Drawing Proportions of a Human's Face and Body

What are the first two steps in drawing the basic proportions of a human's face?

• Divide the lower part of the circle in 3 pieces

• Draw a straight vertical line in the center of the circle

• Shape half-oval from the bottom half of the circle for the lower face/chin

• Draw a perfect circle

What does the center line down the face represent in the drawing?

• Line of bilateral symmetry

• The center point of the lip

• The height of the ear

• The tip of the nose

How can you draw a perfect circle without any tool besides a pencil?

• Use a ruler to draw the circle

• Mark the center point of the circle and turn the paper all around

• Trace a circular object on the paper

• Estimate the shape of the circle

What is the width of the nose in relation to the eyes?

• Half the width of the head

• The same width as one eye

• Double the width of the eyes

• One-third the width of the eyes

What is the purpose of dividing the lower part of the face into three pieces?

• To determine the width of the lips

• To find the center point of the lip

• To mark the position of the nose

• To shape the oval hat form

What is the height of the ear in relation to the lines of the eyes and nose?

• Above the line of the eyes

• Below the line of the eyes

• Between the lines of the eyes and nose

• At the same level as the line of the nose

What is the purpose of the construction lines in the drawing?

• To add contrast to the drawing

• To define the features of the face

• To create a realistic or natural look

• To mirror the features on both sides of the face

What is the correct position of the eyes in relation to the head?

• Above the center line of the head

• Below the center line of the head

• At the same level as the center line of the head

• Slightly tilted towards the center line of the head

What is the correct position of the center line of the lip?

• Above the ear line

• Below the center point of the eyes

• About one-third of the way between the bottom of the nose and the chin

• Slightly above the nose line

Why are proportions important in drawing a human's face?

• To create a realistic or natural look

• To add details to the features of the face

• To determine the size of the head

• To define the shape of the oval hat form
