Description
EDIT: AS A DEVIANT SO KINDLY CORRECTED ME, THAT WONDEROUS PHRASE "BEARD ABOVE MOUTH" WRITTEN SOMEWHERE IN THERE IS CALLED A MOUSTACHE. THIS LEAD ME TO WONDER ABOUT MY INTELLECTUAL STATE BACK WHEN I WAS DOING THIS TUTORIAL. PLEASE DISREGARD THAT DESCRIPTION AFTER HAVING A GOOD LAUGH AT IT.*** DOWNLOAD FOR FULL VIEW *** ...AND PLEASE EXCUSE ANY TYPOS LOOOOL CUS I FAIL AT THIS PART, ALWAYS
SO here it is.
I just realized that by doing this, I kind of bit off more than I could chew, because I noticed how incapable I was of ACTUALLY demonstrating how to do semi-realism. I realize that my so called semi-realism style, is far from semi-realistic. I still have a lot to learn, for sometimes I can get ahead of myself and, like the rant I spontaneously placed by the end of the tutorial, I ASSUMED I got all of the character's aspects correct and drew what I thought was accurate without using references. In the end those small sketches at the bottom of the final portrait looks nothing but anime.
But then again it's no use to get all emo over this cus I know somehow I'll manage to improve
So anyways, I'm just basically sharing some fundamentals I know about drawing a person, if there are loopholes or anything wrong, do tell me! If you find this tutorial helpful, I'll be glad! If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Thank you for making this. This was exactly what I needed. QwQ And, your sketches of the characters do not look like Anime at all! In fact, they are as realistic as they could get! OuO ((Especially Sherlock omgasdfjklsavemysorryexcuseforasoul He looks so pwetty!! TvT))

What I like from semi-realism is that people won't get confuse cause all of them has a different trait that makes them stand out. It make the characters more easier to identify.

Wow, I've been looking for something like this forever. I hate how anime is drawn so perfect and flawless. Also, anime fails to show detail, which makes me rather angry as I love to put WAY too much details in my drawings.

I agree. I used to love more of an anime style (I still do) and I only drew in it, but now I'm starting to like semi-realism a lot and I want to start drawing in that style.

Same with me. I used to do only anime. Now I just started doing semi-realism and I really like it a lot. I'm planning on switching my focus to semi-realism now. But still draw anime every now and in.

Β After seeing Akihiko Yoshida's art, I've alwaysΒ imagined myselfΒ getting into semi realism.Β I love the anime style, but it gets boring sometimes.
It's going to feel really weird but, I hope I have the patience for it.

And I don't mean to be a other, but could you also do a tutorial for semi-realism for girls? You don't have to. I just like how this tutorial is formatted and I think you'd do a great job at it.

I really like this tutorial. Most semi realistic tutorials are about proportion and step by steps of how to draw eyes, noses, ears, etc. This one was quite interesting because it shows how to draw real people semi-realistically
