I think my strongest drawing ability is drawing faces. Here is my advice on how to draw them. Step 1: Get a photo of your subject
Step 2: Identify and draw the major lines
Step 3: Add in other features This is where I draw in the eyes and the mouth. You can also add in other minor facial details here. Step 4: Draw in the hair and clothes The hair and clothes are much freer than the facial features. Hair moves and clothes have unique wrinkles. You don't need to base this off of the photo, however if you aren't yet familiar with drawing clothes and hair then you may want to draw the shapes of the locks of hair and the wrinkles and folds in the clothes as they appear in the picture. As you can see I didn't draw the hair and clothes exactly as they appear in the picture, but I did take inspiration from their general shapes in the photos. Step 5: Final details and color Add in your final details to your drawing and color it! Depending on what style you're going for, you might want to color it in different ways. Here are a few. For more on faces, I learned a lot from Christopher Hart's books Figure It Out: Human Proportions and
Figure It Out: The Beginner's Guide to Drawing People.
