♡ How to Draw a Face -Side View! ♡

Hello , my loves .

Welcome back to my channel today .

I'm super excited because I have a new video for you all .

A new tutorial at that that has been highly requested and I will be teaching you all how to do the side profile .

This has been highly requested .

And I know you guys really , really want to know how I do this .

So I really hope that these techniques will be able to help you guys .

And yeah , let's get started with the video .

OK ?

My loves .

Before we start , we're gonna start with the tools that I'll be using .

First and foremost .

Of course , I'm using my prisma color color .

You guys , if you have already been on this channel for a really long time , you already know what this pencil is .

I use this pencil for sketching .

It's perfect .

So you can just get your sketch out and you know , not worry about making any mistakes .

And then afterwards you can just , you know , go over with your graphite pencil um because you know , you've already got all of your base of your sketch down .

So , you know , it just kind of helps you like get to know , like where you're going and everything .

So I definitely recommend this pencil .

Um If you are interested in a check out in my links below , I have this um the link to this pencil .

I love it so much y'all , y'all know that's my favorite sketching pencil .

So , um before we start , um that's what I'll be using and I'll also be using , you can use any graphite pencil , any mechanical pencil , any pencil that you want , anything that you're comfortable with .

But I'm going to start out with this sketching pencil .

So the first thing that we wanna do you guys is we wanna start out with our , our basic circle for the head .

OK ?

And we're gonna be doing the face this way .

Um So she's going to be facing towards the left .

So we're just gonna start out with that basic circle .

I'm using just very light strokes .

OK ?

And then the next thing we wanna do is we're going to place in her um place in like the nose area and the jaw area and everything .

So now that we have the circle , go ahead and make a line that goes out kind of like this just to kind of give you just a guide to show you .

This is the um end of the face right here .

I don't usually do that , but I don't know .

I'm just trying to figure out a way that it'll make it easier for , for you guys .

And then next , what I do is for um the nose , the nose will come out from like here and then the mouth area would be here and then the chin and everything would be around here .

So go ahead and just make like a shape like this .

You know , the beauty about this pencil is you can fix everything afterwards , everything that you don't like afterwards , you know , so like with this , you can , you know , um this part you can figure out like how far out you want to extend the nose or whatever , whatever is your , um , up to your preference .

And then usually where this part , um ends right here is where the ear would be .

So the air would be about right here .

OK ?

OK .

So now that we have the base down for this , what we wanna do now is figure out where the eyes would be .

So the eye would be at least , um , I would say at least a quarter inch or more away from the front part of the face here .

So go ahead and draw yourself out a nice little circle right here just so we know not really a circle but like more of an oval since it's from the side .

And what I like to do for the eye is that , um , for the bottom lid , I'll start it coming out from right here and then it'll be going to the top , the top lid from right here .

Ok .

And , you know , you can always fix , fix whatever you're not liking whatever proportions or whatever you don't like .

But this is just to give you a basic guideline because I already , right now , I don't really like this jaw part here and I'm gonna make the nose part a little bit smaller .

And I'm also going to bring this part in right here and then we're going to go ahead and draw the nose out .

Now , I didn't , I'm not going to make it this big .

So I said I'm going to do that over and then we're going to pull that down like that .

So I like this better .

OK .

So , um I decided to change the length of or , you know how far the nose extends out .

So I don't know , it's kind of a , this is a little bit harder explanation for the profile type way or whatever , but basically , it's just trial and error , you know .

So just now that you have this base of like , you know , it , it starts out like this , you know , with your circle and then you have this kind of shape , you feel me now that you have this , you can kind of just work with it .

Now you can , you know , um go ahead and , you know , figure out the proportions and what you don't like if you want the nose to come out this far , if you want the jaw to come out , come down this far or how you want it to , you know , you know , be as far as , you know , proportionate proportions and stuff .

So as for this , you know , you wanna make sure when you know , for the forehead , you wanna make sure that comes out a little bit so naturally that'll come out a little bit .

And then , um , of course , you know , you're not gonna keep this part like this , it's just the , the , um , guideline for it .

So I'm gonna go ahead and start carving out that nose .

So , um , an easy way to do this is go ahead and draw , draw a circle like a oval , not a , not a circle , an oval for the nose right here where that point is .

So you have guideline for that and then you'll go ahead and bring that in and then , ok , so now that we have the nose shape , um , and then we made that oval right here , ok ?

We wanna start bringing up that Cupid's bow .

So that'll be the start of the upper lip and then I'll go ahead and bring that part in .

Now , this part is up to you how big or small you want the lips to be and you can just draw a guideline for that here .

