Drawing a girl’s face can be tricky, even for experienced artists. Fortunately, whether you want to draw a realistic girl’s face or a cartoon face, you can use reference lines and a step-by-step approach to help you succeed. Once you can successfully draw a girl’s face with guidelines, it will be easier to draw from photos and live models.
Draw an oval and divide it into 3 sections to make the head. Make the oval slightly rounder than you normally would since girls tend to have rounder faces than boys. To divide the oval into 3 sections, start by drawing a horizontal line through the center. Then, draw a second horizontal line through the halfway point between the first line you drew and the bottom of the oval.
- Dividing the face into sections will make it easier to get the proportions of the face right later on.
- Imagine that the face is on your eye level, and that you are looking directly in her eyes.
Draw the eyes on the top horizontal line. Girls have all kinds of eye shapes, but generally, they’re drawn with larger and rounder eyes than boys are. Center the eyes on the horizontal line so the line runs through the center of each eye. Also, make the distance between the inner corner of each eye the same length as one eye. If you were to draw a third eye between the 2 eyes, it should fit perfectly.
