Well, as a portrait artist I can tell you that you should be able to draw. Then your supposed to divide the face into 6 parts...three equal horizontal parts and then one vertical division down the center. I don't use this method, I start with the eyes and then draw the face around them but that's me. Get's some books out of the library and just start practicing until you get comfortable..if you have a good eye and a little talent you will get the hang of it.

You need to get a grid that includes boxes or a type of chart it helps with proportions. The boxes need to be at least one inch big a whole sheet of them, you could get it at any office supply store I'm sure or art supply place. The reason that you use the grid is to start seeing how big the face you are looking at is and, the grid will help you to measure the size of each facial feature. After you do if for a while you will get better and then you can draw the grid yourself and then erase it if you draw it lightly to get a somewhat final project. Eventually you will get proprotions and size close enough you may not need this format to help you...happy drawing:<)

Aside from taking classes in learning to be a portrait artist there is a simpler method. Buy one of those cheap art projectors, you can get them for about $20. Put a sharp photograph of the subject in it and project it onto a wall where your art paper is taped. Lightly sketch in the basic face shape, eye shapes, nose, lips, ears , hairline. Now you can concentrate on rendering it without worrying about correct proportions. Some would consider it cheating, but it's really just a shortcut.

start by pointing out there most personal characteristics then do your face layout. like th oval then the line down the middle (or which ever way you want them to look ) then the line a little more than half way up the face for the eyes. and every person has something that stands out and put that on paper anyone can tell its them. you don't have to be that great of a artist jus have fun doin it. :)

Drawing one oh one. Do not look at the person and draw their profile without lifting your charcoal stick from the newsprint. Do it again and again until your brain creates the strong new nerve pathways between your eyes and your hand.
Keep your wrists locked when drawing.

take a picture of them that you like. It will be better if it is not a strait on picture, and if the face has some good values. also graph the picture, it will help a lot with this, it will keep the picture purportional(sp)
