Description This is a super basic tutorial....like, I dunno...anyways...

There will be two more parts to this tutorial, and hopefully I can cover everything and get them finished soon. My next part will be 3/4ths view, and finally the side view.

If there's anything I can do to fix this, lemme know.

Again, I don't think I'm much of an expert, and I don't think my skills are good enough to make a tutorial. But I promised you guys a tutorial, and I made one. Hopefully this will help some beginners.

No problem! I also have two other face/head tutorials if you would like to see them. I'm glad it is useful!

If you would like me to link you to other useful tutorials as well, I would be more than happy to~

*just now got around to reading this*
Really, this was helpful. I usually do the "eyes to high on the head' mistake...
Also, I prefer drawing a 4/4 nose on a 4/4 head, even if it's much much harder. It makes my animesque drawings somewhat more realistic, which is what I am aiming for. (I try to blend the good elements of anime with the good elements of realism.) Not saying that you're wrong, just my personal opinion.

Lol, I forgot to post the last part of this series. *will get to it later*

I've been working to make my noses a little better for front views, my style has changed a lot this year. (kind of annoying, really, since I end up hating everything I draw when I realize my style looks better later)

Can't wait to see it.

I'm the same way with my style. Recently, I tried to draw a shaded not-sketch with coloured pencils without using my regular pencil-to-pen outline, and it makes me shun my older works because it looks awesomish.

Maybe I'll put it up this weekend~

Yeah, I've been messing with new ideas, and pretty much things I drew a few weeks ago start to look like crap.

Yay.

You know you're really improving when things you drew on the same page start to look like crap to eachother. (I hope that made sense.)

Very true, I hope to get good enough to finish something and be satisfied with it so I can actually make an art portfolio for a college application next year. XD

Hmm...maybe change your style for each genre (is that the right word?) so it better fits in with that genre. Unless they want you to remain consistent.
