Step-by-step drawing for children 5 6. Drawing a baby: portrait and full-length

In this lesson we will look at how to draw small children, study the structural features of a child's head and draw his face.

How to draw children. Facial proportions in children.

To draw a child’s face you need to know certain principles of structure that are different from adults. Proportion is the ratio of one component of a drawing to another. By using the right guidelines, portraits of children look exactly like children, and not like mini-adults. To do this, you must know two basic conditions. It refers to the lower part of the human head, called the face or facial area, and to brain section the skull at the top of the head, called the cranium.

In the first picture below, you can clearly see how the baby's face is in proportion to the skull. Notice the lines that visually separate the head into sections (like pieces of a pie). With the exception of the cervical region, the head is divided into four and a half segments. The child's face occupies only one section, and the cranium occupies all other head shapes (shape refers to the outer contour). Thus, a child's skull is more than three times larger than his face.

The most common mistake beginners make when trying to draw a portrait of a child is to make the face too large in relation to the size of the skull. Next, it is necessary to emphasize how proportionate the tiny face of a child is in comparison with the skull of an adult’s head. The head of an adult is divided into three parts (excluding the cervical region). The face is in one part, and the skull is in the other two. The adult skull is twice the size of the facial region.

There are children's faces various forms and sizes, but the construction of most is the same. How to draw portraits of children so that you get a realistic representation of how tiny their faces really are. Scheme of face size, head proportions. This is the key for correct drawing portraits of children.

In the figure below you can see that the child’s head, including his ears, is placed inside the circle. The shape of the head is similar to that of an egg, but much shorter. Notice that the tiny face is below the horizontal line in the middle of the circle. In profile (side view), only the chin and tiny parts of the upper lip protrude from the circle.

Next time you draw a child, take the time to carefully examine the head and proportional features. First of all, take into account the attitude small face compared to the size of the skull, as well as the location of the eyes, nose, mouth and ears.

Note also the tiny neck of the baby compared to the size of the head. No need to wonder why little children can't hold their heads up on their own! Look carefully at the child's profile drawing in the picture. Notice the five horizontal lines:
AB is in the middle between top part head and chin.
CD is midway between AD and EF.
EF is midway between AB and IJ.
GH is midway between EF and IJ.
The IJ is located at the bottom of the bone in the chin (lower jaw) rather than at the bottom of the soft tissue under the chin. Babies usually have what is commonly called a "double chin."

Remember the location of the baby's face parts in relation to five lines:
Eyebrows: are on line AB.
Eyes: located between lines AB and CD.
Nose: located between the CD and EF lines.
Mouth: located between the EF and GH lines.
Chin: straight IJ line.
We got acquainted with the basic principles of drawing children.

Now we will see how to draw a child’s face (portrait) step by step.

Let's join me in a fun exercise where you draw a baby's face in proportion to the size of the head. Find some drawing paper, let the sharpener sharpen your pencil, and find a ruler!

1) Draw a square and divide it into four equal parts. The size of your square will determine the size of your baby's head. Mine is a very tiny 5" x 5", but you can make your square larger. The four smaller squares will help you create accurate proportions when drawing your baby's face and head.

2) Draw a circle in the bottom left square to show the size of the baby's face. The bad news is that no lesson can teach you how to draw a circle. The good news is that practice is a great teacher. In other words, you learn how to draw a circle by hand, the more practice, the better. Some useful tips include:

- turn the paper and look at your drawing with different points vision. This little trick often allows you to see problem areas;

- Look at the reflection of your circle in the mirror to help you see areas that need fixation.

3)Draw big circle V original square to represent the size of a child's head. The goal is to draw the profile of the child's face in proportion to the size of his or her head. When you see the size of the face represented as a small circle and the head as a large circle, you may be quite surprised at what the baby's face actually looks like!

4) Draw the shape of the face in a narrow circle.

5) Draw curved lines of the baby's head.

6) Draw the outline of the ear in the bottom right square.

7) Draw the eyes, nose and mouth, and add details to the ear.

8) Erase your entire drawing with a soft eraser until the sketch lines are barely visible.

9) Erase the outlines of the squares and circles.

10) Draw barely visible hair, erasing part of the contour of the face and neck. Be patient! Do the lesson step by step, relax, you should not be overloaded! Constantly check my drawing, correct small details and adjust proportions.

Shading of the face and hair.

Portraits of children should be shaded (shaded) in soft tones and without too much contrast. This helps keep their faces soft. Shading means to apply different shades gray, which allow the drawing to appear three-dimensional. Contrast measures the degree of difference between light and dark tones, and creates the illusion of three-dimensional space on a sheet. Tones are created when you draw strokes with a pencil, changing the density between the lines, changing the pressure on the pencil and using pencils of different softness.

11) Add shading to the child's face, using different tones.

12) Add shading for the eyes, nose and mouth. The pupil of the eye has the darkest tone. The pupil is the dark circle inside the iris. The iris is a large circular shaped eye that varies in color from very light to very dark. Don't forget to leave a white spot (highlight) to make the eye look shiny. The highlight is the tiny bright spot where the light reflects off the shiny surface of the eye.

13) Darken the face and neck area using a 2B pencil. The baby's shape is tiny compared to the size of the head. Shade areas of the face that receive little or no light.

14) Use shading with HB and 2B pencils to add shading to the ear.

15) Add shading to the hair using HB and 2B pencils. See two images below. The soft parts of the hair are drawn as short curved lines. Pay attention to the hair tones.

See below, the baby's face profile portrait is complete and you can make any changes if you want. As you can see, the baby's head is indeed three times larger than his cute face.
