Face proportions
A child’s face is relatively small in comparison with the head. In the drawings below,
notice that the eyes of young children are well below the halfway line. In adults
the eyes are slightly above the halfway line. Notice also that the tops of the ears
are at about the same level as the eyes.

Drawing hands
Hands are hard to draw. Practice drawing your
own and copying good drawings or photos.
One common mistake is to draw hands too small.
Notice that an adult’s hand is almost as big as his
face. (Children’s hands are
relatively smaller.)
