Eyebrow Direction: Look and Compare

Name ____________________ Date __________

WHAT YOU WILL MAKE

Make two observed studies with one corrected relationship. Focus on eyebrow direction.

Shared feature reference for Eyes
Shared feature reference. It may not show this task’s exact pose, accessory, or style. Use the teacher’s matching reference too.

Draw it step by step

Build brows from grouped marks.

  1. Use one mirror view or teacher-approved reference. Make the first drawing lightly and compare width, height, and angle.
  2. Observe where each brow starts and ends.
  3. Sketch its overall shape.
  4. Add short marks following its direction.
  5. Circle a mismatch in the first study. Make a second study correcting that one relationship before adding detail.

Common drawing problem: Every brow hair points straight up

Repair: Change mark direction along the brow.

Check your work: What became closer to the reference, and how can you tell?

Materials: pencil, eraser, paper, and a mirror or teacher-approved reference. Optional black drawing pen; no painting required.
