EDIT: Someday... someday, I'm going to do a better anime tutorial since this one is so ugly. D:

Okay, so I wanted to do this for a while, and I finally ended up doing it. It started off good and then I kind of just got lazy at the end. It took me while, nevertheless. I put it under the digital art category merely because I drew it in Photoshop CS2, but you can use this for traditional drawings tool. Some of the drawings I really don't like, but I'm not going to spend more time on it when it already took me a few hours to do. Also, if I add more information to the tutorial, it'll be WAY too long. Therefore, I hope it's helpful the way it is.

Hi! I have a question. I'm new to visual art, and I'm having an issue with differentiating between male and female faces. All too often, I start drawing a female, but it looks like a male face in the end, and vice versa. What are the basic differences between a male and female face, in terms of proportions? Thank you so much for any advice!

ember-snow In reply to TwentyfootAngels [2013-09-11 00:22:36 +0000 UTC]

Hi! I'm sorry to say that I'm not too sure. Everybody's faces are different, but I guess you could say a more masculine face would be one with a more angular or square jaw, and a woman's face would have softer curves and be more round. But, really, girls and boys all have different faces. I usually give my males smaller, more "squinty" eyes, and the women eyes that are more round or almond-shaped.

ticklingthoughts In reply to ??? [2013-05-06 02:12:51 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much! Before, I tend to make a guideline to make a good shape of the head, because I thought it will be good enough to have it. But I failed always. I thought I was pathetic artist. I tried to make a head without guidelines and I did it(it's not really "perfect", but an average only). Thank you again!

ember-snow In reply to ticklingthoughts [2013-05-07 02:23:29 +0000 UTC]

You're very welcome! I'm glad it could help you. Guidelines help for some people, but everyone draws differently. I still alternate between using them and not using them.

ticklingthoughts In reply to ember-snow [2013-05-07 02:26:18 +0000 UTC]

I don't understand myself sometimes. Because when I draw guidelines sometimes it looks like chubby or thin or something like that, and when I lessen the guidelines it looks fine. But sometimes it's reversed. D:
WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME? XD

ember-snow In reply to ticklingthoughts [2013-05-07 03:08:01 +0000 UTC]

Don't worry. xD I have similar problems. Even with guidelines, sometimes my eyes are crooked, or the faces are too long are too wide.

Wow, didn't catch that. xD

And, no, I'm not an expert. There are lots of things I have trouble with. But, yeah, you're not alone!
