Description Hey! I have two webcomics where you can see this in action: Miamaska and Trial of the Sun . If you liked these tutorials give them a shot!

part 2: female faces here fav.me/d2k4ym6
part 3:male faces here fav.me/d3a6v8u

WELL ! I felt like making a handful of tutorials after taking some notes for myself and this is the result. I hope somebody out there finds this a little helpful. The next two parts will focus solely on faces, and i think everyone will find them much more interesting. Just wanted to get this one out of the way first.


See if you can guess all the characters on the bottom !!! All are copyrighted to their respective owners, I do not claim ownership to any of them.

Ok... let's see... Cruella DeVil, Clank, Bugs Bunny, TF2 Medic (), Crash Bandicoot, and... aw crap, can't think of the last guy.

Really cool tutorial. I used to draw all my characters looking the same, too. Then again, I got my start in art by drawing in a pretty generic anime style (I still do tend to draw that way). I've never really worked with silhouettes - I need to try doing that.

Hey, I've got a reference tumblr (actually just started it) and I wanted to put this three part series up but I wasn't sure if you already had them in a tumblr post or not (becuase I'd rather just reblog you so you get more exposure then otherwise) I know you have a tumblr for your comic and one for gaming development but I didn't see anything about an art one so I thought I'd ask first^^

I've seen the tuts go on a few tumblrs here and there, but I haven't put it up on there myself. I'm fine with you posting it as long as you link back to my deviantart in the post somewhere :--)

Awesome! I'll just use the post to tumblr option DA has as that shows the art and gives the link right up front^^ Thanks! Love these!

Loving it so far! I am extremely guilty of creating cookie cutter characters that are all the same (basicly). This is definitely helping!

TheMadSinclair [2013-03-01 20:01:23 +0000 UTC]

Aah, this is excellent! I mean, I fall into the shortcuts even though I KNOW better, but this is so fun. It makes me want to draw a ton of new characters. Or actually just, y'know, rework some old ones that really need it. Yes, perfect.
All of this for you:

I didn't use any books as references, but I did use a few blog posts from various writers... unfortunately when I went to go grab the links for you they've been taken down due to copyright. sorry about not being able to get you anything else :--(

Orima-Kazooie [2012-09-30 16:51:17 +0000 UTC]

It really is a testament to the character designer that you can recognize Cruella from her silhouette even though most of it is that massive coat. And I wonder how many people will recognize Razputin?
This is an excellent tutorial and I couldn't have stumbled across this at a better time, either!! So thank you for this!

Long ago...I would draw all my characters with this body type formula.

But everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.
