You were requesting for a long time to make the tutorial of face drawing a long with proportion of different parts of face, so here it is

To make it easy and simple i will divide this face drawing tutorial into 3 different parts : Front view, Side view and 3/4 view , this is part one of three, in this tutorial I will cover front view face drawing of both male and female. basic formula are same for both, but some  proportions are different for male from female

Note : Let me tell you that this is not Andrew Loomis method of drawing a face but this method follow the theory of Andrew Loomis

Material Used :

• HB pencil (Artline)
• Scale
• Drawing sheet (Medium surface)
• Mechanical Eraser

Lets Start with Female Face

Step 1 :

Draw a horizontal line and vertical line intersecting each other and right angle (90º). then mark a distance from point of intersection both side equally and that distance should be half of size of the eye and then mark equal distance in both side and that will be the size of eye.

Step 2 :

Now we will define the size of the nose, now mark a distance on the vertical line from the point of intersection then draw a small construction line(horizontal) on the mark and now make a triangle on that line

Step 3 :

Mark two lines equal to the size of the eye from end point of nose, that will be position of lover lip and other point will be position of chin

Step 4 :

Now draw the basic shape of eye on both side and then I will define the position and shape of eye brow and for that draw a line joining the nose and end of the eye both side, and draw triangular shape and draw eye brows like this as shown in image above. also draw basic shape of nose

Step 5 :

Now its time define the size and shape of  the lips, draw vertical lines from the center of the eyeball and the distance between these lines will be the size of lips, now draw the lips like this as shown in image above

Step 6 :

Now  its time to provide shape of the chin and for that draw lines both side whose distance will be half of the eye from the end of the eye and then draw two vertical lines from the center of the eye ball, and join them like this as shown in the figure

Step 7 :

For drawing hairs we should mark the hair line, distance between eyebrow line and hair line will be equal to distance between nose and chin

Step 8 :

Now its time to draw ears, distance between nose and eye brow will be size of ear, so draw two parallel lines touching eyebrow and end of the nose as shown in picture. draw the basic shape of ear between these two lines

Male Face

As I said before that the basic formula are same for both, but some  proportions are different for male from female. so  I will only talk about that differences

So step 1-3 will be exactly similar so we will directly jump into step 4

Step 4 :

Now draw the basic shape of eye on both side and then I will define the position and shape of eye brow and for that draw a line joining the nose and end of the eye both side, and draw triangular shape and draw eye brows like this as shown in image above, the shape of eye brows will be slightly different from female eyebrows it will be little thicker and closer to the eyes, also draw basic shape of nose

Step 5 will be exactly similar

Step 6 :

Now  its time to provide shape of the chin and jawline and for that draw lines both side whose distance will be half of the eye from the end of the eye and then draw two vertical lines from the center of the eye ball, and join them like this as shown in the figure (chin will be little wider and jawline will be little narrow)

Step 7 & 8 will be similar expect the hair style of male
