Hi guys

This week we’ll be having a look at how to illustrate kid’s faces.

Look at this week’s pic.

three faces of children

All three of the children have round faces. This is the first tip when drawing children. Unless your style is very angular, keep most edges smooth. This is important for the soft child look.

The next step is to make the eyes and ears bigger than you would on an adult.

Cute kids have round, small noses, cheeks, mouths and teeth.

Hair is usually curly, long or fluffy in the girls and spiky for boys. This adds to the cuteness.

Tip: You really have to accentuate features to show an emotion. It can get hard to draw kids to get them to match the age you have in mind, so study how other artists have achieved aging and practice!
