Step 1: As in the other tutorial, start out by sketching a circle that is slightly wider than it is tall.
Step 2: Draw a curved line straight down from the face and stop about half a circle's length down.
TIP: Some of these measurements are hard to grasp, just look at the pictures for some ideas. If you mess up, we can always fix it later on. Things don't have to be exactly perfect. That's why Joseph Priestley invented erasers.
Step 3: Draw a curved line from the point of the chin to the opposite side of the circle. Draw another smaller circle where the lines meet. This will be the ear.
Step 4: Draw two horizontal lines from the top of the ear and the bottom of the ear. Once again, a straight edge may be used. Draw a nose in between the two lines. Now, this doesn't have to be a perfect nose right yet. We're not quite done with it.
Step5: Next draw the outline of the eye and a small dash where the mouth will be.
Step 6: Now we're going to start adding some details. Trace the ouside of the eye to make the lashes and draw a little dash about it for an eyelid. Erase the inside curve of the ear so that it's not a circle anymore and add the inner details. Now we can erase those two pesky horizontal guidelines.
Step 7: Our face is a little flat right now. Next, you'll need to curve out the forehead and chin while indenting the area right above the nose. This is one of the harder steps so look closely at the picture to see what I mean. Also, don't forget to add the shape of the lips.
Step 8: Start finishing up the eye by adding the shine and erase any guidelines that might be left.
Step 9: Finally, draw in the eyebrows and the pupils of the eye. Also, don't forget to make a line for the lips. The line for the nostril is optional. It's all a matter of personal taste. Now, we have a finished profile view. I hope this helped!
TIP: Remember that when you're learning to draw from tutorials, you're not limited to what they teach you. If you think something looks weird you can change it to your own preference or just skip it completely. Tutorials basically serve as a skeleton for the artwork to be built off from.
