If you want to draw lifelike portraiture, knowing how to draw facial features is essential. Below, artist and instructor Lee Hammond shares tips and techniques for drawing realistic faces with graphite pencil, excerpted from her book, Lee Hammond’s All New Big Book of Drawing.

In this step-by-step guide, Lee 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 facial features: Eyes, Ears, Mouth and Nose in this easy tutorial.

Drawing Noses Two Ways
The nose is the least complicated feature and most closely resembles the sphere, as noted. The five elements of shading are easy to see. It is important to learn to draw the facial features in different poses.

These straight-on and profile views of the nose will give you ample practice. Follow the steps to draw a nose in both views.

Straight-on View
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. Be sure to refer to the sphere.

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.

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. Be sure to refer to the sphere.

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.

Drawing Male and Female Mouths / Lips
Drawing a mouth can be a challenge, but you can draw realistic lips when you break the process into simple steps. Follow along to create a full, realistic mouth and avoid making simple mistakes, like defining hard edges, that beginning artists tend to make.

When studying the mouth, you will notice the upper lip is usually smaller and will appear darker than the bottom lip. It creates an M shape.

There are differences between male and female lips. Female mouths are much more defined and seem fuller and shinier. The edges of male lips are more subtle and are described by the shadows around them more than the edges themselves.

Drawing Lips | Female
1. Create a Line Drawing
Use the grid method and a mechanical pencil to create a line drawing of female lips.
