This is most likely the one aspect to drawing that people think they cannot do.
But if we look at the shapes and stages that we can take to make up a face, then you may surprise yourself when drawing a face.
Children at school draw faces and get straight onto the job of drawing and produce some wonderful results. The thing is, they do not hesitate or worry about the 'trying to draw' phase, they just do it!
So lets have a look at the shapes for the face.... (looking at keeping it simple and cartoon style)
Head shape - it's an egg! I am sure you have heard it said before that the shape of the head is almost egg shape.... and it is!
Ears - Well they sit on the side of the 'egg' and could almost be the shape of the letter 'C' (not on the drawing above, but I want YOU to imagine them there...)
Eyes - Half way down the centre of the egg and can be two simple dots
Nose - just below the eyes and can be a simple small circle
Mouth - just under the nose and can be a simple line
Easy!
