My how-to-draw worksheets are free, and you may print as many as you like. I only ask that if you are able that you consider making a small contribution to support my art. Thank you.
If you have problems printing the worksheet, see the how to print tab above for some helpful tips.
You may want to print the project notes below, too.
BEGINNING STEPS
Start with a basic oval or egg shape for the head. User reference lines to place the features evenly. One reference line down the middle helps to keep things from getting too right or left. The eyes are halfway between the top of the head and the chin. The nose is halfway from the eyes to the chin, and the mouth is halfway from the nose to the chin. The ears are no higher than the eyes and no lower than the moth.
Get the face right before you start the hair, crown, or jewelry.
EYES
The eyes had heavy makeup but don't put it in until you have the eyes looking good first. They arch over the top and are slightly curved on the bottom. The eyebrow is as long as the eye. The eyes are about as far apart as they are wide. So if the eyes are two inches wide, the space between them should also be two inches.
NOSE
Keep the nose simple. It is more shadow and shape, and there are not many lines.
MOUTH
The width of the mouth reaches to the pupil of the eyes. Her lips are full, and the top lip is more shadow than the bottom lip, and the bottom lip has a shadow underneath.
FUN STUFF
Save the fun stuff for last, like the crown, the snake in the crown, the hooped earrings, and the braided hair. The crown is part of a golden feathered headdress that sweeps out to the sides. Draw some guidelines first, so it doesn't get messy.
Add shadow to give her more realism.
