Description
Tutorial for heads. To many of you, this may seem elementary, but I think it may help some of you out there. Especially for all of you who would like to learn how to draw heads...properly. I left some extra notes if you wanna read it
Proportion:
1.) The head is split into 2 pieces...top half, lower half. The top half includes the hair line, bangs, etc. The lower half...the more important half is the face: eyes, nose mouth, ears.
2.) Nose placement is halfway from the top of the eyes to the bottom of the face.
3.) Mouth placement is negotiable...if u place the mouth too high, the character looks like Jay Leno (super huge chin)...if you make it too low, the character looks slack-jawed. But if you put it a lil' bit higher from where it would normally go, you can make the character look more giddy and enthusiastic. If you put it a lil' lower than normal, you can make the character look a bit sadder, depressed.
If the head is proportionate, it will make your characters looking more natural...even if it is still anime style. Happy drawing

Thank your for this tutorial. It's simple, but instructional; you make things seem easier by breaking it down into easy-to-follow steps. The drawings are acurate. Thank you SO much for pointing out the dimensions. I don't know why I've never figured that out before. Doh!
By the way, the hair on that one girl is kickarse. Thought you should know. ^^