I'm making like a circle , another oval , oval shape right there and then go ahead and bring that top lip down and then go ahead and bring the bottom lip , that bottom lip down .

You know what I'm saying .

So then you can go ahead and erase those guidelines there .

So that won't confuse you anymore .

And um of course , I'm gonna change her nose a little bit going for my , then you see the beauty of it is you can just always change whatever you don't like .

And of course , you know , I gotta have some juicy lips because I like my juicy lips .

OK ?

So once we come to the bottom lip , we're gonna bring that um inward and down for the chin .

So the chain is gonna be of course , a little bit inward y'all .

I mean , let me tell you , it took me a while to figure out or , you know , get down profile views , you know , it is a challenge but go ahead and study those life references , you know what I'm saying , study them and just observe , you know , observe how it works the , the , the side of it .

OK ?

So let's go back to the eye .

No , not , let's not go back to the eye yet .

Let's go ahead and I'm gonna show you guys the , the rest that I do for the lips right here .

So now we've got her juicy lips in , I just go ahead and for her , you know , she's gonna be smiling because she's happy .

It's a happy day and then the top lip and yeah , I like that and then boom , there you go .

We got lips , boom , there we go .

So now that we have that , I'm gonna go on um back to the eyes now and for the eyes , the eye is not going to be a straight line like this , it's going to be protruding out a bit because it is an eyeball .

You know , you guys know when you go to the um the eye doctor and you see that like replica of it and it's , you know , it protrudes out a little bit , you know what I'm saying ?

And you know , this is all preference though .

If you want to make , you know , a different kind of eye or stylized eye or whatever , go ahead .

But um that's all preference .

And then , so I'm just gonna go ahead and just , you know , this is see , this part is just the , the part where it's up to you like whatever kind of eye that you want .

But this is just how I do the , you know , the base for my eye .

I'm gonna go ahead and , you know , draw them lashes in and stuff , but really , I don't have to do this , don't draw the lashes in yet .

You can wait and do that with the graphite pencil .

Ok ?

So now I'm gonna do that little um the eyelid fold or whatever kind of just makes it all like a little bit more realistic looking kind of , you know , pulls in that more realistic look when we add that lid .

So , you know , of course , you , you imagine that the eyeball is under here .

So of course , it's going to be a long that um I I um eyeball under the skin right there if that makes sense .

So , yeah .

Ok .

So you got your basic eye and then um as for the pupil part , you gonna wanna make sure that's like this .

Ok , something like that .

I just towards the side and then I'll go ahead and , but we don't have to worry about those details towards later anyways .

But , well , since I did that , you can go ahead and do that and then of course , you know , we can't forget the eyebrows or anything which are going to be around here and boom , better , boom .

We got some eyebrows .

All right .

All right .

So now that we have that , I'm gonna just go ahead and continue to draw the rest of the head .

OK .

So remember this part is gonna protrude out a little bit up here so you can go ahead and just lightly draw up the rest of the skull skull because you're gonna be , you know , drawing hair anyways .

You know what I'm saying ?

So um oh for this nose part , I'm gonna go ahead and erase that little oval part right there and then , and draw on the rest of her nose like that .

OK ?

You see it , boom .

OK .

So you wanna go ahead and start raising some of your guidelines and then I'm going to go on and draw some hair and I'm gonna just , you know , give her , give her some , you know , cute bangs or something .

Give her some like , you know , cute little bangs .

I'm a little rusty today , but it's OK .

I just wanted to show you guys the basics of it anyways and then go ahead and I'm gonna just finish drawing her here .

Kind of like this .

We're gonna give her , you know , we're gonna give her a cute little short hair style today .

So we have the side profile .

You guys that was um pretty , pretty um quick , little quick little technique .

I don't remember where I learned it from or if I came up with it , I don't , I don't think I came up with it , but um it , it took me some time to learn that technique because you guys profiles are like really hard for me and I just took my time and I studied it until I got it , you know , you know , give her , give her a cute little earring or something .

I'm gonna go ahead and show y'all how I do the , the shoulders .

So I , I put her little neck under her hair like this and OK , so if we have my side profile view , I hope that this was able to help you guys .

Um You know , after all this , of course , when you're done with your um sketch , you go in , if you haven't , if you've been using a pencil , that's fine .

Um OK , I'm actually gonna go in with a ballpoint pen instead of a pencil and I'm gonna go ahead and just line everything out for you guys and you know , put in all the details basically and I'm gonna go ahead and put this in time lapse , ok ?

So , yeah , here we go .

Alright , you guys .
