The nose is located 2/3 of the way down the face. The brows are 1/3 , the bottom of nose 2/3 and the chin 3/3 (from hairline). The nose has two sides, an underside and a tip. Nostrils (the edge of the wings) line up with the corner of the eyes. Combine shadows under the nose. Do not paint black nostrils! If you must paint nostrils- they are more red than black.
The top lip will be darker than the lower lip. There is a bean shape by corners of mouth. The lips of made up of 5 pillowy shapes.
The mouth bulges out because of the teeth but never more than the nose. Nothing comes out further than the nose on the face. Teeth are hard to paint – if you must put in teeth they are very grey in color because they are in shadow- never white.
The ear is a hook shape. Block it in by drawing in straight lines. There is a “y” shape inside the ear and a bump outside it.
Ears are redder than the rest of the face. They are located from the brow to the nose on side of head.
For the neck/ shoulders- If you measure cheek to cheek this should be the approximate distance of each shoulder. For children their heads are bigger. On women the neck is thinner than on men. The trapezius muscle comes out of neck to shoulders. Collar bone is drawn in next. Draw through from one collar bone to the other so that they are even. Same with eyes- always draw through- don’t draw one and then draw the other.
