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!

Check out part 1:The Body- fav.me/d2j3z86
Check out part 2:Lady Faces- fav.me/d2k4ym6

Part 3: Male Faces! Long awaited I know. I'm terrible. Next one's in two-three months, on age and weight! I am quite terrible at giving estimates. Hopefully it'll come out in August!

All those characters up there are copyrighted to their respective owners, I do not claim ownership to any of them.

This tutorial series was inspired in part by an article on the TvTropes website. tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php... Click there to see more examples!

you ever noticed how females are usually the victim of same face syndrome?

jeinu In reply to DahliaFay [2013-06-14 17:52:25 +0000 UTC]

happens some with males too.. maybe this is totally personal anecdote, but I've noticed that many artists tend to make more variety for their own gender's faces while simplifying the opposite gender to a same-face-template. kinda odd, but i do try harder to make my lady characters all unique!

Quick question: where is the part 4 that you promised?
I kinda want to know about age in characters. :/

Ope, sorry pal, I get busy and personal stuff like tutorial series have to go on the back burner for a while. All the text for it is laid out, it just needs illustrations now. I'll try to work on it on the weekends.

This is wonderful! Thank you for making it! I rarely experiment with shapes in this way when I draw people. This tutorial is great inspiration and an awesome tool. It'll definitely come in handy when I need to reference facial features!

Dupreewolf In reply to ??? [2012-10-21 01:18:53 +0000 UTC]

That's really helpful! I've looked at all your tutorials and let me tell you it get me a lot of ideas and a bunch of inspiration! But I have TONS of trouble drawing side views and quarter views, like every time I draw a side view of a girl it ends up looking like a guy! The nose I can do pretty well but the ther features ... like trying to teach my cat to bark. Do you have any tips for that? Not for teaching my cat to bark (that's would be weird) but for my art?

jeinu In reply to Dupreewolf [2012-10-21 06:22:46 +0000 UTC]

Yeah! I'd definitely suggest drawing from reference to get other features down. Even if it's realistic, getting down the same facial shapes from different angles will help you to understand how to stylize them into cartoon format. There are plenty of resources right here on DA too, if you go browse the resources & stock images section and search for "head + profile/front/turn around" there are several models with various angles of their head.

All 3 parts of this tutorial are so helpful! Sometimes when I'm trying to draw a character I get stuck on how to make them look unique. Usually I only have like 2-3 different ideas for shapes for eyes, or noses, etc, but this should provide me with oodles of inspirational reference and ideas, so thanks!
