How to Build a Face
Sketching a face is a process like building. The foundation is first and the details go on top of it.
1. Build the head
Select a head shape from the Heads category. Note that the head has gray guides showing where to put the eyes, nose and mouth. You will first draw the head before adding the details. You can add dashed lines for the guides so they are easy to erase when you are ready to add the parts.
2. Add parts
Select the parts you want to add from the Parts category. Note that you only need to a one or two details for people to recognize the person or see it as a face. For example, adding hair and a mouth is fast to sketch and easy to recognize.
3. When to Sketch Faces
A face is a good self-portrait for an email Signature. You can also use a face image as an avatar icon instead of a symbol icon. Faces are also good to use for sketch notes to refer to the speaker or other recognizable people involved in the message.
