* A Beginner’s Guide to Drawing Facial Features If you want to draw lifelike portraiture, knowing how to draw facial features is essential, you need to follow below tips and techniques for drawing realistic faces with graphite pencil. In this step-by-step guide, I will teach you how to recreate every aspect of your model’s face: the eyes, nose, cheeks, and mouth. So you understand where we’re heading in this tutorial, here’s our finished product first
* Learning to Draw Facial Features. Now, before you can draw an entire face, you must first learn to draw each of the facial features individually. Only by taking one feature at a time can you learn the anatomy well and understand what to look for and what to capture in your drawing.
*Drawing Noses Two Ways
1. Create a Line Drawing Use the grid method and a mechanical pencil to create a line drawing of a nose in a straight-on view.
2. Develop the Lights and Darks First and foremost, when you are sure of your accuracy, carefully remove the grid lines with a kneaded eraser. Then, develop the patterns of light and dark with a pencil. Start by drawing a sphere to learn lifelike shading and facial curves.Second, add reflected light along the edges of the nose and the rim of the nostril. Add a shadow edge under the tip of the nose to make it look rounded. Place cast shadows under the bottom edge of the nose
3.Blend After you add your light and dark tones, blend them smooth with a stump or tortillion. Very little of the drawing should be left white. Many artists will leave skin tones too light, but only the highlights should be as white as the paper. Be sure to blend out from the dark areas into the lighter face area, just like you did in the sphere exercise. This makes it appear real

1. Create a Line Drawing Use the grid method and a mechanical pencil to create a line drawing of a nose from a side view.
2. Develop the Lights and Darks When you are sure of your accuracy, carefully remove the grid lines with a kneaded eraser then develop the patterns of light and dark with a pencil. Once again, be sure to refer to the sphere exercise to render the tonal value variations of light shining.
3. Blend Blend the tones smooth with a stump or tortillion. Use the dark tones behind the nose to make the edges stand out.Lighting is crucial. The dark background makes this example look very different from the previous one
