How to Draw People | Head Shapes and Face Placement

In today’s beginner-friendly tutorial, we’re drawing people the easy way by looking at head shapes and face placement. We’ll start with simple watercolor shapes, then use a fineliner, marker, and colored pencil to turn them into expressive little people doodles. This is a great practice if you want to get more comfortable drawing faces, characters, kids, and adults in a loose, approachable style.

Want more help drawing people? My HOW TO ILLUSTRATE PEOPLE eCourse walks you through faces, characters, and full portraits step by step.
