CHILD HEAD PROPORTIONS

                          CHILD HEAD PROPORTIONS


The proportions of a child's head differ from those of an adult. Children generally have bigger foreheads; therefore the eye­ brows-not the eyes-fall on the center horizontal division line. Also, the eyes of youngsters usually are larger and rounder than the eyes of adults.
Brow line Eye line


The younger the child, the smoother the skin and facial features. Keep your shading even and relatively light.
The forehead can be divided into five equal sections with verti­ cal lines. You can position the other facial features in relation to these lines as well.
Children are fascinating drawing subjects; they bring vitality and life to you r work.
To correctly place the features, use the horizontal lines shown to the left to divide the region between the child's brow line and the chin into four equal sections. Study where each fea­ ture falls in relation to these division lines.
