After finishing step one, I pretty much use the shapes drawn to help me add detail to what I originally drew. I make the eyes more oval shaped, outline the shape I have come up with for the eyes, and then add the irises. If someone is going for realism when drawing eyes, make the irises circular. When it comes to the nose, I don’t do much. I draw curved lines for the edge of the nose, curved lines for the nostrils, and a curved line for the bottom of the nose. I would turn the nostrils from lines to circular or oval shapes depending on how the person being drawn has their face turned. For the mouth, I draw curved lines and the shape depends on how I want the lips to be shaped. If I’m drawing a specific person, I have to be very specific about how I shape facial features. I also redraw some guidelines if I struggle with getting the shapes of facial features or head shapes right.
