Every artist needs to know how to draw a person and his body parts. One of the most difficult parts of the human body is the face.

Since Howtodrawforkids.com is intended for children and novice artists, this instruction on how to draw a face will be as simple as possible.

Below I will show you how to depict the face and all parts of the face in a simplified way and using the simplest way of describing.

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Now depict the pupils inside the eyes, which should have a perfectly round shape.

Step 4

Now, above the eyes, draw the eyebrows, which should taper to the sides.

Step 5

Now with the help of smooth lines depict the nose.

Step 6

Now draw a smiling mouth between the nose and chin.

Step 7

At the top of the head, depict a few curved lines for the hairstyle.

Step 8

Now add some more hair lines like in the image below.

Step 9

Now depict the ears on the sides of the head.

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.
