Steps

1- A lot of people have trouble drawing faces. There are many different ways. Here's one way.

1. 2
   Focus on the head. Is it oval-shaped? Is it more of a circle? Now that you have the picture in your head, try drawing the head.
   
   
   
2. 3
   Draw the hair. Picture it in your mind. Is it fluffy? Or is more smooth? You should draw detailed lines. If it is fluffy, you'll probably want curved lines inside the hair for detail lines. If it is smooth you'll probably want straight lines.
   
   
   
3. 4
   Think about the smile. Does the person show his or her teeth? Or just the lips? If it is a girl who just shows her lips you could do a sort of flat hump on both sides of the upper lips. But not on the bottom lips.
   
   
   
4. 5
   For the eyes, draw two circles a little bit apart. If your person is a girl, add eyelashes. If it's a boy, add more defined eyebrows.
   
   
   
5. 6
   For the nose, draw a straight line down. Add a semi-circle (half a circle) from the bottom of the straight line.
   
   
   
6. 7
   Add any details that match your person.
   
   
   
7. 8
   Draw some shades on the head if it's a girl. Put two circles or squares.
   
   
   
8. 9
   If they have freckles draw dark shaded shapes on the face. This will give a better effect. Also freckles are a sign of beauty.

Alternate Method

1. 1
   First you draw an oblong or oval. Then draw a line that splits it in half sideways. Then another line that splits that half in half. Draw your lines lightly as they are just guides and will be erased later.
   
   
   
2. 2
   Add Your eyes, evenly spaced, almond shape, along the top line. Nose on the second line. And mouth on the third line.
   
   
   
3. 3
   And then you can draw her/his hair, any kind of hairstyle you want.
   
   
   
4. 4
   Start adding details in the eyes, eyebrows, chin line, hair,and neck.
   
   
   
5. 5
   You can color your drawing and just color any colors you want.
