Basic Ratios

There are certain basic principles for drawing faces, whether male or

female. Here, we get an understanding of the various fundamental

ratios of human faces before drawing them from various angles.

Ratios in a face viewed from the front

These are the ratios you will need to master in order to sketch a face from the front.

Critical Point

Degrees of distortion

The degree to which a face is distorted

depends on how much detail is given to

its parts and how effectively the shadows

created by the bone structure and hollows

are replicated. It’s important to decide on

the style of drawing you want and to what

extent you want to distort it.

Examples of distortion

Helpful Hint

Parts that look more realistic with shadows added

It’s standard practice to add shadows to the sides of

the nose and between the lips and chin.
