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…

I feel accomplished! I have gone through the entire gallery of your tutorial. I have learned so much in so little time. I wish I had found your's sooner last night. I am on a mission to tutorials and references for specific project I started and go beyond mere character creations, I also trying build my skills and create backgrounds/landscapes for them too so I can put together a few short stories. I have been putting it off far, far too long. So thanks again and the link sprinkle and scattered throughout them as well!

I've always liked your work and this tutorial, but I was looking all over for the nose tutorial that you link too. I'm sad to see that it was taken down! Where am I going to get my detailed nose advice now?

I think she might be back? Under the username "rosynose," try that (she tends to delete accounts though, so sorry in advance if she's not there)

Hallaujah, someone else doesn't like anime! I personally don't hate it, just tired of it, its everywhere.
What happened to cartoons like in the old days of Cartoon Network.
Well whatever, thanks for the tutorial! Going to put this knowledge to good use.

This is fantastic! I've been trying to draw semi-realism, but everything I drew sucked. xD This really helps in not only drawing semi-realism, but in *gasp* anime as well. I love how your tutorials allow us to incorporate our own styles.

I'm studying animation in college and I find myself CONSTANTLY having to revisit character construction. For some reason I always have trouble finding a middle ground between Preston Blair simplicity and Andrew Loomis perfect-anatomy-amazing(ness?? derp). This is just what I was looking for! Thanks!

Finally some tutorial which is NOT for anime! God... I am trying to get the grasp of drawing faces and I suck at it I must say. (maybe I really should give up art forever lol) But there is an ocean of triangular mouths out there. I'M SCARED. Great tutorial by the way, thanks! x

doodlelover In reply to ??? [2011-04-05 02:21:56 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! After just a few times trying these techniques I already see improvement. My next goal: drawing a perfect circle and line. Oh how I envy your straight lines.

Now I'll be seeing these proportions whenever I watch my shitty anime to see if they're correct or not. .__.

shingworks In reply to LittleKappa [2011-03-19 05:21:59 +0000 UTC]

No, unfortunately the author of that left dA! She's back at a different account, ~rosynose . It was a really good tut so maybe you can note her to find out if she still has it.
