How to draw a head in profile (Lord Shadowblade style!) I hope you guys like this. I think the proportions are fine, maybe the relationship between the ear, bottom of the nose and lips (and chin may be a little off) but it'd just be more elongated which can be fixed easily. I've just found that drawing a circle first helps a lot to keep the facial profile stuff right. So there you go! (Ignore the random sketches, they have nothing to do with the drawing of the profile heads!)

1. First, draw a circle and then cut it into quarters like shown above. The horizontal line is your eyebrow and top-of-the-ear line and the vertical line also seperates the ear from the rest of the face.

2. Draw the (whatever that's called, the part of the jaw that bends sharply and comes out towards the chin) and draw a straight line down from the front of the face.

3. Draw an ear. This will help you with the other lines. Make sure it's big. Or else everything else will have to be small. At the bottom of the ear, draw a horizontal line to the front of the face. The will be your nose line. Now, see that space between the lines? That's how long your nose is! That's why the ear needs to be big. Then, where the jaw curves sharply, draw a horizontal line from that point to the front of the face.

4. Draw the nose first (then you'll know how much space to put between that and the eye) then draw your eyebrows and eyes. On the horizontal line coming from the jaw, draw your lip line then draw the lines of the lips.

5. Draw the hair lines (unless of course the person you are drawing is bald ) and finish up the basic features of the face.

6. (This is the best part!) Shade and add all the rest of the details that you like! Yeah! We're done!

I hope that wasn't too boring. If this helps improve anyone's artwork then it's served it's purpose. Or is found entertaining. I can go with that one too.

Hey! Idea! I challenge the people who see this to try this out and then send me a link so I can see it too! Whoop!
