Scarecrow Face
Scarecrow Faces and Drawing
This scarecrow face drawing project is great for really young artists as it’s very easy to draw. The face, hat and shirt are all made with just a few curved and straight lines so students can get to adding their own flourishes in no time.
A scarecrow is a decoy or mannequin in the shape of a human, Wikipedia explains. It is usually dressed in old clothes and placed in open fields to discourage birds such as crows or sparrows from disturbing and feeding on recently cast seed and growing crops.
The scarecrow is mostly a storybook figure these days, which most might connect to the United States. It actually has a history throughout Europe and other countries as well. It turns out that scarecrows have been in existence for more than 3,000 years, and even date back to the time of the pharaohs in Egypt!
This tutorial will show students how to focus on the scarecrow face, but leaves lots of room for customization. Patches on the hat, or pockets on the shirt will all add some extra fun, and then possibly some extra color. You can’t have too much of that in a fun fall drawing.
Why Draw with Guides?
You may have noticed that all of the tutorials on this website have a dashed vertical line and horizontal line running through each step. If students make their own centered lines on their own paper, before drawing, they will have an easy reference to follow. All they need to do is fold their sheet of paper in half both ways, and make a crease. The best part is, by the time the drawing is done, the creases will have disappeared!
