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.

As usual, your tutorials are A-grade material. 8) I tend to have the most trouble with differentiating nose shape, myself--so that link was super helpful!
Thanks for taking the time to put this together.

The best part of your tutorials (besides, ya know, me learning stuff) is that you make me LAUGH. You have my interlove for life for that.

Awesome! I love these things. Thanks for another great one. Though when I was about 3/4 of the way through, I was beginning to think you'd forgotten the token chinchilla. But nope, most definitely not.

lol, yeah not all of it, but it teaches VERY bad habits if you want to learn how to draw interesting things.
And thanks! I hope it helps XD Thanks for reading!!
š: 0 ā©: 1

Awesome. I really like all of your tutorials, they're direct, fun to read and very informative. Also, they show, don't tell, and require the reader to engage the brain, excellent teaching method. :3

Ah, yet another wonderful tutorial. I really do enjoy them, hahaha.
I've been needing a tutorial like this, actually. Very very useful once again.
Also, I love your comments about anime. I have a friend who says "EW" to anything that's not anime (despite how utterly amazing it might be), he just pisses me off sometimes. Anime's not the only style.
ANYWAYS great job!

Thank you :3
And yeah, that sucks. I substitute at highschools and I see kids like that all the time, it makes me sad... I want to slap them and be like no! in 10 years you'll regret only liking anime, its seriously not the only art form out there ;__;
š: 0 ā©: 1
I used to be like that, but I've seen the light, hur hur.
I mean, I don't completely hate anime if it's done right, but it can't be ALL you draw, y'know? And that goes for any style, really, but anime is so popular and blah blah blah, people (mainly children) always limit themselves to it.
š: 0 ā©: 0
yes! I always enjoy your tutorials, and this one will really help a lot. Thanks so much for making these.

I wish i could stop reading these tutorials and actually draw.
But mabye that awaits another day....

I'll take your advice on the eyes thing!
I always draw a circle too, but only draw the central axis... then I just work my way around. However, if I am going to work with a more difficult angle, I do use some other guide-lines...
I think I should worry more about the teeth too... (unless my characters all happen to have poor dental health D: )
š: 0 ā©: 1
Yeah, I don't draw the circles under the eyes since I kinda know they're there. I have to double check they're lined up though, since I tend to make them crooked or one higher than the other or something... and YES teeth are so important! I am so bad at those myself, only started correcting my work a few weeks ago...
š: 0 ā©: 1
ah on, I meant the pupil things. Sometimes my boys look cross-eyed because I always draw the... colored part of the eye first (shit I really need to know more about my favourite organ D:

IMMA FIRIN MY CHILLA
Wow, that sounds kinda perverted.
Dunno if I've mentioned this before, but I like the layout and design elements you use on your tutorials. Always have such nice colors.
Everyone has really old, poorly-done anime drawing under their bed somewhere. I had the misfortune of discovering mine last week...
š: 0 ā©: 1
D: See! There are monsters under the bed after all... (haha thats where I keep all my crap too)
