Proportions Video: Proportions of The Head Made Easy 🎥

Learn how to place the features of the human head accurately using proportions and simple shapes. In this portrait drawing tutorial, I’ll show you how to take basic head proportions and build the eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and other facial features on top of them.

The key is learning two skills: first, simplifying the face into basic shapes; and second, accurately placing those shapes in relation to one another. Once you can do both, drawing a realistic portrait becomes much easier and more systematic.

In this video, we’ll work through a portrait drawing from construction to finished features, focusing on:
• How to draw the human head using proportions
• How to simplify the face into basic shapes
• How to place facial features correctly
• Eye placement and eye proportions
• Nose placement and nose proportions
• Mouth placement and facial proportions
• Ear placement
• Facial landmarks and measurements
• Head construction for portrait drawing
• How to draw a face accurately from reference
• How to improve portrait proportions
• How to draw realistic faces
• How to construct the human face step by step

This is part of my long-form portrait drawing series, where I break down the skills behind drawing realistic people and make difficult drawing concepts feel simple.

If you’ve ever struggled with getting the eyes, nose, and mouth in the right place—even when your individual features look good—this lesson is for you.
