Here are some tips for drawing side profiles:
- Lightly sketch the basic oval shape of the head first before adding facial features.
- Pay close attention to how the nose protrudes from the face. Draw the nose at about eye level.
- The ear should line up with the eyebrow, nose, and bottom lip. Make sure to draw the ear in the right position.
- Show the curve of the neck below the jawline. Indicate the outline of the shoulders below the neck.
- Use light lines to sketch the basic shapes before going over them with darker, bolder lines.
- Render shadows and shading to give the portrait depth and realism. Shade the side of the face that would be in shadow.
Practicing side profiles will help you learn facial proportions and how features are positioned from that angle. Take your time observing real faces in profile for accuracy in your drawings.
