Today I’ll show you how to draw a realistic woman’s face from the side view. This profile view is of a beautiful female’s face and I guide you through the drawing process by using simple geometric shapes, alphabet letters, and numbers. You can do this…drawing heads has never been so easy.

Ok, to no extent am I a good drawer but, I just found out ON MY OWN that if you barely graze to paper to the point your lead is hardly touching. Then, shade the whole thing and erase around your figure it gives it darker skin!
