Description A friend from Animefest asked for one, so I finally finished. I humbly offer my bishounen tutorial. There are a TON of great resources for actual anatomy in addition to just practice and observation. While searching for a reference to double check the face proportions (they're rough, I know, I didn't want to check through my anatomy notes to double check), I found a great submission: [link] by that is a really great reference for realistic faces.

Otherwise, I hope this is helpful to people . . . this is my first time doing one. ;

Set in Univers.

Very cool tutorial but I wish I could zoom in more so I could read the text. This image is only 900x582 pixels. Where can I view the larger image?

I am doing a project involving a bishounen character and I know very little about drawing them. Β This tutorial gives me a very good base to work from.

Sorry about that, I formatted it so it could be printed in 11x17 or a tabloid size. It should be fine if you download it.

This should help me a bit.,

Wow, I'm almost never on dA, but I caught this in an timely fashion. Sure, I'll work on one. But there is a con coming up so I can't guarantee it'll pop up soon. But I'll work on it.

The first time I draw is bishounen (or bishes for short). So, this is really helpful to improve my bishies character design.

YukoISBadMedicine [2011-10-14 07:29:43 +0000 UTC]

I really love bishonens as they are more visually appealing to look at and draw. This seems like a nice tutorial.

Ah, thank you. I'm glad to help out when I can. I look back on it and think how some of my art has changed since then, lol.

Again, I'm glad to help out any way I can. We gotta make our bishies as bishiest as they can be. XD

silvernomiko In reply to Brassassin [2011-03-14 05:01:44 +0000 UTC]

Lol, man, me too. I did that because someone asked for some pointers at a con one year. And when I look back on it now . . . I draw bodies slightly different now. It's crazy how much styles change even if it's even subtle changes.

But I'm glad to help anyone if I can. We all gotta help each other out as we progress. ^^
