Description Two amazing and wonderful individuals -- DragonInTheShadow and Ruvon-san  -- asked for some advice concerning face shape so Hyanna-Natsu , Pemiin , and I did a small face shape session on discord ! With their permission, I've posted the session to help others as well ! >w<

Disclaimer: None of us are anatomy experts. lol. self taught. Feel free to share your wisdom below as well <3 

I'll explain what was changed in each picture ! Anything that's followed by the number "1" means it was the original picture by either Dragon or Ruvon! <3 

A1-->A2: Hyan. Original picture displays a front facing character with head tilted slightly to the side. In the redline, the eyes were moved to appear more midline, mouth was made smaller for cuteness factor, forehead/skull size was decreased (you can see the cat ears have been lowered). Jaw was also adjusted to make it more symmetrical with the position of the neck as well as soften the jaw/cheeks to give a more feminine appearance. 

B1-->B2: Pemiin. Original picture displays front facing character with head tilt and eyes closed. In redline, jaws were softened and cheeks were widened to give a very cute appearance (our cheeks pop out when we're smiling right?) and eyes were moved down / made thicker to make them more apparent! Hair was also altered to make it look more natural. 

C1-->C2: Vi. Original picture shows character turned at a 3/4 view. Changes made include accentuating the cheek, moving the character's left eye more left (the character's left), changing the positions of the eyes (changed from front facing eyes to side facing eyes -- refer to question mark and then the "YES" with the black sketched images), and then decreased shoulder width because smaller shoulders == cuter. The original hair was super poofy, so it was made smaller. I approach hair like this -- the top of the hair poofs up to twice the length between the top of the eyes and chin. Recommend to use this as a reference for hair height but not necessary. 

D1-->D2. Vi. Original picture for D1 is the same as E1. For D2, chin was made more feminine by softening the jaw, altered the ears to make them a bit more closer to the human ear anatomy, then used the rule of 1/2 for placement of eyes, nose, and mouth. Rule of 1/2 : top of eyes are near top of ears . 1/2 down from eyes to chin is nose. 1/2 down from nose to chin is mouth. Not necessary to follow this all the time but sets a nice standard. 

E1-->E2. Pemiin. Shape all in all is pretty good! But the placement and size of the ears make a a huge difference. The way I measure the placement of the eyes with the lines is where they'll have depth basically. 

Kinda uploaded this super fast so I'm sorry if anything is unclear or if I missed something !!! Hopefully it's of use to everyone >w< Feel free to download for study purposes only <3

lol, just realized I'm the only person involved in this who doesn't have Core... you, Pem, and Hyan makes sense since most large artists have it either because it makes sense to buy it or it's gifted to them, but even Ruvon has it... I'm all alone... there's no fancy symbol by my name... I'm just... Dragon T_T
*weeps in core-less corner where you cannot reach me*

lol, but seriously, I cannot express my gratitude towards you, Pemiin , and Hyanna-Natsu ! You guys were so kind to not only help me, but actually redline my drawings (at three different frames!), explain all the changes in detail, and even put up with my inability to find any picture in the beginning >w<

You guys are all the best! Thank you soooo much!
//hugs all three of you to death because you are all kindness wrapped in floofie warmness
