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!

This is actually great! I've always wanted to try this style! Even though I'm not nearly as talented as you I think( or rather hope) this art-style can complement my own.

I'm sure you get this a lot, but thank you so much for this little guide. I have recently decided to try and improve my art and try to move over to a semi-realism style of art since I've found it is my all time favorite style, and this was very helpful. I would have never thought of semi-realism this way if it wasn't for this guide, and it has also helped make developing a semi-realism style seem much less daunting for me.

Oh this is great not only for real people, but for OC's as well because it makes you think about what special details to give their faces to not make them all look the same. Or maybe it's just me >_>

Thanks, this is helpful~ I wish I could do semi-realism better; I alternate between true-to-life and moe moe style, which isn't at all what I want v.v

Can I request for a head proportion tutorial?
Because your anatomy here is just beautiful and your tutorial is just so fun and clear. It's not so tedious to follow!
I really hope you could do one!
No pressure intended.

Very good. Very good. Your faces are too pointy, though. Benedict, especially, has quite a flat chin. Just saying.

I saw this a while ago but forgot about it. However, I suddenly had an urge to re-read some of the things you mentioned and couldn't find this tutorial on DA because I forgot the name. I just spend the last hour looking for this.
Anyway, it is very interesting and you pointed out some great facts. :3
