Drawing facial features plays an important role as they convey the feelings of your characters. Drawing one feature at a time can improve your drawings.
Facial features can be drawn as straight-on view as well as profile views. Below are some tips that you can keep in mind.
Start with drawing a nose: When drawing on a straight-on view, start with creating a line drawing. Use the grid method and a mechanical pencil to create a line drawing.
Develop light and darks: When you are sure of accuracy, remove the grid lines with a kneaded eraser.
Blend your drawings: Blend drawings with a stump or tortillon.
Drawing lips: While drawing female mouths, the upper lip is drawn smaller and darker compared to the lower lip. Blend tones and light highlights after you darken the upper lip. While drawing male lips, the edges of male lips are more subtle and are described by shadows around the lips.
Keep practicing using these tips and improve your drawings.
