Step 1:
Sketch an oval shape. just a quick sketch, you can alter it later. I use a 4B pencil.

Step 2:
Draw a line across the centre of the oval.

Step 3:
Draw a line down the middle of the oval.

Step 4:
Sketch an oval eye either side of the middle line and below the centre line.

Step 5:
Mark a line for the tip of the nose and the middle of the mouth.

Step 6:
Mark a line above each eye to show eyebrows.

Step 7:
Draw a line either side of the centre line and either side of the tip of the nose, for the ears.

Step 8:
Add detail to the eyes. Darken the top eye line and add two iris circles.

Step 9:
Add two small ovals for nostrils, and two curves for the side of the nose.

Step 10:
Find the three lines for the centre, top and bottom of the mouth.

Step 11:
Find a good position for the bottom of the chin and redraw the jaw line.

Step 12:
Add a line for the side of the neck, below the outer corner of the eyes.

Step 13:
Erase the guidelines and soften lines that are too strong.

Step 14:
Start to add detail and tone to the hair, following its natural direction.

Step 15:
Add tone above the eye and below the eyebrow.

Add tone on one side of the face, try to keep the tones soft.

Step 16:
Add tone to the hair.

Step 17:
Draw back into the eyes, building up tones.

Step 18:
Correct anything that you think does not work, it is good to be able to see what does not work, but only erase small parts at a time and then redraw!

Step 19:
You have now hopefully completed a beautiful portrait!
