Here are a few tips and guidelines to make your faces look more realistic and able to show more expression. You will also learn some tricks to draw more accurate portraits of yourself and your friends.

The first thing to remember is that the face is part of the head. In fact, the face makes up just a quarter of the head. To draw the head almost every artist starts by drawing an oval, and then they either visually measure or make a faint mark to indicate the halfway point of the oval lengthwise. That halfway mark, or center line of the oval, is where the eyes of the face will be. Specifically, that line will be the center of the eyes, and will intersect the irises.

Next, draw the eyebrows just a bit above where the eyes will be, leaving room for the full eye and a bit of eyelid. Keep in mind that the eyebrows are usually wider than the eyes, though if you are doing a stylized face the eyebrows can be shorter and more arched than they would be naturally. You may cover the ears up with hair, but you should still know where they are. Even if you can draw one or two lines to suggest where the ears are, or use the ears as a reasonable way to pull the hair back from the face, it's a good idea to show at least one of them, especially if you are drawing a man or a boy.
