BIG FAT WARNING NOTE:

NOT for the beginner, despite how simple this tutorial looks.

Especially if you learned drawing from mainly anime AND if you have no idea about the "general" proportions of an actual human head.

My style and formula incorporates some realism, and if you are unsure about how a realistic face should look like, that touch of realism can play havoc with the face you are constructing, sending your drawing attempt into a quick dive down the Uncanny Valley before it can scream "GERONIMO!".

Take a look at how a realistic head is proportioned first, before attempting this tutorial. A good book is the late Andrew Loomis' "Drawing the Head and Hands", which can be read online here: [link] (The specific page you are looking for is page 39/141 of the Scribd viewer, which is page 43 on the actual scanned page of the book)

Old, old, OLD tutorial. I think I made this about a year ago?

Had someone with face drawing problems, so I uploaded this for her to look at. And for others to read as well.

As you can tell from the title, this is a CONSTRUCTION tutorial, i.e. how to draw a manga-style face using basic shapes and lines, and a very set formula.

The formula is there because my friend wanted to learn how to draw a manga face that, while obviously stylized, still has semi-real proportions; a style that I enjoy using
