Think proportions.

Start by drawing a vertical line. Since the human body is mostly symmetrical, matching body parts like eyes and ears can be drawn from equal distances from each other.

Faces

The key to drawing people accurately is to draw things as they are, not by what you are drawn to. Most beginning drawers leave out most of the forehead because it's not a space we really look at. If you were to draw a horizontal line dividing the face into two halves, the eyes would be at or just above this center line.

Divide the face up into three equal sections between the top of the hairline and the bottom of the chin. The first space will stretch across the forehead, the second will stretch from the eyebrows to the bottom of the nose, and the third will stretch across the bottom of the nose to the end of the chin.

If the person you are drawing is bald, the upper portion should be about half the size of the other three portions, i.e. a drawing 13 1/2" tall would have 1 1/2" for the hairline and 4" sections for the rest of the face.

Bodies

Most artists use set proportions for drawing characters. These proportions are set to draw emphasis to the most important parts of the body, typically the hands and face. Most adults can be divided into five or six parts, with one for the head and neck, two for the torso, and two or three for the legs. Other art styles use different ratios.

Cartoon: Five parts, with one for the head, two for the torso, and two for the legs.
Super deformed/baby: Three parts, with one going to the head, torso, and legs.
Pin-up girls: Seven parts, with one part head, two parts torso, and four parts legs.
