To draw eyebrows as a beginner, start by laying down guidelines to establish shape and proportion. Draw a rectangle, longer on the side closer to the nose, and add a small triangle at the end for the tail[1]. You can also use your pencil to mark three main reference points: the start (aligned with the inner eye corner), the arch (aligned diagonally from the nose through the pupil), and the end (aligned with the outer eye corner)[4].
- Use a sharp pencil or eyebrow product for precision. Outline the lower edge of your brow first, then create an outline on the upper edge connecting to the tail[3].
- Leave a slight gap at the very inner corner so your brows look more natural and not too harsh[2].
- Draw hairs in short, curved strokes, starting upward near the inner end and more horizontal towards the tail. Mimic the direction natural brow hairs grow for realism[1][5].
- Fill in only the sparse areas, not the entire brow, to maintain a natural look[2]. Brush through with a spoolie to blend product and soften lines.
- If using eyeshadow or powder, gently underline brows and fill just the blank areas, blending upward for a less harsh effect[6].
- Finally, erase any visible guidelines and correct mistakes to clean up your drawing[1].
