No face required: hair, shoulders, and posture carry everything. The most confidence-building people drawing there is.

Tips for Better Soulmate Drawings
- Draw the spaces between features, not just the features. The distance from nose to mouth matters more than the nose or the mouth.
- Eyes sit at the vertical middle of the head — everyone places them too high at first. Measure it once on any photo and you’ll never unsee it.

How do you draw a soulmate easily?
Start with a light proportion framework, keeping your lines light. Refine the outline, add the defining details, then erase the construction shapes. The nine-step method above breaks this down — most people get a recognizable soulmate on their very first try with it.
How long should it take to draw a soulmate?
A simple soulmate drawing takes about 25 minutes following this tutorial. A quick doodle version can be done in two or three minutes, while a detailed, fully-shaded study might take an hour. Speed comes with repetition — the second attempt is always faster than the first.
What supplies do I need for soulmate drawings?
Just a pencil, an eraser, and any paper. An HB pencil for construction lines and a 2B for final outlines is a nice upgrade, and colored pencils or markers finish it off — but nothing on this page requires special supplies.
