How to draw Face

Cheeks

Step 1 - Now work the cheek. To set the tone, you can use a pencil 3B or 4B for darker parts, and then spread to the stump for the lightest, using only dirt graphite from its tip. The important thing to remember is that almost everything in a drawing is done with gradients, light shades flowing in darker shades and vice versa. From what you can see, in general, the tones are becoming clearer as we approach the center of the "apples" of the face.

Step 2 - After the chin, again use the 3B for the darker shades such as jaw and edges and spread with the stump to the lightest. If the subject is smiling as is the case in my reference, there are folds in the skin, which will have a very sharp contrast tone. These folds will be darker.

Make sure you're doing all the jaw area darker than the highlights on both cheeks and nose. My light source is coming from above, and this causes a shadow under the nose. These shadows will always depend on where the light source comes! You can use this area in the shade a pencil 3B.

Step 3 - It is important, as you go down the design on the face, the hair follow the face, as if to leave any hair then you will have to rest your hand on the face now ready, and will cause loss of design quality! Nor do the hair too, at the risk of having to rest your hand on the hair done, when you continuing the design of the face.

Sometimes people complain that their designs are not clean, they are filled with blots, and the reason is this: Support the upper hand in places where graffiti has been applied.

Now I'm far enough with the hair on the left side and I can go back to work in the face.

Tip - The eraser pen is a useful tool to work on the hair. You can use it to put out small fly-away, adding detail and realism to the design.

Step 4 - We went back to work in the area of ​​the jaw and mouth, on the right side this time. We start at the bottom, the part with darker shades along the jawline, and not forgetting to accentuate the laugh lines and dimples. Continuing, do the same at other times, with a stump go subtly shading and keeping the light-dark gradient between the parties!
