Their shoulders aren't as broad as an adult, but their faces aren't as sharp as an adult's face. The proportions of the teen face is closer to the adult's, but keep the eyes and foreheads a bit larger.

Your directions are simple but ultimately useful and right to the point. I have a better understanding of what I missed when I drew my "crazy skinny midgets". ;) Thank you very much for having posted this.

They need more sites like these to give future artists that extra boost.

But I'm stuck on how to draw teenagers. How do you make them more childlike than an adult but not as childlike as an 11 or 12 year old? :S Cool. But I’m stuck on how to draw teenagers.

I hadn't noticed much between adults and children in proportion and their faces, so the ones I drew always looked, adult-ish... ^ ^; But, if children and adults are put together, side-by-side, it always looks wrong when I draw them... the difference in height is also quite confusing... ._.||| But, anyway, thanks again!

There just aren't many books that help and getting proportions right can be a real challenge. Thanks for the counting heads visual. It really helped!
