How to draw a face step by step and teach it by hand?
Methods/steps

1. First of all, the most fundamental thing is to understand the bone structure first, which helps to understand the position of the five senses.

2. Knowing the texture direction of every muscle in the face has an influence on the later sketch. Even if you draw a smooth face, you need to know the muscle direction to draw it correctly.

3. Each of us has different aesthetics and different recognition of beauty and handsomeness. In all the works we have seen, many characters express their subjective style by enlarging or optimizing their five senses in their own accumulation. Therefore, when discussing how to draw a good face, we should first learn it in a standardized way, instead of targeting any painter or painting style first. Whether it's realism, comics or Q version, we must lay a good foundation first, only the foundation is solid.
Can be arbitrarily evolved into the above-mentioned styles. So before we know other people's works, we need to know the most basic knowledge.
The most traditional "three courts and five eyes" is the most standard symmetrical face. At present, this standard is most commonly used in beauty pageants around the world to identify the proportion of candidates' faces, but the beauty and ugliness chosen are different because of everyone's aesthetics. No matter what looks are balanced, most of them are good-looking and pleasing to the eye.

4. After understanding the five eyes of the above three hospitals, you can start to extend various face shapes, and you can also make different attempts and performances. For example, the oriental facial features are not as stereoscopic as those of westerners, especially the height of the nasoeyebrow muscle above the bridge of the nose, which is a traditional "mountain root" and can be clearly distinguished. And the eye socket is deeper.
Nowadays, many painters are more and more fond of painting orientals in a three-dimensional way. The combination of oriental femininity and westerners' three-dimensional characteristics makes the characters more beautiful. This is a subjective expression based on understanding, melting and variation. Of course, according to people's appearance, the position of the five senses will be different to some extent.

Based on the above knowledge, let's cut into the finished product. Next, we need to combine sketch, color, light and shadow to reflect the characters.
1) draft
2) Simply change the color and set a background color at will to highlight the people.

The influence of light and shadow on people's faces must be mentioned here. It can be used to highlight the psychology of characters, coax and drag the atmosphere, and of course it will also affect the aesthetic feeling of characters. Children's shoes, especially those who like to take selfies, will certainly understand the truth. If the facial features are flat, the appropriate light source will also make the facial features appear three-dimensional in the photo.

3) Locate the light source. I used the fifth light direction in the above picture. Then paint your face and polish it. Painting faces needs to be directional. The muscle texture we mentioned in the second step is a very important link at this time. It will be more obvious on men's faces, less on women's faces, and different age factors will have different texture shades. The face of a male character is more masculine, and the strokes in the writing direction can be more obvious.

4) Adjust the pattern while covering the line. At this time, it is necessary to combine light, shadow and color through intensive practice. Start coloring around the main light according to the light above. Now she looks like a woman without makeup, so we need to apply makeup to her, which will add luster.

5) I chose the now popular "Sleeping Silkworm Makeup", then strengthened the light and shadow, and strengthened and softened the structure step by step while adjusting. The face of a female character should not have too many obvious structures, otherwise it will look old. The depth of contour structure can also be used to emphasize age. Now I'm drawing an adult woman. I designed her mouth to open the corners of her mouth, which looked like she was talking to the front. At this time, the upper lip muscles will lift slightly. But we can't overemphasize this muscle, and the next one will become a decree mode.

6) After adjusting the overall color light source and structure. Personal walking is very simple, but it needs to be skillfully combined with all kinds of knowledge.
After practicing the above foundation, you can boldly and freely extend other styles and expressions. Various deformation methods are called "painting style". No matter what kind of face, the ultimate goal is to make the five senses reach a balanced state by considering the length of the face and the size of the eyes. When considering balance, observing a painting style can generally be seen from the eyes of the same size in the head, but it is very difficult to see all painting styles with the same law. Therefore, only by practicing and working hard can we find a balance that looks good.
