Human Face Cuts

Description:

In this tutorial you will learn a basic and easy trick for drawing human faces. There are 3 points to be followed. Below some face examples are provided that I made for learning and give an idea to be implemented on any human face design.

You can download source file here.

Example:

Lets get started:

Step 1:

1. Before drawing the human face, you must learn the trick of smoothness, you can achieve it using bezier tool and by reshaping it using reshape tool. In bezier tool you will have two drawing points.

Rectangular
Ellipse Type

The rectangular points are provided to fix the angle and the edges. The ellipse type points are provided to make it more smooth and soft, to clear the edges.

See the following image and try to make a line like below using reshape tool:

Step 2:

1. Bezier tool has a rule, if you will end the mouse point (while drawing) over where you started, it will give you a solid shape, you will be able to choose a color or gradients for that. Otherwise if you will end the mouse point on any other angle, it will be simply a line.

2. The human face-cuts always have 3 points. 1st, 2nd & 3rd.

1st: Defines forehead.
2nd: Defines Cheeks.
3rd Defines the angle of lips between the lips and chin.

3. Follow the 1st line to 2nd and similarly to 3rd just like below:

Step 3:

1. Draw the face using the above trick, see the following image:

Step 4:

1. To draw a human face, you will need a light colour for the base and a bit dark version of that colour for the outline and curves. You can apply the above trick on any face, using this trick I have made the following examples:

Usage:

If there is any mistake that you can't handle on the face, it can be simply covered with eyes, lips and hair. Here is the example of human face:

Hope it helps.
