Movie on Drawing a Face

In this movie on drawing a face you can clearly see all things are not perfect....neither are faces.  You can do this!  We will transfer the face onto fabric later and paint it to look marvelous.  After I drew the face with erasible pencil, I then went back and drew over those lines with a scripto pen to be able to see the drawing thru fabric.  Practice, practice, but have fun with it.  Next step will be to transfer your drawing onto fabric!

Beginning to draw a fabulous face.

Today, lets start with the basic facial features.  You should do a search about "The Divine Proportion" or the "Golden Ratio" to gain a knowledge of the divine proportion of facial features.  To make it easy, I have included a grid that I refer to often for general placement of these features.   Now copy/paste this grid onto your computer and print it out.  Practice drawing different facial features just to get an idea of what you need to learn.  My next instructions will be about drawing those fabulous eyes.
