Description Right so alot of people wanted me to explain how I draw Linebeck's face, since it's difficult for many.

So I'll try to explain it in a few easy steps.

Step 1.) Draw an Upside Down Egg (Oval whatevah) but make the end more stump instead of pointy.

Step 2.) Add a neck, the neck always starts a little behind the ears, and underneath the chin, uh if that makes sense.

Step 3.) Add the ears! It's easy to make a circle first and draw from there, also draw Pointy ears however you like! But keep in mind that the windwaker series have small thick ears unlike the long pointy ears of Ocarina of Time.

Step 4.) Add the cheekbones, now Linebeck seems to have a very skinny face. Feel you're own face for a change, you're cheekbones start from the bottom of you're ears basically. Feel and experiment how you wish to apply this to Linebeck. ( Tip!: Draw a skull this usually gives you a better insight of cheekbones)

Also make the circles for the hair and the cowlick.

Step 5.) The Famous green hair! Linebeck has a few loose bangs (officially 3, and one long one on the side), and a cowlick (also 3 upstanding pieces of hair on the crown of his head) experiment on how you wish to draw it, not too long (as in TaT) but definetly not to short ( it'll make his face seem even bigger!!!)

He has kinda of a star shaped hair at the bottom, you don't see the back very often so I suggest looking carefully at the cutscenes in the game

Step 6.) Zhe eyes! in my opinion, one of the most important aspects of Linebeck. in the official artwork he kind of his round half moon eyes. but I tend to make them more square since it brings out more facial expressions for my comic. of course it's you're job to think of how you wish to draw it. if you want to stick to the original thats fine too !

After these steps, apply the nose, the cheeky grin and don't forget his facial hair and VOILA! you have Linebeck

So Remember the most important aspects of Linebeck's face are:

-His Egg Like shaped face.
-Cheekbones! (this will make him look more older)
-Bags underneath the eyes ( Also important! this will give him that tired and grumpy look)
-Facial hair ( DON'T MAKE HIM LOOK BISHIE BY FORGETTING IT D: <)
And last but not least: his pineapple hair ( Yes Linebeck reminds me of a pineapple dessert, yummy <3)


Ïf you have any further questions feel free to ask? Having problems with his body? No problem I will make a full body tutorial soon, as well as his colors

Hope this was helpfull, Fonny

Wow! This really helped me draw Linebeck's head! I wasn't too bad at drawing him in the past but it did take like 32908098039170 tries to get his head right (And I draw freestyle so you could probably imagine how hard it could have been free drawing an unusually-shapped head as Linebeck's) And my Linebeck pictures are looking great AND pencil mistake mark-free ^^! Thanks so much I will fav this for future use~~~~ ♥♥

Kuhn-GU In reply to NeoRinku [2011-09-15 17:34:18 +0000 UTC]

Lol. Yeah it is frustrating >< Ugh I can't get the eyes right though. It's veen a challenge because his eyes are so odd as well @.@ I've drawn him with different types of eyes (Closed/angry) but not so much with the normal-looking eyes :s I guess I need to study pictures of the eyes a little more to get it right

Well drawing him like the manga is fine too but you should give it you're own spin as well copying is no fun >W<
But thank you anyway

Ah, don't worry, I've seen sloppier tutorials by now. And yours is none of them.
I think the most difficult part is his face-shape and you explained it well.
