I had lots of fun drawing the face of this old cowboy with the big mustache and the big hat.
Start with a lightly drawn outline. Make the outline by drawing a circle and a square shape for the jaw. Mark lightly reference lines for the eyes, nose, and mouth. The eyes are halfway from the crown of the head to the chin.
Make reference marks for the outside and inside of the eyes. Pay attention that you don’t make them too close or too wide apart, and they are even. Draw the two circles for the eyes.
Shape the ears like large peanuts.
The mustache is big. It is like a rainbow; it covers all upper lip, so only part of the lower lip shows.
The lower lip is shaped like a “W” but more rounded.
The nose is a big letter “U” dipping over the mustache. Just outline the mustache for now; keep it simple and white. Round off the jaw.
Develop the eyes and features of the face. Add the coat; the collar comes right up to the ears. Erase the reference lines.
Outline the hat keep it simple and low over the forehead.
Draw eyelids over the eyes. Add eyebrows.
Continue to add details and shadows. Remember, the source of the sun and the shade is opposite. Add some balancing dark areas on the other side, like in the background or the jacket; it is your drawing, so do it any way you want. I drew mine with a fine tip marker and gray marker pens, but you can use any medium. If you use colored pencils, remember to make his face sunburned but keep the mustache white with only a little shadow on the shady side.
