Humans are arguably the most difficult subjects to draw realistically. Read on to discover the rules for drawing realistic faces as well as realistic figures.
Step
Method 1 of 2: Semi-Realist Human
Step 1. Draw a circle or oval depending on the type of face you want to draw
Step 2. Draw a rough horizontal and vertical line through the center of the circle
Step 3. Draw a small chin line under the circle
The distance between the circle and the chin line is equal to the radius of the circle.
Step 4. Connect the end points of the chin line with the circle to form the jawline
Step 5. Now we will create the most important and interesting part of the face
Eye. To make an eye you need to roughly draw a small circle in the center of the main circle or oval drawn in step 1. Draw 2 that are the same size on each side: left and right. The two sides must touch each other.
Step 6. Now give shape to the eyes
To create attractive female eyes, draw long, curled eyelashes.
Step 7. Next the nostrils
The base of the nose is the center of the eyes and chin.
Step 8. Draw a small lip line through the center of the nostrils and the chin
Draw a small curve under the lip line to give the impression of a lower lip. Then put a shadow on the upper lip.
Step 9. To create the eyebrows, make a small inverted triangle from the middle of the two eyes
Follow the reference drawing eyebrows on both sides.
Step 10. The ears are created by following the shape of the eyebrows and the tip of the nose
Step 11. Lastly, hair
Draw a hairline above the eyes. The hairline distance is equivalent to the distance from the eyes to the tip of the nose. Draw the partition lines and give strokes for the hair.
Step 12. Give the final touch to the image
Erase the unwanted lines and darken some areas to give life to the image.
Method 2 of 2: Realistic Human
Step 1. Start again drawing the outline of the face/face structure
Divide his face into two parts.
Step 2. JAW - For a realistic design, the jaw structure should be slightly squared
Draw with a flat line below with a slash to the side.
Step 3. EYES - For the eyes, they are slightly square, with extra lines above and below the eyes to make them look more realistic
Step 4. NOSE – A straight line in the middle and nostrils on both sides
You can use a round shape for the nostrils or an angular shape.
Step 5. LIPS - The two darker end points are connected by a straight line
Add an extra small line under the lips.
Step 6. Brows - make a small upside down triangle from the middle of both eyes
Follow the reference drawing eyebrows on both sides.
Step 7. EARS - Ears are created by following the shape of the eyebrows and the tip of the nose
Step 8. Finish the face with eyebrows, wig hairline to make your character look more semi-realistic
Step 9. Give the final touch to the image
Erase unwanted lines and darken certain areas to give life to the image.
