Of course I didn't draw the face to perfection because I wanted the lesson to be as easy as possible for all you novice artist out there that need help drawing the face. The human face is a very detailed, defined part of the human body, and because of this, it often makes it difficult to draw. I on the other hand still have trouble when faced with this task. I think that's why I draw almost every person with an anime style twist. All in all this tutorial should help you draw a face better because all the steps and instructions are easy to follow and understand.
