Oh damn, oh shit

Its tutorial time 8D Cuz I have nothing else on my plate, obviously (I'm lying). Anyways I was feeling like not working on comics so I did this. As always, feel free to trace or whatever you need to do. Sorry if it is less in depth, this is more about the shapes and how to arrange them on the face vs an exhaustive listing of a bunch of details. Hopefully this will give you a place to begin so you can make your own variety, instead of having to rely on others and reffing (if you even need the help).

I'd like to add, this is exactly how I draw faces. If you like that and want to emulate it for some godawful reason, go ahead, I guess (though I strongly advise you to develop your own style). But hopefully the principles are basic enough to be applied to any style you like.

*edit* Oop, almost forgot! my fav nose tutorial, by mimm :mimm.deviantart.com/art/Nose-d…

Interesting read, but please note that the link to the nose tutorial no longer works as mimm seems to have left.

NinjaTeddiesGalore [2011-12-19 00:15:41 +0000 UTC]

I really like how you seem to be so against anime. Well, not against but not pro-anime or anything. ^_^
Anime is so popular and it's refreshing to be reminded that there are different ways of drawing cartoons other than anime and manga!
Thanks for these, they're very helpful! :3

I never considered using the circle to represent the skull, and a line to represent the lower half of the face. I've always just done the "circle with basketball lines" thing. Needless to say, my faces almost always look shitty. This tutorial is gonna help me so much! Thanks!

I really like this tutorial (but I don't like how you reinforced the "all anime is lazy and looks exactly the same" notion). Thanks for the all the tutorials, I'm going to sit here and finish reading the rest of them until the angry mob beats me for expressing my opinion.

DOOD. I just want to thank you for making these shweet tutorials. I've been looking at this one and copying the skulls almost every day. One of my friends and I were doodling from it during class. I'm a senior in college (art school) and this is really helping me learn character construction, something my school isn't great on. I guess it's kind of sad that I'm a senior and still learning how to draw heads but uh uhhh um ANYWAY these are awesome very succinct, simple, and super super helpful.

Zechira In reply to ??? [2011-08-31 19:06:21 +0000 UTC]

For some reason eyes are the hardest part for me to draw, and they always end up looking very lifeless and occasionally fish-like (which is fine for fishy folk, but not so much otherwise XD). That section in particular was really helpful.
