Step 1

Start depicting the head by creating a silhouette in the form of a vertically elongated oval.

Now draw the eyes, which should be exactly in the center of the head vertically.

Step 10

Erase construction lines from the head drawing. Depict the texture inside the ears with two S-shaped lines.

Step 11

I decided to use shades of brown for the skin and hair and black for the eyes. Inside the eyes, I left a couple of circles for highlights, which gives the face drawing a more lively look.

Add shadows to give the face drawing an even more voluminous and lively look. You can also add details such as eyelashes, nostrils, and lips.
