ANYTHING. :)
