MALE FACES


Here is the same face, but in profile. The features should all be in the same relative
positions as in the front view. Note how the brow juts out above the eye, and the
nose goes to a sharp point. The top lip should overhang the bottom slightly, and
the jaw should step up in angles to the ear.


MALE PROFILE


Start with a circle,
then draw a rough
triangle down to make
a pointed chin. Add a
vertical for the back of
the neck.

Refine the profile, giving
your figure a pointed
nose, small mouth, and
pointed chin.

Create a horizontal
around which to posi-
tion the visible eye and
ear. Add a double line
for the eyebrow, and a
couple of lines to sug-
gest the cheekbone.

Create the hair, work-
ing from a point on the
crown forward and
back to make a short,
spiky, cropped style.

Ink the main lines of your
sketch. Double-outline
the eye, and draw the
black pupil. Erase any
pencil lines as you no
longer need them.

His skin is pale pink,
with darker beige
areas of shadow in his
ears, under the bangs,
and under the chin.
Color his hair using
two shades of brown.
