Description ~FULL VIEW PLEASE~
&& please read. Don't judge and learn.


In regards to proportion, many artists struggle in this area. Not many people know part of the feature of the face relates to other aspects, but they do and here it is for you to learn. If these are unbelievable to you, believe it. Check in the mirror for yourself and you will see the same result.

This tutorial is not realistically the same as compared a real human but the proportional is very similar. The eyes are disfigured but it is the quality seen to be attractive in some anime or manga styles.

The proportion is the general rule of what many artists follow. Please take this into account.


Edit: Title


Made while constructively criticizing and praising *spring-sky 's Lilo: Pirate of the Flying Ship.


I hope this will help you improve! Good luck~

Just to know, how much distance must there be between...
- ...the base of the nose and the top of the nose?
- ...the outer border of the eye and the edge of the face?
- ...the mouth and the base of the nose?
- ...the top of the eyes and the hairline base?

1. Horizontal length of an eye (top of the nose, as in just beneath the eye level or at the tear duct line)

2. Straight-on-perspective; ~ 1/2 a horizontal eye length

3. vertical length of the mouth or two lips together from the center.

4. Varies; generally, vertical length between eyebrows to base of the nose.


Good luck!

nice examples, but i would more clearly label this as an anime proportion tutorial. there's a big difference between real and cartoon proportions (something i've had a bit of an issue fixing in my transition from anime to more realistic work)
