This easy to follow Dover guide, with its step by step diagrams, makes it a snap to learn the basics of sketching the human face.

By combining circles, ovals, squiggly lines, and other shapes, aspiring artists can create realistic portraits of young girls modeling a variety of hairstyles and hats, boys and men in cowboy and baseball caps; curly-haired babies, a man with a beard; a bald man with a mustache; older men and women; as well as profiles and three-quarter views of faces.

Not only are the faces fun to draw, they'll also help beginners master the basics of shape development and understand the fundamentals of form and dimension.
