  • Learn to draw a face for beginners, nice and simple. How to draw the basic proportions of a face is very important. In this easy face drawing tutorial I explain how to draw the proportions of the face correctly using little cards cut to the width of the eye, length of the nose and the top of the nose to the chin. These proportions of the face will ensure that the eyes, nose, ears and mouth are in the right positions. The video explains that eyes are half way down the head. This very important because many people draw a face with the eyes near the top of the head. It is vital to make sure the top of the head is large enough to accommodate the brain, otherwise the drawing of the face will look unbalanced.
    This simple sketch of the face also covers how to make the eyes look alive by leaving a white spot on the pupils. This art tutorial also covers the basic shading of the face as well.
    This video is suitable for absolute beginners to drawing.

    How do we get the three paper "guides" you use. Is there a template we can download? I really enjoy your videos and I have learned many
    important tips from you. I have had a few courses in drawing and I don't think, I learned as much. Thank you for helping us.

    • @PaulPriestleyart
      @PaulPriestleyart  4 роки тому +2

      The paper guides I made myself. If you measure the width of your eye, it is half the length of the nose. The nose is half the distance from the centre of the eyes to the chin. There is a proportion here which you can make for yourself. I hope that helps. Really pleased you enjoy my videos. Cheers Paul

      You have to do that yourself. The width of one eye equals the gap between the eyes - approximately.

    • @PaulPriestleyart
      @PaulPriestleyart  4 роки тому

      The measurements are from your own face, you'll find the cards are in proportion to each other. The size of the nose is twice that of the eye and the measurement from the centre of the eyes to the chin is twice the nose. There are slight variations in every face.

      If you watch the video carefully you'll notice that the largest of the cards - as seen in the thumbnail is equal to the distance from the top of my nose to my chin. This is half the distance from the top of my head to my chin. If you want to create similar cards measure your own face and make a card like mine. The other card is exactly half the size. All our heads/faces are of the same proportions. Hope that helps.
