How to Draw Jake Gyllenhaal, Jake Gyllenhaal
1
Draw the oval lightly with a No.2 or HB pencil. Make sure you draw it as seen in the picture. As it is not even a perfect jellybean shape. Draw it slanted towards the left.

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 placements. Also added e. for the shoulders.
5
Now draw the eyebrows and eyes.

Observe where Jake's features appear in relation to the guidelines. Draw in his nose, mouth, and beard stubs
7
Watch closely the side of Jake's and how it relates to the guidelines. As you draw, you will have more accuracy. Also sketch in the bearded area and jawline.

If you haven't already, you can erase your guidelines. Also add those small strokes to Jake's hair line. Try staying close to the lines that represent the direction of his hair. This will help as you shade it in. Complete his neck and shoulder area.

Description: Anyone seen "Donnie Darko" or "Day after Tomorrow"? I LOVE this man's movies. "Bubble Boy," hehehehe, yeah, I'm not ashamed. Have mercy, this young man has grown into a gorgeous Mr. Universe. He used to be so skinny, walking around in his roles with his shoulders humped up. And you know what? I still loved him. He has THE BEST SMILE in all movie land and his HAIR IS TOTALLY finger-combing good! I'll stop. I mean, I hope I see him in more "Prince of Persia"! I know, I know, I know "Brokeback Mountain" is where he won a Best Supporting nomination... BUT... "Source Code" is for me! It was hard drawing him at first because I just love this guy. But I grabbed myself and focused on the task at hand. I hope you enjoy my ranting and this tutorial as I did. It was FANTABULOUS! Please fav, comment and vote to let me know you like this and you're out there. Love you all and peace! *tighthug*
