how to draw the face in 3/4 angle plus eyes, nose & mouth | step by step tutorial

In this video I will show you a step by step process of how to draw different faces in a 3/4 angle view using only basic shapes, easy to understand guidelines and the helpful tool that is a make-up sponge. I also included how to draw the eyes, nose, mouth and other facial features. I also walk you through simple changes you can make to these shapes and lines to customise of each portrait drawing you create. For example, big round eyes, almond shaped eyes, downturned eyes, monolid and much more. With simple shapes and lines, you can create your very own portrait drawings.

Seeing your process with the circle and triangle is so eye-opening. I never really did anything to indicate the bottom half of the face (triangle in your case). Usually I'd just draw more circles where the cheeks are and for the chin and then draw the outline of the face with all those circles as guides. But the triangle!!! Is so much more helpful! It's a much better guideline especially in imagining the shape/angles of the face. It honestly blew my mind when you drew the triangle for the quarter turn with the left side being shorter than the right side, because I immediately visualized a perfectly drawn face shape along the lines of the circle and triangle.


Sorry for the wall of text, but I am just in awe with how this magical triangle will have simplified my drawing process in the future. Thank you!! :D

Great tutorial, you have a great way of simplification for the proportions, thank you, helped me a lot

[anjanireddy]

6:40 can u please post that kind of tutorial too!!! I would be really helpful

[micpena]

This was so helpful! I've been drawing since I was a kid but faces had always been my weakness because I could never get the proportions right. This was 100% very insightful and I feel like I had unlocked a new skill

I have been struggling with the Loomis method, crying for the past 3 months ;( and then I found you <3 KEEP EM COMING, LOVE <3

[daemienengelbrecht]

I'm so glad that there is a different method than the Loomis method, and it's so relieving!

Omg having the digital version makes this soooo much easier to understand and visualize, thank you SO MUCH

[Toruk_Makto]

I LITERALLY CRIED BECAUSE THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER MADE A GOOD 3/4 FACE FOR MY CHARACTER TYSMMMM

[robertseifert]

Great video. I especially liked the use of the oval to get the cheeks in the right place. You have a different strategy than the Loomis method, but it looked just as effective.

[numpty_one]

This is the only video that I’ve seen that is actually helpful so props to you! 💖

What a GREAT idea using the triangle as a guide for the chin and jaw line! That little trick was game a changer for me. I can now draw my faces with consistently . THANK YOU! Subscribed!
