Male Faces
When drawing a male face, the same basic rules apply as to the female, with some
significant differences. The jawline is more chiseled, with sharper lines and a squared-
off base. The eyes also may be slightly smaller than those of a female, the mouth
slightly larger, and the neck wider.
MALE FRONT vIE w
Start with an oval for
the head, and bring
this to a squared-off
chin. Draw a central
vertical line to help
with positioning.Draw a horizontal
across the face and
position the eyes
across it. Add eye-
brows above the eyes,
and then position the
ears using the same
horizontal.Use your vertical line
as a guide for posi-
tioning the nose and
mouth. Then sketch
in a couple of lines to
suggest the contours
of the cheekbones.Add hair. Draw spiky
bangs across the front
of the head. Then cre-
ate the rest of the hair
from a point on the
crown out to the left
and right.Ink the main lines,
working the hair as a
single entity. Establish
the eyebrows with
two lines, and color
the pupils black
around the highlights.Now add color. Use a
pale pink for the face,
with darker shadows
in the ears. Give him
pale blue eyes, and
color the hair in two
shades of brown.
