Watch Mrs Thompson's short videos that will remind you how to draw a face using good proportions - this means there is more chance of your face drawing looking like a real human being!
This is the basic guide to getting the proprtions right - a circle with an extended bottom half (your chin), then eyes half way, nose half way below that and mouth half way below that again!

This is me applying the knowledge of the proportions to getting something looking a lot more like me - I used a photo on my phone to draw from...you could use a mirror or a photo if you like.

This final video shows you how to add tone (shading with a pencil to show shadows and 3-D shapes). You have to really look for it and remember we do not have bright white faces as all of our skin tones are darker than that! If it helps, you could turn your photo into a black and white one on your phone or tablet...this might be easier?
