Description
Turnarounds become a lot less intimidating when you know you basically only need to draw three heads. However, don't be lazy. Make tweaks where they're needed. Also, keep in mind that not all characters are symmetrical!Can't do these digitally? No problem! The traditional way to do turnarounds is to put several pieces of paper together so as to not sacrifice size. A lightbox or tracing paper can also be used to do any flipping or transferring. No excuses!
Lastly, I wanna acknowledge that it takes me, at the very least, three separate tries to get a profile or frontal view to even resemble the character while still following the guidelines. The shape of your character usually isn't as straightforward as you assume. Experiment, experiment, experiment!
