It is difficult to find a person who, as a child, has not tried himself as a portrait painter. The drawing process becomes much easier if there is a sequence of actions. To draw a man's face, you will need to display his characteristic features in the drawing.
It is necessary
- - a sheet of white paper;
- - a simple pencil;
- - eraser;
- - ruler;
- - gouache or watercolor;
- - brush for painting.
Instructions
Step 1
Take a pencil and a ruler and draw two perpendicular lines on a piece of paper. Draw a rectangle around the face. The intersection of the two construction lines drawn at the start must be in the middle of this rectangle.
Step 2
Draw the outlines of the face with arched lines. It is better to carry out this work in parts. You already have a rectangle on paper, divided into four parts by construction lines. First, sketch out the outlines of the upper half of the face in the upper two parts of the rectangle. After that, draw a more elongated lower half of the face. Make sure your face is symmetrical about the vertical line.
Step 3
From the intersection of the face border and the horizontal guide line, start drawing the ear. In general, it is located slightly below the middle of the face. Draw the second ear in the same way.
Step 4
Draw the eyes. They should be located on a horizontal line, that is, in the middle of the face. The distance between the eyes should ideally be the same as the length of the eye. Again, don't forget about symmetry, one eye must be a mirror image of the other. Draw the eyelids, small and barely visible eyelashes, and the pupil. Use a ruler to draw a line for your eyebrows. In men, it is usually slightly lower than in women. Draw straight bushy eyebrows.
Step 5
Use a straight line to mark a line just above the bottom of the ear. Draw the nose using this boundary line. The wings of the nose should be the same as the distance between the eyes.
Step 6
Draw a mouth line in the middle between the tip of your nose and your chin. Draw the lips for a slight smile. With the help of shadows, you can depict dimples at the ends of the lips. Add shadows to the rest of the face - near the nose, eye area, chin. Mark the hairline and draw the man's hairstyle. Finish the drawing by removing all construction lines.
