How To: Draw Face | Easy Beginner Proportion Tutorial

I am 78 years old and learning to draw - something I've always wanted to do. I happened on this tutorial and although I have never drawn a face thought I'd give it a try. I have now done the exercise 3 times, each one more relaxed and improved. On the 3rd one, I also added some hair, following your "ribbon" analogy. I was astonished. For someone totally unschooled in drawing, I had created a very realistic looking person. I wish I could send it to you for critique. Obviously, it is not perfect (yet!) but to achieve the level I did in 3 tries is amazing. Your tutorials are excellent and I will be further exploring your channel and learning whatever I can. Thanks from Canada,

Finally! A teacher on YouTube who shows us in a coloured pen, so we can actually see what you are doing! Cheers 🙂

I happened upon your video by accident because my son's school video tutorial was so horrendous it's downright shitty and shoddy. Then I saw your video, we both sat down and did it pretty well that find us both wanting to learn more than just having a submission for the sake of school. He's in his 1st year second sem for BS Com-Sci. For a 45 f and a 20 m first-timer, we are pretty much amazed. Thank you for this. Just letting you know that I did my 2nd try on this project of mine and I can say I am satisfied with the improvements. Keep doing what you do. You are helping others be better and better versions of themselves.

I've never been good at drawing people- I followed your tutorial and now I FINALLY have a face that looks human and not like a 10 year old drew it!! Thank you so much!

我現在已經是一個干73…長者.從年青到現在，都喜愛藝術.陶藝,中國畫，中國書法，水彩畫，未有間斷的學習。現在看到你細心的指導，我會努力的跟着你學習。謝謝你

I am sixty years old from Venezuela and because of stress post traumatic I've just started to learn drawing... It hasn't been easy for me, but with explanations like yours it is possible... Thanks my bro...

This is by far the only understandable practice and the fact is that you can just see and draw without having to worrying too much about the protion. I am glad with the results i got.

I have been drawing faces and profiles from a child, yet I never had any formal long lasting art training. Now at 62 , I can honestly say that I have drawn a realistic looking face! Yay! Thank You

I've watched 8 other videos about face proportion and this is the first one that described how to accurately determine where to put in the chin. Thank you!!

It's been a few years since I stopped drawing, I'm starting again, I've never drawn a proper realistic face like this before, you videos are really helping a lot, thank you very much!! 🥰🥰

I always drew faces and in my final 2 years of school I had art as a subject with art history as well. There I learned of a B6 pencil...we weren't allowed to use an eraser, our fingers for shading and 'wooly lines'. One line only...even when doing hair. We also had to use a live model and was never showed these circles. I got top marks for my sketches and nearly zero for my paintings!😅 Then life started and I stopped drawing, retired at 49 and with the help op Youtube I learned how to crochet, and love it! I am now 61 and my one hand is starting to hurt, so I decided to sketch again. I want to thank you for your teachings! This will make my life so much easier.

I am a 69 year old senior woman, who stumbled on this as I searched for videos because I want to learn to draw faces. I'm planning to practice this a few times so I can get the basics down and then I want to look for more of your videos. I've watched a few tutorials on YouTube and yours is by far the best. You're a great teacher and I appreciate that you've broken this down to very basic steps. I feel confident after this to learn more. Thank you!!!

I have never drawn a face before but I followed your tutorial and it turned out fantastic! I wish I could share it because I amazed myself. Great tutorial!! Thank you so much!!!

Thank you so much for posting this tutorial. It's the first time I ever drew a face that looked decent and I look forward to getting better with practice.

And I'm 67 years old and just now learning to draw. Thanks to this most instructive, easy to understand and follow video, I drew a fairly passable face on my first attempt. Thank you for sharing this with the rest of the world. (Edited to correct spelling).

i am 81 years old,i started taking art lessons last month,i always wanted to do caricatures, and drawing funny situations in cartoon form, I don't watch much tutorial drawings as i can't make out the accents of the teachers, but your are perfect as i can follow your instructions clearly.
