Draw the oval lightly with a No.2 or HB pencil. Make sure you draw it as seen in the picture.

Now draw in the bisecting line to balance his facial features.

Sketch lightly the crescent red lines for hair line and head mass.

You can draw in the lines a. for eyebrows, b. for eyes, c. for nose, d. for mouth, and e. for shoulders.
5
Now draw Jim's mask, eyebrows, eyes, and nose.
6
Observe where Jim's features appear in relation to the guidelines. Draw in his mouth, teeth, smiling lines, and top of chin.
7
Now draw in the profile of his jawline, ears, and chin.
8
Look closely at how the lines of his hair and strokes flow upward in the middle and curve downward on both sides within the guidelines. Take your time to draw those curls and waves. Patience is your best friend because with it, you'll be able to comp
9
Last but not least, draw in his neck and shoulders, along with the t-shirt folds and the colonel rank insignia. If you haven't already, you can now erase your guidelines. The lines you couldn't erase, go ahead and blend them in if you will be shading

I made this line drawing especially for you if you don't want to do the pencil shading and blending part. Otherwise, let us continue to the pencil drawing part.
11
Here is the outline done with a 0.7mm mechanical pencil. Look closely and see if your lines look something like this. You can erase if certain areas like the eyes or nose don't line up. Take you kneaded eraser and dab off the shadow outlines or dark

I didn't want to skip this. The first picture shows how to hold your pencil for Overhand (great for writing & details) and Underhand (great for shading large areas in wide strokes). You can practice tone shading and take it a step further with the To

Here is how the tools look. I used the 0.7mm 2B mechanical pencil, 9B pencil, tissue, and the blending stump.

This is the first start. This is where you would sketch in small circles or lines to shade the areas. It would take hours upon hours to cover all that area with a pencil. I chose to shade with pastels. In a few strokes I've got area coverage. Applied

What's interesting is I haven't used a pencil yet during this stage. I took a tortillon blending tool (since it won't leave lines and will cover a larger area) and shaded laying the stump tapered part flat (like a pencil) on his skin. Then I took it'

I sketched in darker with my 0.7mm mechanical and 9B pencil his eyes, mouth, and mask shadow. I placed my 9B pencil flat and barely touching the paper went over the darker parts of his face. Between the shadowed hair strands (of the light hair strip

Drawing like this is a gradual buildup. I keep sketching, blending and sketching some more. This time, I first blended the pencil sketches with my toritllon to give a smooth transition. I added more dark tones and details to his hair, face, uniform a

I smoothed his eyes, mask, skin, hair, mouth, and uniform a little more in my SAI program by blurring it. I added darker hair details between his strands. Also added lighter hair strands to pop out his hair as contrast against the background. I added
