Gathering Supplies
Before beginning to draw a face tilted to the side, it is important to make sure you have the right supplies. For this, you will need a pencil, a sheet of paper, and an eraser. You may also want to use a ruler and a few colored pencils if you wish to add more details. It can also be helpful to look at a few reference photos of faces to get an idea of how they look. Once you have gathered your supplies, you are ready to start drawing.
Drawing the Outline
The next step is to draw the outline of the face. First, draw a circle for the head and then create a line for the jaw. You can then draw a line in the center to indicate the nose, and add two small circles for the eyes. Finally, use a curved line for the lips, and add two curved lines for the ears. Make sure to draw lightly, as you will erase some of the lines later.
Adding Details
Now that you have the basic outline, it is time to add some details. Start by defining the different shapes of the face and adding more details to the eyes, nose, and lips. You can also use a ruler to draw in the hair and the eyebrows. Drawing the hair in the direction of the tilt will help the face appear more natural. Finally, you can use colored pencils to add shadows and highlights to make the face look more 3-dimensional.
Erasing and Refining
Once you have added the details, you can start erasing the extra lines that you drew in the beginning. Make sure to erase any lines that are not necessary to the overall look of the face. You can also refine the details such as the eyes, nose, and lips. For example, you can make the eyes appear more realistic by adding small lines around them.
Adding the Background
The last step is to add the background. Depending on what you want the face to look like, you can decide if you want to add a simple background or a more detailed one. You can use the same colored pencils to create a gradient or you can use a marker to draw a landscape. Adding the background will help complete the drawing and make it look finished.
Final Touches
Once you have completed the drawing, you can make any final adjustments. You can use the eraser to refine any minor details, or you can use a pencil to add any extra lines or shadows. You can also use the colored pencils to add any color to the face or the background. Once you are happy with your drawing, you can display it proudly!
Drawing a face tilted to the side is a great way to practice your drawing skills and is a fun activity for all levels. With a few simple steps, you can create a beautiful drawing that you can be proud of. The most important part is to be patient and take your time, as it may take a few tries before you get a result that you are happy with. With practice, you will be able to create more and more realistic drawings!
