Even as a child I love to draw and doodle and it’s something that has carried on into adulthood. Learning to draw does take time and practice but once you’ve mastered a few basic technique and concepts drawing should become second nature.
I used to feel that drawing faces was one of the hardest things to master particularly getting the nose and lips to look like nose and lips. Getting the nose to look like a nose and the lips well they’d always end up looking I don’t know what but certainly not lips. Until I learned a few things a long the way that made it a little easier.
When your first learning to draw one thing to keep in mind is that every drawing is basically a series of lines arranged in such a way to look like an object and this is particularly true when drawing faces. When I was first learning to draw faces I found it especially helpful to use graph paper and a ruler to assure that the eyes, nose and mouth would line up. After practicing this a few times you begin to just know where to put things and wont need to use graph paper or a ruler but at first it really does help to do it that way.
Another tip I was given that I found really helpful is don’t worry about shading and getting in every detail concentrate on mastering one thing at a time like the eyes, then the nose and the mouth. Then once you’ve got that down then start adding in the details.
When you finally master the face, getting the eyes just right and the nose to look like a nose and the lips to look like lips then you can start doing what most of us might think as the fun part of drawing adding the details and what we call shading such as giving more detail to those nose and lips and shading the eyes just right to make them pop. With a little practice this can become the best part of drawing.

Sketch lightly on the first outline.
If you don't get it right, try again. If you end up wanting to rip your paper, take a break to blow off some steam.
Make daily rough sketches of people you see in media or on the streets.
Add different tones and shades to show different parts of the face.
