Description A step-by-step of the process I follow when I draw my Yaut'ja (aka. Predator) face and heads.
My style is cartoony and my Yaut'ja end up looking not very intimidating or realistic, but if the steps, helplines, and process is in anyway helpful, you are welcome.

This is pretty useful I'm using this and a photo reference of my face to try to get a predator character that actually looks like me XD

I hope this will be helpful, as I've heard many struggle with making Yaut'ja. What a cool idea, when I do Suni as my alter-ego I try and replicate the same hair color (and if possible style too), eye color and the shape of the chin. And same body type and clothes.

no worries, i'll make one someday, i'm using HB pencil to draw and i'm drawing loosely more than ever, i use to draw strictly such as trying to get the detail but i'm just getting some of the flow of it, i just need more time to draw though

Predaguy In reply to ??? [2013-04-08 01:48:30 +0000 UTC]

This is exactly the way I do it, I usually just make the brows a lot closer together though haha.

XenoPredDragon In reply to Predaguy [2013-04-08 02:12:18 +0000 UTC]

Good to know this is a used method! Huh yeah, the brows ended looking a bit far apart, I guess that's what I get when I just flip horizontally and copy pasting a lot, think I'll edit it some more and update my grammar. but thanks for the comment, highly appreciate it!

Awesome. There is far too little tutorials on this. c: Glad you helped out.
And I don't think your style is bad for yautja. Especially for this tutorial. It makes things simple and easy to follow and learn. c:
pssss. You spelled 'damaged' wrong. Just thought I could tell you about that. c:

XenoPredDragon In reply to Jorda96 [2013-04-08 00:54:30 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it is a rarity, I personally can only personally recall to have seen 2-3 of them.
And thanks, I hope it'll be useful like that, I got inspired from a friend doing his first Predator drawing, and asked me for advice, I not knowing how to explain by words rather went to draw, and it ended up rather good so I continued working on it and this is the result.
Oh, alright, thanks! I'll have it fixed.

Jorda96 In reply to XenoPredDragon [2013-04-11 08:24:00 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. Guess it's that not a whole lot of people that draw preds more than once know how to really explain how to draw them. I can understand why. Drawing their faces can be tricky. xD But worth it.
AH, neat. c:
