1. Begin the John F. Kennedy outline by drawing his eyes.
Use curved lines to outline the eyes, noting how the lines don't quite touch at the corners. Inside each eye, draw a circle within a circle, and shade the smaller circle to form the pupil.

2. Use curved lines to enclose the eyebrows above each eye. Notice how short lines that meet at jagged points are used to give the tops of the eyebrows the texture of hair.
Then, draw curved lines above the eyes to indicate the eyelids and between them to form the nose.
