have drawn the hair.

Step 2

Mark some very faint guide lines with a pencil and ruler.

Step 3

Draw the eyes.

Step 4

Draw the nose.

Step 5

Draw the mouth.

Step 6

Draw the eyebrows.

Step 7

Step 9

Go over the lines of the oval that isn't covered by hair. Erase the faint guide lines and the oval

lines that are covered by hair.

Step 10

Colour in the face. Don't forget to add the pupils in the eyes and any freckles or other details on

the face.
