🎨Understanding the basic proportions of a human's face is essential for realistic and accurate portrait drawings.

📏The circle and centerline create the foundation for the placement of facial features such as the eyes, nose, and lips.

✏️Drawing the eyes involves marking the center points and dividing the spaces to determine their width.

👃The width of the nose is determined by the distance between the eyes, and the tip of the nose is where the circle and centerline intersect.

👄The center line of the lips is where the upper and lower lips meet, and the width of the lips is usually the distance between the pupils.
