The Legacy Project has a great tutorial and offers some general rules of thumb:
- The eyes are halfway between the top of the head and the chin.
- The bottom of the nose is halfway between the eyes and the chin.

- The corners of the mouth line up with the centers of the eyes.
- The top of the ears line up with the center of the eyes.
- The bottom of the ears line up with the bottom of the nose.
I also came across this video tutorial over at YouTube on how to draw the profile of a man’s face.
What I eventually would love to do is learn how to draw and paint digitally…like this artist who painted the Mona Lisa in MS Paint…
