How To Draw Real Face Sketch

Hey there! Are you someone who loves capturing the beauty of the world through art? If yes, then you definitely must have tried drawing faces too! Drawing faces is one of the most intricate arts, but if you follow the right techniques, then it can be simple. In this post, we will teach you how to draw a simple realistic face!

Before we start with the method, let us introduce you to the necessary tools. You will need:

• Paper or sketchbook
• Pencil
• Eraser
• Blending stump or cotton swabs

Now that you have everything you need, let’s begin with the steps!

Step 1: Sketch the Basic Outline

The first step in drawing a realistic face is to sketch the basic outline. Draw a circle for the head, with a vertical and horizontal line crossing through the middle of it. This will help you align the facial features properly.

Step 2: Draw the Eyes

Next, draw the oval shape for the eyes, keeping them aligned with the horizontal line that you drew earlier. Draw the iris and the pupil inside the eyes. Remember that the eyes don’t sit flat on the face, so make sure to draw them ‘above’ the cheekbones.

Step 3: Sketch the Nose

Draw a triangular shape for the nose, with the base of the triangle sitting on the horizontal guideline. Sketch the nostrils and the nose bridge within the triangle shape.

Step 4: Draw the Mouth

For the mouth, draw a straight line through the middle of the face. Then, draw two parallel lines underneath it, which will be the lips. Sketch the upper lip to be thinner than the lower lip and draw the corners of the lips slightly downwards.

Step 5: Draw the Hairline

Sketch the hairline around the face, keeping in mind the shape of the face and the size of the forehead.

Step 6: Add Details to the Eyes

Now, add details to the eyes. Draw the eyelashes and define the iris and the pupil further. Then, sketch the eyebrows just above the eyes.

Step 7: Shade the Face

Using the blending stump or cotton swabs, shade the cheeks, forehead, and chin lightly. This will create a subtle depth to the face.

Step 8: Add Final Details

The final step is to draw the details of the hair and the ears. Pay attention to the size and positioning of the ears. Add any other details that you think will enhance the realism of your drawing!

Voila! You have just drawn a simple realistic face. Now that you know the basics, you can experiment and add your own style to the drawing.

If you want to take your skills to the next level, here are a few tips to keep in mind:

• Use a reference photo for the shape and features of the face
• Draw lightly with your pencil, and erase the guidelines once you have completed the drawing
• Pay attention to the proportions of the face and features
• Practice regularly to improve your skills

We hope that you found these tips helpful! Happy drawing!
