Unfortunately, the provided reference doesn't offer explicit step-by-step instructions tailored for kids on drawing a man's face. It mainly talks about basic proportions for drawing a human head in general. Therefore, I can't give you precise child-friendly instructions based solely on that.
However, here's a general outline of how you can teach a child to draw a man's face easily:
-
Start with a Circle: Begin by drawing a large circle. This will be the basic shape of the head.
-
Add a Chin: Draw a slightly curved line down from each side of the circle to form the chin. Keep it simple; a gentle curve works best.
-
Draw a Guideline: Lightly draw a vertical line down the middle of the face and a horizontal line across the middle of the circle. These lines will help place the features evenly.
-
Eyes: Draw two almond-shaped eyes on the horizontal guideline, leaving a space roughly the width of one eye between them. Simplify the eye shape for kids.
-
Nose: Draw a simple nose shape halfway between the horizontal guideline and the chin. A small curve or triangle can represent the nose easily.
-
Mouth: Draw a short, slightly curved line for the mouth below the nose. A simple line is enough for a smile!
-
Ears: Draw the ears on either side of the head, between the horizontal guideline and the bottom of the nose. Simple "C" shapes work well.
-
Hair: Add hair around the top of the head. Keep it simple and age-appropriate.
-
Neck: Draw two straight lines down from the bottom of the head to create the neck.
-
Erase Guidelines: Gently erase the guidelines to reveal your drawing.
Tips for making it easier for kids:
- Use simple shapes: Focus on circles, ovals, lines, and curves.
- Exaggerate features: Slightly larger eyes or a bigger smile can make the drawing more fun.
- Don't worry about perfection: Encourage experimentation and creativity.
- Break it down into small steps: This makes the process less overwhelming.
- Draw along with them: Children learn best by watching and imitating.
Without specific instructions from the reference geared towards children, this general approach provides a starting point for teaching a child how to draw a man’s face.
