Learn to Draw Faces--It's Easy!

Kids love to draw faces, but sometimes it doesn't seem easy to draw the expressions or facial features correctly.  Just watch the video to below to get you started.  After watching it once, then watch it again with some paper and pencil in hand to practice with while you watch.  The more you practice, the better you'll get.  Then, use your new abilities in drawing faces to wow the judges when you enter an art contest for kids.  

What is really cool about this first video is that it was done by a teenager, Toby K, who did the drawing using his tablet with Photoshop software. 
Some Tips on How to Draw Faces from Toby's Video:

  1. Draw the basic shapes of the head and neck first, before filling in the features.
  2. Don't worry about pencil lines; just draw lightly and you can always clean up the drawing later by erasing unwanted lines.
  3. The person's eyebrows should be just slightly higher than the top of the ears.  The eyes should be drawn just below the tops of the ears.
  4. The end of the nose should be just slightly lower than the bottom of the ears.
  5. Shade in under the nose, lips, chin and jawline to give more of a 3D effect. 
  6. Add hair last.

This second video is all about how to draw faces in a cartooning style.  For some kids, this is more appealing and it is actually a good place to start if the drawing faces in a more realistic way is too challenging at first.  Again, have paper and a pencil ready and practice as you follow along with the video.
