thanks for asking advices from Muslims . Pl. don't draw any human images as it may create unnecessary debate .
Fatwa/ religious verdict: Drawing face of human beings
....A picture is of two kinds:1- The picture which is made by hand, having a shadow or not, is Haram, according to the most sound opinion.
2- As for the photography by camera, Muslim scholars have different opinions over it. Some scholars, according to a generalization mentioned in many Hadith, believe that all kinds of photography are prohibited. Some of them believe that photography is nothing but catching the shadow of a person, not emulating Almighty Allah. Thereupon, it is not Haram.
But we would like to tell you that avoiding doubtful things is always preferable in Islam unless there is real necessity for acting otherwise.
