Drawing a 3\/4 face may seem like a daunting task, but with enough practice, patience, and confidence, anyone can create a stunning portrait. It just takes a bit of know-how and a willingness to experiment and make mistakes. <\/p>\n

First, decide which angle to render the face. To draw the face from a 3\/4 view, keep the face slightly angled, then draw the eyes, nose and mouth in their relative positions. Sketch the shape of the jaw line, the cheeks, and the ears. As you draw, it’s important to make sure the distances and proportions are correct. This might take some trial and error, but it will ensure the final result is accurate.<\/p>\n

Next, begin adding the details to your drawing. Use the lightest value to shade the face. This will give the portrait a natural look. Choose a medium value to add definition to the face. Pay special attention to the eyes and mouth. Give depth to the eyes by adding strokes and use a darker value to add shadowing. Add the lips and nose, paying attention to the minor details like nostrils and lip size. <\/p>\n

When shading the face, use cross-contour lines to indicate the structure of the face. These lines should go in the direction of the facial features. If your subject has cheekbones, apply medium-toned hatching along the sides. Finally, go over the drawing with the darkest value to finish the drawing. <\/p>\n
