Now depict the nose. Start with the nose bridge, then outline the tip of the nose and nostrils. Their form can also repeat the sketch from the artists of Easydrawingart.com or come up with another form.

Now let’s portray the mouth. Using the dash from the third stage, first, depict the central line of the mouth and then the lips. Their shape may also differ from that depicted by us.

Now let’s portray the jaw. First, with the help of two curved lines, depict the cheekbones, then form the jaw as the artists of Easydrawingart.com did.

Using a pair of smooth lines, depict the contours of the ears, then smoothly depict the lines of cartilage inside the ears. The top tip should be at the level of the eyebrows and the bottom at the level of the tip of the nose.

Now put the pencil aside and take an eraser to wipe off all auxiliary lines from the head drawing. Circle the artwork with a darker pencil or ink.
